Summary
- Two more games are rumoured to be coming to PS5 and Switch 2.
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator might be the next games to be ported as part of Xbox’s new strategy.
- If true, this would be the first Halo game to launch on a non-Xbox console.
For the first time in the series’ history, Halo might be playable on a console other than an Xbox. That is at least according to leaker and podcaster NateTheHate, who says that Halo: The Master Chief Collection is going to be ported to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
Alongside this history-making port, NateTheHate also says in this latest podcast that Microsoft Flight Simulator will launch on rival platforms (thanks, VGC). If true, this will be part of Microsoft’s ongoing reversal of its strategy to secure exclusives, as it’s now sharing much of its library with Sony and Nintendo’s platforms.
Xbox Is Reportedly Sharing Halo With Nintendo And Sony
Microsoft Flight Simulator will apparently be ported alongside Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Neither of these ports has been confirmed – and the Switch 2 itself hasn’t even been unveiled yet – but it would not be surprising given Xbox’s recent strategy when it comes to its exclusive titles. Ever since last year, we’ve been getting more ports of older releases, which eventually became new releases having their own PS5 ports confirmed before launch.
One of the most recent examples is The Outer Worlds 2. In a new trailer, it was revealed that it would be coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. We’re also going to get Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5 at some point this year.
Of course, none of these are as significant as Halo making its way onto another platform. If The Master Chief Collection really does get ported to PS5 and Switch 2, then it’s safe to assume that nothing is off the table when it comes to future ports.
Right now, both Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator are available exclusively on PC and Xbox.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection brings together six titles in the iconic FPS series from Microsoft, optimised for PC. All games have both single-player campaigns and multiplayer modes, as well as an improved form of the Forge map editor.
