The Nintendo Switch 2 is reportedly getting the best Xbox Series X exclusive game, and it could be a Switch 2 launch game.

There's still no release date for Nintendo's Switch 2 console and the launch lineup is a mystery, but one thing has been revealed: gamers can expect Xbox games to become available for it at some point.

Either way, Mariostro Strikers is still listed for sale if you're dying for another taste of Nintendo's frantic football spin-off. I know Nintendo Switch 2 might be getting some Xbox games, but I don't think this is how to get even. I doubt it'll be up for much longer anyway.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has confirmed that Xbox games will be available on Nintendo Switch 2 after it launches.

While this news is certainly welcome, it’s not exactly surprising. After all, former Xbox exclusives like Grounded, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and High-Fi Rush arrived on Nintendo Switch (and PS5) last year. Because of that, it makes sense that Xbox would continue its relationship with Nintendo for the latter’s upcoming console.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was announced recently, and Xbox boss Phil Spencer says he congratulated the company's president following the reveal. Speaking on GamerTagRadio, Spencer says he exchanged some emails with Shuntaro Furukawa and "gave him a big congrats and said my old eyes appreciate the larger screen.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer made it clear that Xbox plans to bring games to the Nintendo Switch 2 when it launches later this year.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer says he’s “really looking forward to supporting” Nintendo with the company’s Xbox games, a strong indication that more previously exclusive titles from Xbox Game Studios are bound for Nintendo Switch 2.
