Speculation around the first games for the Nintendo Switch 2 continues. After months of waiting and clues from various sources, new rumors have reignited fans' enthusiasm and reinforced the fact that Xbox will be one of the biggest publishers to support Nintendo's Switch 2.
Nintendo Switch 2: rumors intensifying around the first games
One of the most talked about names is Starfield, Bethesda's space RPG released in 2023 exclusively on Xbox and PC. According to the latest information from renowned insider eXtas1s, Nintendo and Bethesda could collaborate to bring this flagship game to the Switch 2. An announcement which, if confirmed, would mark a new strategic turning point for Nintendo in terms of partnerships.
In addition to Starfield, other games developed by Xbox studios could appear in the Nintendo Switch 2 launch line-up. Another insider, Nate The Hate, who correctly leaked the announcement date of the Switch 2, had already stated that the Xbox games already available on Nintendo Switch will all benefit from an update to support 4K on Switch 2. The list of games mentioned in rumor by the two insiders is already quite impressive, here are the Xbox games who should disembark on Switch 2 according to their information.
- Sea of Thieves
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Halo Master Chief Collection
- Diablo 4
- Call of Duty
- Fallout 4
Xbox, best supporter of the Switch 2?
Developing a port of Starfield on a portable console may seem like a major technical challenge, but we must not forget that the game already runs on a console like the Xbox Series S, which is not very powerful.
-The Bethesda title, known for its gigantic open worlds and high-end graphics, requires significant hardware performance to run in the best conditions, but we have seen that the framerate and resolution can be adjusted to run on less powerful machines .
Nintendo has yet to reveal the technical details of the Switch 2, but rumors point to a more powerful processor and support for NVIDIA's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), which could greatly help run demanding games in resources.
Either way, if releasing all of these Xbox games on Switch 2 proves true, it would show a stronger collaboration than ever between Microsoft and Nintendo, and raise new questions about Xbox's strategy with its in-house games.
