The Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirms that Microsoft will support Switch 2 on a large scale. Corresponding insider reports had always existed.
In the run-up to the detailed presentation of the Switch 2, insider circles had repeatedly reported that Microsoft will support the new Nintendo console on a large scale. Again and again we talked that the company will be one of the largest third party supporters of the hardware. Only from Microsoft itself has there been no statement in this regard - until now.
In an interview with Variety, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has now accepted the topic and confirmed: Microsoft will indeed support Switch 2 and apparently also increase its own games on the ninetndo console. This will continue and expand the chosen multi-platform strategy around your own game brands, after example, for example, Indiana Jones and the large circle to the original release to the PS5.
Spencer, for example, let specific statements to be made about a Switch 2 release of the approaching remaster from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, but said: "We supported Switch 1, and I want to support Switch 2. Nintendo was always a great partner. We think that this is a unique way for us to achieve players who are not on the PC or on the Xbox. Allows us to enlarge the community that is concerned about our franchises - and that is really important for us to ensure further investments in our games. "
The Xbox boss also has a lot of praise for the Japanese, because he "has great belief in what Nintendo means for this industry", which is why the support will continue on the Switch 2. According to Spencer, bringing your own franchises to this platform is "an important part of our future".
