Microsoft has already expressed a strong desire to support the Nintendo Switch 2 system when it launches later this year. While no Xbox Studios games have been confirmed for the system at the time of writing, it’s claimed that multiple ports are in the works.
Following the reveal of Gears of War and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 for PlayStation 5, a report revealed that a number of Nintendo Switch 2 games are currently in the works for the new handheld.

Largely accurate Xbox insider Tom Warren explained in a recent The Verge article that projects like Hellblade 2’s PS5 ports are part of “Project Latitude… which see the software giant evolving the Xbox platform to bring more games to rival platforms.”
Alongside Hellblade 2, Xbox is reportedly looking to bring Halo: Combat Evolved and Microsoft Flight Simulator to PlayStation 5. However, Sony’s console isn’t the only target for the company’s expansion into multi-platform coverage.
“Microsoft is also working on some Xbox ports for Nintendo’s Switch 2,” the reporter explained.
Microsoft already supported the original Switch console with numerous ports of exclusive titles. Xbox exclusives such as Ori and the Blind Forest, Cuphead, Grounded and more received great ports to the system.
With the massive power boost of the handheld’s successor, we could finally see games such as Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Gears of War, Forza Horizon 5 and more come to the handheld.
Additionally, Call of Duty – which is now owned by Microsoft – is expected to come to the Nintendo Switch 2 as part of the company’s FTC agreement to acquire Activision-Blizzard.
