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 is "evolving" and as part of its new strategy, it's now releasing major first-party IP on other platforms. Now, ahead of the 'Switch 2 Direct' this April, Microsoft's gaming division has announced it's bringing its popular open-world arcade racer Forza Horizon 5 to the PS5 this Spring.

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.

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.

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.
