Rumor: One of the Biggest Xbox Franchises Reportedly Coming to Switch 2, PS5

Rumors suggest that Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 are slated for release on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025. This follows Microsoft's February 2024 initiative to expand its first-party titles to other consoles. Games like Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, and Sea of Thieves have already made the transition, along with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (October 2024) and the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Spring 2025).

Industry insider NateTheHate reported hearing about the potential ports of Halo: The Master Chief Collection and a Microsoft Flight Simulator title (likely MFS 2024) to PS5 and Switch 2, both anticipated for a 2025 launch. This aligns with another insider, Jez Corden's, prediction that significantly more Xbox games will become multi-platform in 2025, suggesting an end to the era of exclusive Xbox titles.

The ten-year agreement between Microsoft and Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo consoles further supports this trend. The absence of Switch titles to date may be attributed to awaiting the release of the more powerful Switch 2, better equipped to handle the visual demands of modern Call of Duty games.
