WOAH

Remember Steep? Ubisoft's snow-based sports title was one of the first third-party games to be confirmed for the Switch, but we've seen very little of it since then, leading to rumours that it has been quietly canned while the French publisher focuses on games like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

However, according to Twitter user @TW_PhantomLord - who is employed at Ubisoft - the game isn't dead. The following quote is hastily-translated from the original French:

No, it's still in the phase of optimisation. The framerate plays "yo-yo" so [it's] impossible to get it out in the current state, but the game is not [dead].

It sounds like Ubisoft is having some issues in adapting the game to Nintendo's console, but at least we know that the developer is working hard to ensure it runs as well as possible on Switch. 

Are you still looking forward to playing Steep? Let us know with a comment.
