Rumor: Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Headed to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025

A recent report from industry insider NateTheHate suggests that Halo: The Master Chief Collection is slated for release on both the PlayStation 5 and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The same source indicates a potential 2025 launch window for these versions. This follows Microsoft's February 2024 initiative to expand the availability of its first-party titles to non-Xbox platforms. Previous titles released on multiple platforms include Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, and Sea of Thieves, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny also joining the multi-platform lineup.

The report further claims that Microsoft Flight Simulator, potentially referring to the recently released MFS 2024, is also being considered for a PS5 and Switch 2 release in 2025.

More Xbox Games to Go Multi-Platform in 2025

This information is supported by another prominent leaker, Jez Corden, who tweeted that significantly more Xbox games are destined for PS5 and Switch 2. Corden has consistently stated his belief that the era of exclusive Xbox titles is concluding.

The future multi-platform release of Call of Duty is virtually guaranteed, following Microsoft's ten-year agreement with Nintendo to bring the franchise to Nintendo consoles. The absence of Switch titles to date may be attributed to Microsoft awaiting the release of the more powerful Switch 2, better equipped to handle the graphical demands of modern Call of Duty games.
