not sure if this is even the right place to ask since this isn't related to homebrew but I have the long dark on pc through epic games and really want to play it on my switch but I don't wanna have to buy it twice. Is it possible to just transfer the game? i'm assuming not but that's why i'm asking

my switch is not hacked

PCs generally have x86 processors, Switch have a Tegra processor (ARM) are completely incompatible between. so software for one doesn't run on the other unless you put a emulator.

so for old PC games you can use DosBox on the Switch.

and for Switch games you can run Yuzu on your PC.

but emulation requieres LOTS of CPU power, so you on Switch can't emulate latest games.

other way are ports, but they need access to source code and then translate into the new computer language and recompile, by example, Super Mario 64 was ported to Switch:
