Why 'Genshin Impact' Switch Cancellation Appear?

In 2021, Nintendo Switch suffered from hardware issues, which led to rumors about the "Genshin Impact" Switch version's cancellation.

Although this is the case, MiHoYo claimed that the new video game's Nintendo version would be released in 2021. Of course, this didn't happen.

Because of this, speculation about the cancellation became stronger. Some individuals claim that weaker hardware is among the main reasons why MiHoYo canceled the Switch version of its popular adventure title.

The issue is specifically with the Nintendo eShop. Speculations claimed that since "Genshin Impact" relies on microtransactions, such as Primogems, Passes, and Fates, the Switch version will need premium options. 

If this is true, then it will be an issue for the Nintendo eShop. 

Now that MiHoYo debunked this claim, the questions of fans regarding the upcoming "Genshin Impact" Switch version have been answered.

This is why it is important to wait for the game publisher's official announcements before believing in unproven rumors.
