Xbox's Multi-Platform Push Expands: Halo and Flight Simulator Rumored for PS5 and Switch 2
Reports suggest a significant expansion of Microsoft's multi-platform strategy, with potential releases of major Xbox franchises on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Industry insider NateTheHate claims that Halo: The Master Chief Collection is slated for both consoles, with a projected 2025 release. This follows Microsoft's recent move to bring titles like Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, and Sea of Thieves to other platforms. The inclusion of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and the upcoming release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on PS5 further solidifies this trend.
NateTheHate also predicts a multi-platform release for Microsoft Flight Simulator, likely referencing the recently launched MFS 2024, also anticipated for a 2025 launch on PS5 and Switch 2.
This expansion is supported by another insider, Jez Corden, who tweeted that "way more" Xbox games will be making their way to PS5 and Switch 2 in 2025, suggesting the end of the era of exclusive Xbox titles.
The ten-year agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo consoles, announced in late 2022, further reinforces this shift. The absence of Switch Call of Duty releases to date may be attributed to the anticipation of the more powerful Switch 2, better equipped to handle the game's graphical demands.
