Spotify Won t Be Coming To Switch Despite Fan Demand

Even though fans have been asking Spotify to include the app on the Nintendo Switch since the console's initial release, this won't be happening. Even though fans have been asking Spotify to include a convenient application on the since the console's initial release, it seems like this won't be happening anytime soon. The Nintendo Switch is a great little gaming device. It's the least powerful of the major consoles, but it can still run most modern games. Even The Witcher 3 with a lot of work on CD Projekt Red's part. The Switch is also a handheld gaming device, one of the few ways to take gaming on the go without succumbing to the predatory practices of mobile games. This makes it a perfect candidate for apps like Netflix and Spotify. Yet according to Spotify, its app won't be on Switch anytime soon. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY On Spotify's community page, users can suggest things they'd like to see added to the service. They can also suggest directions they wish the company to take, although that's a crapshoot as one might imagine. It certainly was for , who posted back in April 2017 – shortly after the Switch launch – that they "STRONGLY feel" Spotify and Nintendo would benefit from a Spotify Switch app. Spotify replied with big no. via: Spotify Well technically, as you can see above, Spotify said that it has no further information to share, and, even if it did partner with Nintendo, we wouldn't know until it happened. The language is unclear in that corporate way. What is clear is that the suggestion was marked "Case Closed," which means Spotify's denial is all it has to say on the matter for the foreseeable future. What's really odd about the whole situation is that Spotify took two and a half years to respond. It only closed the case this past week despite the fact that it was around since 2017. The whole time, Spotify users have been commenting and showing support for the idea. The suggestion has 11,000 votes and 28 pages of comments. Needless to say, a lot of people seem to think Spotify on Switch is a great idea. The problem is that Spotify itself doesn't see the appeal. Or perhaps actually integrating the service onto the Switch is too difficult. Whatever the reason, fans are going to have to continue using their phones and computers to play music while inking turf or smashing bros. Source:
