Rumor: Halo: MCC and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Headed to PS5 and Switch 2 in 2025

A recent report from industry insider NateTheHate suggests that Halo: The Master Chief Collection is slated for release on PlayStation 5 and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The same source claims a 2025 launch window for this six-game compilation. This follows Microsoft's February 2024 initiative to broaden the availability of its first-party titles to other consoles. Previous examples include Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, and Sea of Thieves, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny also joining the multi-platform lineup.

Microsoft Flight Simulator's Potential Multi-Platform Future

NateTheHate also indicated a potential multi-platform release for a Microsoft Flight Simulator title, likely Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which launched November 19th, also targeting a 2025 release on PS5 and Switch 2.

More Xbox Games to Go Multi-Platform in 2025

This information is supported by Jez Corden, another reputable leaker, who tweeted that significantly more Xbox games will be released on PS5 and Switch 2 in 2025. Corden has consistently predicted the end of the era of exclusive Xbox titles.

The future multi-platform releases also include the Call of Duty franchise. Microsoft's ten-year agreement with Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo consoles, announced in late 2022, is likely awaiting the release of the more powerful Switch 2 to fully realize its potential. This is because the current Switch hardware may struggle with the graphical demands of a modern Call of Duty title.
