Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has confirmed that Xbox games will be available on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This news comes as a surprise to many, especially considering Xbox's previous focus on exclusivity. The Switch 2 is expected to be a powerful handheld console, capable of running AAA games. While specific titles haven't been announced, rumors suggest popular games like Halo, Gears of War, and Fallout may make their way to the platform. This development raises questions about Xbox's future handheld plans, as supporting the Switch 2 might potentially create overlap with their own potential device.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will indeed feature Xbox games. Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the most anticipated pieces of hardware this decade. Nintendo is one of the most respected video game companies out there, having made incredible games and consoles for decades now.
There was a period where it seemed like Nintendo had lost its mainstream appeal thanks to the failure of the Wii U, but it proved that was anything but true with the incredibly innovative Nintendo Switch. Nintendo set a new standard for gaming by releasing a handheld that was powerful enough to play AAA console games and also connect to the TV. \The Nintendo Switch is still fairly underpowered compared to a lot of hardware, but it was a great starting place and allowed other companies to take notes and make things like the Steam Deck. While there are a lot of unknowns about the Switch 2, we still don’t know how powerful it actually is. It’s expected to be comparable to a PS4 Pro, which isn’t too bad given a lot of games are still coming out on PS4 every year. A proper deep dive into the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected later, but Nintendo wanted to come out and reveal the console sooner than that to whet appetites. All we officially know is what it looks like and that it will have a bigger screen than its predecessor. Spencer himself even commented on the new screen, saying he was thankful they gave the console a bigger screen for his eyes. He spoke highly of Nintendo’s achievements and innovations while also confirming that Xbox looks forward to supporting Nintendo Switch 2 with its own games. \As of right now, specific titles have not been officially confirmed, but there are a lot of rumors about what games may be included. An insider known as NateTheHate, who correctly leaked the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal date ahead of time, previously noted that Halo: The Master Chief Collection is planned for Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5 later this year. Other rumors indicate Gears of War, Fallout 4, Diablo 4, and more are also planned for Nintendo Switch 2. As of right now, all parties are remaining tight-lipped on the matter, but if true, it would make for a very strong launch lineup. There’s a massive library of games on Xbox that would be really fun if made playable natively on a handheld, which means it could come to Nintendo Switch 2 if the console has the power. Although it’s not necessarily surprising to see Xbox making its games available elsewhere after years of slowly moving away from exclusives, the Switch 2 is interesting. Xbox has expressed a desire to create its own handheld device and supporting Switch 2 for years before an Xbox handheld may make the latter somewhat redundant. Of course, Xbox could outmatch Nintendo in terms of overall power and having a device to natively play Game Pass titles, but that would also mean it would probably be more expensive
