Phil Spencer confirms Xbox will support Switch 2

Since last year it has been no surprise that Microsoft will continue to support other platforms including PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. With the Switch 2 being revealed and the Xbox Developer Direct having just passed, Phil Spencer was interviewed talking about Nintendo’s new console. 

Through a new interview with Gamertag Radio on YouTube, Phil Spencer confirmed Xbox will be supporting the Switch 2. This doesn’t come as a surprise since we’ve already seen Grounded, Pentiment, and Minecraft make their way to the Nintendo Switch. 

The Microsoft Gaming CEO said he exchanged words with Furukawa-san, the CEO of Nintendo:

“I was exchanging emails with Furukawa-san, the CEO of Nintendo. I gave him a big congrats and said my old eyes appreciate the larger screen.”

“Nintendo, their innovation, and what they mean in this industry… I just always applaud the moves that they make. They did a little flash video, and I know we’ll get more detail over time. I’m really looking forward to supporting them with the games that we have, and I just think they’re a really important part of this industry.”

What Xbox Games Will Release On Switch 2?

Spencer’s comments suggest that more iconic Xbox titles are likely to be released on the Switch 2 and PS5. Previous rumors have indicated that titles such as Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Doom: The Dark Ages will be coming to the Switch 2.

Rectify Gaming created a list of 5 Xbox games that should be released on the Nintendo Switch 2. That list includes Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 5, and more. At this rate, anything is possible for what Xbox has coming in the future as they are about bringing games anywhere possible. Even if that means on your refrigerator. 

Microsoft will have to support the next Nintendo console since they did sign an agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo Platforms for 10 years.
