A new report suggests that multiple Xbox and third-party titles are making their way to the newly-announced Nintendo Switch 2.

Following a ton of leaks, Nintendo officially revealed its highly anticipated Switch 2 console last week, and it’s quickly become one of the most talked-about consoles of 2025. With a sleek black design, a first-look trailer teasing a new Mario Kart, and backward compatibility for most Switch games, fans are already speculating about what the launch lineup might include.

From Nintendo classics to potential third-party surprises, there’s a lot riding on this console’s debut. Adding to the chatter is the question of how Nintendo plans to compete with the likes of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

This isn’t the first time Xbox games have been rumored to cross platforms. Recent reports hinted at titles like Hellblade 2 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection launching on PlayStation 5 in 2025. This suggests Microsoft’s strategy is shifting toward making its games accessible across a wider range of devices, possibly focusing more on software sales and subscriptions than hardware exclusivity.

It’s important to note that these claims are unverified, and we suggest taking everything with a grain of salt until Nintendo or Microsoft confirms them. Still, the idea of the Switch 2 launching with such high-profile games adds to the excitement surrounding the console’s potential and what it can handle.

As for the hardware itself, the Switch 2 is rumored to pack some serious power. Early reports suggest a performance level beyond what the Steam Deck offers, which could make it a standout device for both handheld and docked gaming.
