A new report from Direct Feed Games states that Microsoft is currently planning on bringing their Netflix-like streaming service — Xbox Game Pass, to Nintendo’s portable hybrid console the Nintendo Switch.
This would be crazy news if it turns out to be true as it will allow not only a slew of awesome titles to be streamed on the Nintendo Switch but it the possibility of seeing Xbox exclusive’s on another platfrom would be insane. Imagine playing a title like Forza, Halo or even Cuphead on the Nintendo Switch?!
The Switch isn’t the most powerful machine in the market, however, Microsoft plans to make Xbox Game Pass a streaming service where players would not technically run the game on the Switch’s hardware, but rather use it as a streaming device to play “said” game.
Earlier this year, Microsoft detailed that something was coming at GDC 2019 with their new Project xCloud; but details about what was going to go on were still hazy. Read more about that story right here!
