Xbox is “really looking forward to supporting [Nintendo] with the games that we have”
With Nintendo having now officially announced the Switch 2, many fans have begun to wonder and speculate on what 3rd-party titles could come to the next-gen system. It seems Xbox will be on the (likely) long list of publishers, with Phil Spencer claiming to be “really looking forward to supporting them with the games that we have.”
In an interview with Phil Spencer (conducted by Danny Peña), the CEO of Microsoft Gaming was asked to share his thoughts on the recently announced Nintendo Switch 2.
While Microsoft is contractually obligated to bring the Call of Duty series to Nintendo’s systems, it seems the company plans to support the upcoming console with a variety of titles, saying:
“I was exchanged some mail with CEO of Nintendo. I gave him a big congrats I said my old eyes appreciate the larger screen. [..] You know Nintendo in their Innovation, like what they mean in this industry, like I just always applaud the moves that they make. [..] Really looking forward to supporting them with the games that we have and I just think they're such an important part of this industry.”
As mentioned, during the Xbox acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft promised to bring Call of Duty to future Nintendo Systems. Furthermore, we have seen a number of prior Xbox exclusives brought to Switch in recent years, including Ori and the Blind Forest; Hi-FI Rush and Grounded – and so this isn’t too surprising.
Still, with rumours abound of Xbox being set to bring the likes of Halo, Hellblade 2 and Gears of War to more platforms, the Switch 2 could see a huge influx of Xbox titles when it arrives some time this year.
