It’s a new year and sure enough new rumours are already popping up about what games could be made available to Nintendo users in the future.
The latest story doing the rounds suggests a Microsoft game “met with high critical acclaim” and well-received by fans will be released on a “competitor system” in the calendar year of 2024. This claim comes from the host of the ‘Nate the Hate Podcast’, who goes on to mention how the same title was in the “game of the year conversation” during the year of its release.
“In the calender year of 2024, Microsoft will bring one of their more acclaimed first-party releases to a competitor system…When the announcement comes, I think it’s going to be met with a lot of excitement, because this is a quality game.”
The source uses Obsidian’s narrative adventure Pentiment as an example of how Xbox has done everything it can with select games within its ecosystem, and the next steps are to bring these titles to other platforms to help build an audience for possible sequels exclusive to Microsoft devices.
Some conversation elsewhere online suggests the exclusive could be Tango Gameworks’ rhythm-based action title Hi-Fi RUSH, which was shadow-dropped on the Xbox early last year and nominated for multiple game of year awards. A user on ResetEra, known for sharing past Xbox-related leaks, has also supposedly supported the idea of it being this particular game. Of course, there could be other games that fit the description, and nothing is official right now.
Over the past year, Xbox reiterated its commitment to other platforms, including an agreement to bring Call of Duty games to Nintendo systems going forward. Microsoft has also worked with Nintendo to bring games like GoldenEye 007 to the Switch.
