Summary
The latest rumors about potential upcomingNintendo Switch 2games suggest that five Xbox-owned titles could be coming to the home console/handheld hybrid at some point down the line. Nintendo has finally shown itsSwitch 2console to the world, but only a handful of games are confirmed to be in development for the console at the time of this writing.
Various indie games have declared for the Switch 2, while Nintendo itself has only confirmed that anewMario Kartgame is in developmentfor the console. In the meantime, rumors have been swirling about how aggressively other companies might be supporting the Switch 2, with Ubisoft said to have over half a dozen games in development for the system, and Microsoft said to be planning a great deal of support for it as well.
Nowleaker eXtas1shas potentially provided more insight on Microsoft’s plans for the Switch 2. If the leaks are to be believed,Diablo 4,Fallout 4,Halo: The Master Chief Collection,Microsoft Flight Simulator, andStarfieldmight all be in development for the Switch 2.Diablo 4in particular appears to be most likely to come to the Switch 2, which makes sense. After all, Blizzard broughtDiablo 3to the original Switch back in 2018, and sinceDiablo 4is a cross-gen game, it shouldn’t have much trouble running on Nintendo’s new handheld.
Xbox Games Rumored for the Switch 2
As far as the Bethesda games go, it really wouldn’t be all that surprising to see them on the Switch 2 either.Bethesda broughtSkyrimto the original Switch, and so it makes sense for it to bring some of its other games to the console’s successor.Fallout 4has remained hugely popular since its release in 2015, and whileStarfieldhasn’t enjoyed quite the same longevity, it has still been a massive sales and critical success for the company. ExpandingStarfieldto the Switch 2 will give even more gamers the opportunity to try it out, potentially growing interest in the IP in the process.
Halo: The Master Chief CollectionandMicrosoft Flight Simulatorare likely to raise the most eyebrows when it comes to rumored Switch 2 games, but this isn’t the first time that we’ve heard of these titles potentially going multi-platform. There have been persistent rumors thatHalois leaving Xbox exclusivity behind this year, withThe Master Chief Collectionapparently planned not just for the Switch 2, but the PS5 as well. Time will tell if there is any truth to these rumors, but more information should come to light in the months ahead.
Nintendo Switch 2
The successor to 2017’s Nintendo Switch continues down the same path as its predecessor, providing a hybrid experience that supports both home and handheld gaming.
