It seems Microsoft is really pushing the ‘Xbox Is Everything’ angle hard– even if it means releasing system sellers on rivals’ platforms. According to trusted insider NateDrake, Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Flight Simulator are rumored to be heading to PS5 and the upcoming Switch 2. Despite rumors about Xbox not exiting the console games business, PS5 and Switch 2 ports would signal a shift from plain production to building ecosystems.
While sharing his 2025 predictions, NateDrake also touched on some rumors he has been hearing about the green team’s position in the industry. “I suspect Oblivion [Remake] is a multiplatform release, no reason to doubt that,” he said. “[Microsoft] Flight Simulator will come to PS5 and Switch 2, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection will come to PS5 and Switch 2 as well.”
NateDrake then continues, hinting at a broader push by Microsoft to support Nintendo’s new console. Smaller titles, but no less important to the Xbox image, could be ported to the portable console with ‘potential enhancements.’
“Microsoft will be a big supporter of Switch 2,” he explained. “Games like Grounded, Pentiment, the Ori games will eventually make their way to Switch, [to] be patched for 4K support.” But it doesn’t stop there; Hi-Fi Rush, which was recently acquired by PUBG‘s Krafton, and Sea of Thieves are not out of the bag either.
While these aren’t confirmed yet, he advised fans, “Expect a lot of [Microsoft] games on Switch 2 and PS5 moving forward.” For more details on NateDrake’s insight, check out his video below starting at the 53:37 mark.
While this news could devastate Xbox die-hard fans, the signs are always there whether we like it or not. In the seventh generation, Xbox 360 was able to take the console race lead until it was overtaken by the Wii. Afterward, Microsoft’s platform barely managed to keep up.
The PS4 overtook Xbox One’s sales by 2.5 times, while the PS5 is estimated to have sold 3 times as much as Series X. In late 2023, the Halo IP owner even stopped reporting console sales because it ‘doesn’t show the overall picture’.
For now, fans are left waiting for official announcements of these Xbox games port on PS5 and Switch 2. But if NateDrake’s track record is anything to go by, it’s best to stop betting on green starting this year.
