"I think the problem is, we've really targeted our min spec in a way that we would have to revisit performance and how to get on that platform," he told Express Online (via NeoGAF).
In addition to that, Kaplan said it's already no small task to support Overwatch on three platforms--PC, Xbox One, and PS4--so adding a fourth isn't something Blizzard could necessarily do right now.
The game director also talked about how he's happy that his team has been able to patch Overwatch on all systems at around the same time. Bringing on a new platform in the Nintendo Switch "would make that difficult," Express Online reported.
Overall, however, Kaplan doubled down on his earlier comment, saying Nintendo Switch remains a possibility for Overwatch sometime down the road.
"Just because we're not on a platform right now, it doesn't mean we won't reconsider it in the future, so we stay aware of all these things," he explained.
