5 Xbox Games That Should Release On Nintendo Switch 2

With the Nintendo Switch 2 now being made official earlier this week with a proper reveal of the console, many publishers including Xbox will be ready to support it. It’s not a secret that Microsoft will put some of its games on the Switch 2 as we’ve already seen a couple make it to the Switch 1. 

Rumors have already circulated that Halo: The Master Chief Collection will come to Nintendo’s platform along with PlayStation 5. Last year when Microsoft started to bring games like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to PS5, it won’t be shocking to see one or both of these games coming to the Switch 2.

Here is our list of 5 Xbox games that should be released on the Nintendo Switch 2:

5. Sea of Thieves

It makes perfect sense to see Rare release its latest and biggest game from 2018 to the Nintendo platform. Sea of Thieves probably would have been released on the Switch 1 if it could have handled it. However, this time around we could see the pirate adventure game release within the launch window of the Switch 2. 

When Sea of Thieves came to PlayStation 5, it was a top seller on the PlayStation Store selling over 1 million copies. The more platforms the better when it comes to live-service games like this one. 

4. Forza Horizon 5

At this point, why not? With Microsoft aiming to allow its games to be played everywhere, why not let the Nintendo player base enjoy a different racing game? Take a break from Mario Kart and dive into Forza Horizon 5 arguably the best game in the Forza Horizon series. 

Could the Switch 2 handle the power of Forza Horizon 5? That remains to be seen but could be possible. Microsoft should beat Sony to the punch by adding its premier racing franchise to Nintendo’s platform first.

This was a game that had already been reportedly planned to release on PS5

3.  Gears of War

Any Gears of War game would be a great addition to the Switch. It’s preferable to start with the first Gears of War title, but anything can happen. Adding a third-person shooter of this type would not be very kid-friendly but would provide a different taste on the platform than we are used to.

It could help the franchise gain more recognition especially if the Switch 2 does sell nearly 20 million units like they are expecting. 

2. Fallout 4

With Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, they now hold the rights to the Fallout series, including Fallout 4. The recent success of the Fallout TV series has significantly boosted the franchise’s popularity. Therefore, adding Fallout games to the Switch 2 will undoubtedly enhance its appeal.

Fallout 4 turns 10 years old in November 2025 and it’s one of the best-rated titles in the franchise

1. Halo: The Master Chief Collection

There is no other Xbox series that needs the Nintendo Switch 2 than Halo. Halo: The Master Chief Collection should without a doubt release on other consoles. That also includes Halo Infinite, but this allows new players to experience the early days of Halo. This would boost player numbers and add life to the game, which is available only on Xbox consoles and PC.

The Nintendo player base would likely appreciate Halo and Master Chief himself. It’s hard to say without it happening how much of an impact other consoles would have on Halo. However, Halo Studios, formerly 343 Industries, needs to make it happen. This could be Halo’s last hope.

When Halo: MCC first released in 2014 it was broken but Halo Studios worked years to make it work almost flawlessly over the last 5 years.
