- A content creator claimed that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 And Halo: The Master Chief Collection could come to Nintendo Switch 2
- A PS5 port would also be on the cards
- Although Microsoft has recently released games on other platforms, this seems unlikely.
A prominent Nintendo YouTuber suggested that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 And Halo: The Master Chief Collection could land on Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5 in the future.
This comes from content creator “NateTheHate,” who has accurately leaked a handful of game reveals in the past. Speaking on the “Nate the Hate Podcast”, they said they “heard” that “Flight Simulator (probably referring to the recently released game) Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, And Halo: The Master Chief Collection) will also come to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2.”
Yeah, it’s true
This wouldn’t be the first time that Microsoft has released games arriving on platforms outside of its Xbox and PC ecosystem. In addition to Xbox and PC, Penment, Sea of Thieves, Stranded, And Rush to Hi-Fi are all available on Nintendo Switch and PS5. Late last year, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer also said that Microsoft would release more Xbox games on other platforms and that there was no “red line” as to whether what they could be.
Even so, I wouldn’t put much stock in these claims. A Halo: The Master Chief Collection the port seems plausible, but I find it hard to believe that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 would also make the jump. A PS5 port could be considered, but I seriously doubt the Nintendo Switch 2 will have the hardware specs to support such an intensive title.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 pushes even the Xbox Series S to its absolute limits and requires hundreds of gigabytes of storage space to play. Even if the Nintendo Switch 2 could run the game at an acceptable level, I don’t think it will ship with enough storage capacity to even hold a full install, as Nintendo has managed to keep costs down by doing this.
Of course, Microsoft could always offer a fully streamed “cloud version” of the title, but that doesn’t seem likely given that it’s never taken this kind of approach before. We’ll just have to wait and see how Microsoft supports the console when it finally arrives.
