Xbox to announce more ports for Switch 2 and PS5 soon

While Microsoft has brought quite a few games over to the rival PS5 platform over the past year, its Nintendo support is still lagging behind. With the Switch 2 now available, many Xbox titles, and big games like Call of Duty, are expected on Nintendo's platform, and official announcements are just around the corner.

According to Chris Dring of The Game Business, Xbox is “expected to announce more game ports to other platforms, including Switch 2 and PS5, in the coming weeks”. The move comes as analysts piece together the state of the industry and the growing need for console makers to branch out to other platforms.

Analyst firm, Circana, has found that the top ten live service games eat up 50% of all gaming hours in the US, leaving single-player games and smaller, emerging IPs to fight over the remaining 50% of the market. As a result, getting those games on more platforms is more important than ever before. At this point, all three major console makers are now multi-platform game makers.

Sony has been bringing its games to PC for several years now. Microsoft ships on Xbox, PC, PS5 and Nintendo Switch. As for Nintendo, the company has a bustling mobile game business to supplement the rising costs of developing AAA games for its main console platforms.

KitGuru Says: What games do you think Microsoft will bring to Switch 2? Personally, I'd like to see Halo finally burst out of the exclusivity bubble, perhaps then we'd finally get a new version of Halo 5.
