According to a new leak, several Microsoft-exclusive titles are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Thank you in advance to Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson for their work on collating all of the leaks on this one!
As revealed in a new video from well-known leaker eXtas1s, six games from developers owned by Microsoft are reportedly going to see release on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The titles are Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Diablo 4, Fallout 4, Starfield and an unspecified “Call of Duty game”.

As noted by Henderson, there seems to be a bit more weight behind this leak than usual, as both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection were included in a different Nintendo Switch 2 leak from NateTheHate earlier in the month.
As far as the “Call of Duty game” goes, we have no idea whether it’s referring to a previously released title, or new title altogether - although Henderson theorises that it could be the recently leaked Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 sequel.

Now obviously this is a big deal, but it’s a little less surprising than it might seem at first.
Nintendo and Microsoft have been working together for a long time now, and they have a very good working relationship (according to Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo of America).
“We have a great relationship with Microsoft,” Bowser told Inverse during an interview in 2003, We consider them to be partners in many, many ways, and you only have to look at Nintendo Switch to see that partnership.”
“Obviously, Minecraft is on Nintendo Switch, and we brought Banjo Kazooie to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. So, we're looking forward to that partnership continuing.”
Personally, I think the inverse of this shared relationship would be a lot more interesting.
Sure, we’ll probably get a few Xbox games on the Nintendo Switch 2… but I wonder if we’ll get any Nintendo Switch 2 games on the next Xbox?
If Master Chief can come to Nintendo consoles, I reckon it’s only fair for the Xbox to get a Pokémon game or two…
