Strong Microsoft Presence Rumored for Switch 2
The Switch 2 is expected to be a much more powerful consolethan its predecessor, and with that power should come the ability to host many more third-party games than its predecessor. Microsoft worked to bring plenty of previously exclusive games to the original Nintendo Switch, with hits likePentimentandGroundedmaking their way onto the platform, but Switch fans have voiced a desire to see even more third-party support, with some feeling like the ports need to catch up and match more current-gen multi-platform releases.
Microsoft having a bolder presence on the Switch 2 could mean newer games likeIndiana Jones and the Golden CircleandSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2showing up. Other exclusives likeStarfieldcould eventually jump ship.Doom: The Dark Agescould be a strong contendersince bothDoom(2016) andDoom Eternalmade it to the original Switch system. The newest title coming to the newer console makes sense. That being said,Doom Eternalmade notable concessions to run well on the Switch, so the hardware improvement is likely long overdue. While there is some idea of what Microsoft games are coming to the Switch 2, rumors seem to suggest many more on the way.
