Xbox Games Coming to Nintendo Switch 2: Confirmation from Phil Spencer
Phil Spencer revealed that he personally reached out to Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa to congratulate him on the new console. In a humorous note, he mentioned that Switch 2’s larger screen would be an advantage as his eyesight weakens with age. Spencer also praised Nintendo’s innovative approach and success in the gaming industry, stating that Switch 2 would likely be a huge success.
Microsoft’s strategy, as Spencer explained, is to focus less on hardware exclusivity and more on expanding their games to as many platforms as possible. He emphasized that Xbox is no longer just a console, but a broad network of games and services. However, Spencer did not specify which Xbox games would be available on the Switch 2.
Nintendo is expected to reveal more details about the Switch 2 and its game library during the Direct event scheduled for April 2. Until then, fans are eagerly waiting for more information about the console and its features.
