Zenless Zone Zero dev hints at future Switch and Xbox ports

Jun 19, 2024 4:00 AM

Zenless Zone Zero's lead producer, Zheyu Li, expressed interest in seeing the game released on all platforms, including Switch and Xbox. However, for now, the development team is focusing on polishing the versions for PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile devices. The urban fantasy gacha RPG is set to launch on July 4, with 40 million pre-registrations already recorded. While hints for a Switch port exist, no concrete release windows for additional platforms have been provided, reiterating the ongoing prioritization of PlayStation, PC, and mobile releases by HoYoverse, similar to their previous titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail.

When will Zenless Zone Zero be released on Switch and Xbox?

Currently, there are no confirmed release dates for Zenless Zone Zero on Switch and Xbox. The development team is prioritizing the launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile devices. While the producer expressed interest in bringing the game to all platforms in the future, no specific timelines have been provided.

Zenless Zone Zero is an upcoming urban fantasy gacha RPG from HoYoverse, known for their successful titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Both previous games started with releases on PC, mobile, and PlayStation before hints of possible future expansions to other consoles. Genshin Impact, for example, has a long-standing rumor about a Switch release, but it has yet to materialize. HoYoverse's strategy often involves solidifying their key platforms before exploring further expansions, aiming for optimized launches and maximizing their huge pre-registration figures, as seen with Zenless Zone Zero.

Zenless Zone Zero's focus on polished releases for PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile shows HoYoverse’s commitment to quality over quantity. With 40 million pre-registrations already, it’s clear they’re aiming to make a big impact before expanding to platforms like Switch and Xbox.

HoYoverse is clearly playing the long game with Zenless Zone Zero, focusing on making sure the key platforms are rock solid before expanding. With a precedent set by Genshin Impact, it's smart for them to build a strong foundation first—only then can they think about expanding to the Switch and Xbox.

It's pretty exciting to see the buzz around Zenless Zone Zero with such huge pre-registration numbers While it's a bummer there's no definitive Switch or Xbox release date yet, it's smart for HoYoverse to focus on nailing the PC, PS5, and mobile versions first, judging by their track record with games like Genshin Impact.
