　　As the Overwatch Nintendo Switch port has yet to be confirmed officially, we have to take everything with a huge grain of salt until an official confirmation comes in.

　　Rumors regarding a Switch port of Overwatch started making more sense following the announcement of the officially licensed Overwatch Switch case, which doesn't make much sense unless the game is indeed coming to Nintendo's hybrid console.

　　Blizzard's Jeffrey Kaplan reiterated his love for the Nintendo Switch multiple times in the past, so a port of the game feels more likely than ever.
