Rumor: Halo: Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator 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 both the PlayStation 5 and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The same source indicates a 2025 launch window for these new versions of the six-game compilation. This follows Microsoft's February 2024 initiative to bring more first-party titles to other consoles, a list already including Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, Sea of Thieves, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. As Dusk Falls and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny are also considered part of this multi-platform expansion, with the latter launching on PS5 in Spring 2025.
NateTheHate further claims that Microsoft Flight Simulator, likely referring to the recently released MFS 2024, is also destined for PS5 and Switch 2 sometime in 2025.
This isn't an isolated claim. Renowned leaker Jez Corden tweeted that significantly more Xbox titles will be making the jump to PS5 and Switch 2 in 2025, suggesting an end to the era of exclusive Xbox titles. This aligns with Microsoft's ten-year commitment to bringing Call of Duty to Nintendo consoles, a deal likely awaiting the release of the more powerful Switch 2 to fully leverage the game's capabilities.
The potential arrival of Halo and Microsoft Flight Simulator on competing platforms represents a significant shift in Microsoft's gaming strategy, further emphasizing their commitment to a more multi-platform future. However, it's crucial to remember that this information remains unconfirmed rumor until officially announced by Microsoft.
