Xbox Games Coming to Nintendo Switch 2

Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has publicly endorsed Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 console ahead of its anticipated 2025 launch. This strategic move signals Microsoft's commitment to strengthening ties with Nintendo in the gaming market.

Xbox Will Continue Porting Games to Nintendo Switch 2

In a January 2025 interview with Gamertag Radio, Xbox chief Phil Spencer revealed plans to bring multiple Xbox titles to Nintendo's next-generation console. Spencer disclosed ongoing communication with Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa, praising Nintendo's innovative approach: "I just always applaud the moves that they make...I'm really looking forward to supporting them with the games that we have."

Microsoft-Nintendo Partnership Expands

This commitment builds upon Microsoft's existing 10-year agreement with Nintendo, originally announced in February 2023. The deal guarantees Call of Duty releases on Nintendo platforms with full feature parity alongside Xbox versions. With games like Grounded already crossing platforms, the upgraded Switch 2 hardware may enable even more Xbox titles to reach Nintendo's audience.

Xbox Develops New Platform While Expanding Reach

Spencer confirmed ongoing hardware development at Microsoft, stating Xbox aims to create platforms preferred by both developers and players across devices. "Let's go build innovative hardware that people want to use to play," Spencer emphasized during the interview.

Multi-Platform Strategy Takes Center Stage

Building on its "This is an Xbox" marketing campaign launched November 2024, Microsoft continues pushing its vision of gaming across devices. The company has partnered with brands like Samsung and Crocs™ to extend Xbox's presence beyond traditional gaming hardware, demonstrating its commitment to accessibility while maintaining hardware innovation.
