While they'll continue providing news and updates through their social media channels and official Discord server, they will evaluate the game's development and release feedback. On the game's official Nintendo Switch release announcement post, they are working extremely hard to have its PC launch before the Nintendo Switch's release and will share an update soon.
The PC and Nintendo Switch versions are free-to-play and won't require platform-specific subscriptions like the Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The developer has stated that there is a demand for the game to be available on other platforms but will continue work on its PC and Switch versions to ensure that the game is well-supported at launch and post-launch.
Lastly, the game will support cross-platform play or crossplay for its PC and Switch versions, allowing players to play the game on all their preferred platforms.
