CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with Nintendo, hinting towards a promising future for Xbox titles on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
His recent remarks during the recent episode of the Gamertag Radio podcast suggest that some games could soon make their way to the next generation console Nintendo. These games include Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
In his discussion, Spencer lauded the creative efforts of Nintendo and the remarkable success of the original Switch, expressing confidence that the Switch 2 will also thrive.
He did not confirm anything specific about Xbox games for the new console. Microsoft has already shown its willingness to share previously exclusive titles with competing platforms.
The company has successfully launched Minecraft across several platforms including the Switch as well. It has made available two Ori games, Pentimnt and Grounded on the system of Nintendo. With the expected power of the Switch 2 set to make its debut in 2025, Microsoft may find it easier to port some of its more demanding titles like the Halo series and exclusive games to Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
Furthermore, Microsoft has pledged to bring the Call of Duty franchise to the ecosystem of Nintendo. Activision Blizzard, under the umbrella of Microsoft, has already released several titles such as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1&2, Overwatch 2, and Diablo on the Switch.
It is a hint that these games or their sequels could also be there on the Switch 2. Spencer suggested that Microsoft games will increasingly be available on different platforms. Highlighting that a major portion of Xbox’s 2025 lineup might also find its way to Switch and PlayStation consoles.
However, Spencer chose not to disclose specific details regarding support for the Switch 2. It is likely out of respect for Nintendo’s approach to unveil information about the new console.
