Rumors suggest that Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 are slated for release on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025. This follows Microsoft's recent initiative to expand its first-party titles to other consoles, beginning in February 2024 with titles like Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, and Sea of Thieves. As Dusk Falls, while not a Microsoft-developed title, also joined this multi-platform lineup due to its initial Xbox exclusivity. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launched on non-Xbox platforms in October 2024, with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle expected on PS5 in Spring 2025.
Industry insider NateTheHate reported hearing that Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be ported to both PS5 and Switch 2 in 2025. He also indicated a similar fate for Microsoft Flight Simulator, likely referring to the recently released MFS 2024.
This multi-platform expansion is further supported by leaker Jez Corden, who tweeted that significantly more Xbox games will be released on PS5 and Switch 2 in 2025, suggesting an end to the era of exclusive Xbox titles. The ten-year agreement between Microsoft and Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo consoles also points to a broader shift in Microsoft's gaming strategy, likely awaiting the release of the more powerful Switch 2.
