Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Rumor: MS to release Xbox Gamepass and Published titles on Switch

Thanks Bowser.



Around the Network

this would be great if true



Another rumour coming out is suggesting that Halo/Forza might be coming to Switch as well, neither interests me personally, but big if true.



You have to look at the possible impact from this if it goes through as it could make Nintendo platforms perform even better in NA than they already do this would make it another region they perform the strongest in alongside Japan which would offset PS always being the strongest performer in Europe. MS on the other hand would gain access to a sizable userbase in Japan as a trade off for that.



- Nintendo and Microsoft had several meetings in Redmond regarding their upcoming partnership
- They confirm Ori and the Blind Forest will come on the Swith, but Cuphead as well
- More than 100 Xbox games will be available on Switch via Gamepass and/or X Cloud ( before the end of the year )
- Rare games could also come to the Switch. No details, but jeuxvideo.com believes Rare Replay could be a good candidate.
- No mention of Scalebound during their investigation
- Their sources refuses to say if Nintendo games could en up on Microsoft platforms
- A High profile Microsoft franchise ( Halo, Forza or Gears ) could come on the Nintendo Switch. However, they don’t know in what capacity ( 360 port ? Xbox One game ? ). This is still under discussion between Microsoft and Nintendo.

This sounds like real thing, also MS is here going above console gaming, they here start competing with Google and Amazon, like this article points.

I've been there for 2 years, not the most trustworthy source xD Especially since it seems to be riding off of Julien Chièze like any French gaming website would do. Hence why they uses "could" a lot.

Actually I heard when comes to Xbox they were quite realible because head of that site has great relationship with president of Microsoft France. They used could for two points from all those.



That's cute or whatever, as long as no Nintendo IPs ever end up on an Xbox console.



As long as my sub on xbox transfers to my switch im down.



people are delusional if they think Nintendo are going to release their shit on MS next console.what MS get out of this is having a much higher install base for gamepass. nintendo don't need to give them anything other than that

Pretty sure it will if it requires you to own Xbox Live in the first place.

I have xbl and gamepass. If it transfers to my switch then it would be pretty cool.
