Xbox Preparing to Announce More PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 Ports

Microsoft Expands Game Lineup on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 with Starfield, Hi-Fi Rush, and More

Chris Dring of The Game Business has reported that Microsoft is expected to announce more games for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. This expansion is driven by the significant success of Forza Horizon 5 on PS5, which ranked as the 11th bestselling game in the U.S. in 2025 and was a top global seller. Dring did not name specific titles but expressed confidence that additional Xbox Game Studios games are slated for these platforms. However, other sources have hinted at potential releases. For instance, various unofficial sources have linked Starfield to the PS5, with a potential announcement at Gamescom and a release planned for 2025. Microsoft is also expected to support the Nintendo Switch 2, consistent with Phil Spencer’s earlier promise. Titles such as Hi-Fi Rush and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle are possibilities, with confirmation expected in the coming weeks.
