In a recent podcast, Xbox CEO, Phil Spencer, announced that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with what will likely be a wide variety of games. He states the following:
“Who would ever bet against the success of that team, I mean, they are just masterful in what they do, Switch is a massive success and I think Switch 2 will be as well…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.”
There are several games that Xbox could port over to the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s possible that Doom: The Dark Ages, Starfield, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and maybe even the Halo franchise could release on the upcoming console. Xbox will likely confirm more details about the games they intend to release for the Nintendo Switch 2 before the year ends.
