Summary
- Microsoft reportedly plans to bring Xbox games to Nintendo Switch 2 to expand its multi-platform strategy.
- Xbox has already released games like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush on PS5 and Switch.
- Nintendo Switch 2, slated to launch on June 5, will offer enhanced performance for original Switch titles.
A recent announcement indicates that Microsoft is planning to transfer some of its exclusive Xbox games onto the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, but specific titles and release dates have not been disclosed yet. This move aligns with Microsoft’s broader, multi-platform approach to distribute their games across various systems.
2024 marked the start of Microsoft’s shift in strategy, moving toward making some of its key games available not just on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, but also on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. This multi-platform approach continued in 2025, with Xbox releasing “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” on PlayStation 5 in April. Furthermore, “Doom: The Dark Ages” and “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered” were launched simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass as well.
As a gaming enthusiast, I was thrilled to learn about Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition dropping on PS5 this summer. However, a recent report by Tom Warren from The Verge has piqued my interest even further. It seems that Microsoft is planning to bring some of their games to the upcoming Switch 2 console, although specifics are still under wraps. Nintendo’s latest system, launching on June 5, promises an exciting lineup, including Mario Kart World, enhanced versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and more. Interestingly, the Switch 2 will also provide free updates for original Switch titles like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, enhancing their performance and graphics to make the most of the new console’s improved hardware.
Microsoft Is Working On Porting Xbox Games To The Switch 2
- Microsoft is reportedly porting some first-party games to the Switch 2.
- It is not known which games are being considered or when they will be released.
- Microsoft has released first-party games like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush on PS5 and Switch.
- Xbox games will continue to see multi-platform launches of some games in 2025.
As a gaming enthusiast, it’s clear that Nintendo hasn’t said anything about any third-party Xbox releases just yet. However, if rumors are to be believed, Microsoft’s strategy for bringing Xbox games to portable devices goes beyond just the Switch 2. It seems they’re teaming up with ASUS for their ROG Ally 2 under a project codenamed “Project Kennan.” If things pan out as expected, one version of this upcoming device could feature native Xbox elements and an 8-core AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU. The price and release date for the ASUS ROG Ally 2 are still up in the air at the moment.
Regardless of a turbulent initial phase for pre-orders, Nintendo has asserted that numerous units of the Switch 2 will be distributed during its first year on the market. As Nintendo is set to attend Gamescom, it remains uncertain if Microsoft and Nintendo will unveil any details about the Switch 2 at this event.
