Recent reports indicate Microsoft is working to port select first-party Xbox titles to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, though specific games haven't been confirmed. This move aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy to make its games available across multiple platforms, expanding beyond traditional Xbox exclusivity.

Microsoft began this multi-platform approach in 2024 with releases like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The strategy continues in 2025 with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle coming to PS5, while titles like Doom: The Dark Ages and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered are launching simultaneously across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S - all available on Xbox Game Pass from day one.

Following the announcement of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition coming to PS5, reports suggest Microsoft isn't stopping there. Industry insider Tom Warren revealed Xbox is developing ports for the Switch 2, though specific titles remain undisclosed. Nintendo's next-generation console launches June 5 with an impressive lineup including Mario Kart World and enhanced versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The Switch 2 will also provide free performance upgrades for original Switch games like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, leveraging its more powerful hardware.

Microsoft's Expanding Multi-Platform Vision

• Microsoft is actively porting first-party Xbox games to Switch 2
• Specific titles and release dates remain unconfirmed
• Successful multi-platform releases include Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush
• Xbox plans continued cross-platform releases throughout 2025

While Nintendo hasn't officially commented on Microsoft's third-party releases for Switch 2, Xbox's portable strategy extends beyond Nintendo's platform. Leaks suggest Microsoft is collaborating with ASUS on "Project Kennan," a version of the ROG Ally 2 handheld featuring Xbox-specific functionality and powered by an 8-core AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU. Details about pricing and availability remain unknown.

Despite initial pre-order challenges, Nintendo has assured ample Switch 2 inventory throughout its first year. With Nintendo confirmed for Gamescom 2025, industry watchers are curious whether Microsoft and Nintendo might reveal any Switch 2 collaborations at the event.
