Highlights
  • Microsoft brings Xbox games to new Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
  • Nintendo Switch 2 launches June 5, 2025 with major upgrades.
  • Cross-platform strategy expands gaming communities beyond exclusive consoles.

According to Gadgets360, Microsoft plans to bring Xbox games to the Nintendo Switch 2. Phil Spencer, the boss of Xbox Gaming, said they want to support the new Nintendo console with their games. The Nintendo Switch 2 will be shown to the public in April 2025 and released on June 5, 2025. Microsoft is doing this to reach more players who don’t have Xbox or PC, and to help grow their gaming community.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is Nintendo’s next gaming device that you can play at home or take with you. It will have a bigger 7.9-inch screen that shows clearer pictures, 256GB of storage for more games, and can connect to your TV to play games in 4K (very high quality). Cross-platform games are games you can play on different devices like Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo. Before, many Xbox games could only be played on Xbox, but now Microsoft wants more people to enjoy their games no matter what device they use.

Here are some Xbox games that might come to the Nintendo Switch 2:

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – a game where you can fly planes
  • Halo: The Master Chief Collection – famous space soldier shooting games
  • Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II – an adventure game with a warrior woman
  • Age of Mythology: Retold – a strategy game with gods and creatures
  • Gears of War: Ultimate Edition – an action game fighting monsters

This partnership is good news for players who like Nintendo but also want to play Xbox games. You won’t need to buy two different gaming systems to enjoy these games. Think of it like being able to watch your favorite TV shows on any TV brand, not just one specific kind.

This shows that gaming is changing – companies are focusing more on letting you play their games anywhere rather than making you buy their specific device. For the future, we might see even more games shared between different gaming systems, making it easier and cheaper for everyone to play the games they love.
