For now, it is only a rumor, but according to the French website Jeux Vidéo, Microsoft really has plans to bring Xbox Live to mobile devices and Nintendo Switch. According to the report, the presentation in which details about this "cross-platform" plan would be shown to the public will take place at an event between March 18 and 22, 2019.
If that were not curious enough, the same source said that Microsoft is also very interested in porting its games to Nintendo’s competing console, and that Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice would already be the beginning of this new phase for the company. For those who do not know, Microsoft bought Ninja Theory, the studio that developed Hellblade, and the game has nevertheless already been announced for release on Switch soon.
According to the source, other games would already be scheduled to launch on Nintendo’s hybrid console in the coming months, including Cuphead and Ori and the Blind Forest. It was also said on that occasion that the presence of Xbox’s main franchises, such as Forza, Halo and Gears of War, could not be ruled out.
Unfortunately, none of this has been officially confirmed by Nintendo or Microsoft, but we will keep an eye out for more information about these controversial rumors.
