Is Tekken 8 on Nintendo Switch?

No, Tekken 8 is not available on Nintendo Switch. The game is only available on the following platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

This is most likely due to the demanding nature of the game, and if the devs have deemed the game too much for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the Switch will likely struggle to run Tekken 8.

Tekken 8 brings more detail to the franchise than ever before.

The game has been developed in accordance with the power of PC rigs and the latest consoles. That said, you can play the game on the Steam Deck, so if you’re looking to enjoy the 3D fighter on a portable device, that’s your best bet.

Tekken’s last appearance on a handheld was on the PSP with Tekken 6. That said, Bandai Namco have recently produced Switch ports of some of their games such as Dragon Ball Fighter Z and Poken Tournament DX, so there’s always a chance that Tekken 8 could pop up on the Switch in the future.
