Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil in an interview with Gamertag Radio stated Xbox will be supporting the Nintendo Switch 2 and has talked with Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa.

“I was exchanging emails with Furukawa-san, the CEO of Nintendo. I gave him a big congrats and said my old eyes appreciate the larger screen,” said Spencer (via VideoGamesChronicle).

“Nintendo, their innovation, and what they mean in this industry. I just always applaud the moves that they make. They did a little flash video, and I know we’ll get more detail over time. I’m really looking forward to supporting them with the games that we have, and I just think they’re a really important part of this industry.”

He added, “It’s hard with what’s publicly out there right now for everybody to get their [heads] around it, but who would ever bet against the success of that team? They are just masterful in what they do, Switch is a massive success, and I think Switch 2 will be as well.”

Xbox has been releasing more of its games on other consoles – the Nintendo switch and PlayStation. This includes Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded in 2024. Doom: The Dark Ages and The Outer Worlds 2 will launch day one on the PlayStation 5, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to PS5 this Spring.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch in 2025 and the Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 will take place on Wednesday, April 2.
