Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has reacted to the Switch 2 announcement, saying the company wants to support the console and that Nintendo's announcement of the system doesn't make Microsoft nervous about its own next-gen plans.
Speaking to Variety, Spencer said Microsoft has already supported the original Switch through titles like Minecraft, Pentiment, and Grounded. And looking ahead, Spencer said, "I want to support Switch 2."
"Nintendo has been a great partner. We think it is a unique way for us to reach players who aren't PC players, who aren't players on Xbox. It lets us continue to grow our community of people that care about the franchises that we have, and that's really important for us to make sure we continue to invest in our games," he said.
Spencer added: "I'm really a big believer in what Nintendo means for this industry and us continuing to support them. And getting the support from them for our franchises, I think, is an important part of our future."
Microsoft has not announced any titles for Switch 2, but there have been reports about Halo and Hellblade coming to the console. Spencer has previously strongly indicated that Xbox games are coming to Switch 2. One likely candidate, just to start with, would be Minecraft, given that game's size and scale.
Also in the interview, Spencer was asked if Nintendo unveiling the Switch 2 makes Microsoft "antsy to announce" plans for the next Xbox. Spencer replied, "No."
"I think all of us in this industry should focus on our communities and the player base that we're building. I get inspired by what a lot of different creators do and other platform holders. But I believe in the plans that we have," he said. "Obviously, we're evolving what it means to be Xbox and meeting players in so many different places. There are 3 billion people who play video games on the planet and I get up every morning and think about how Xbox can be more relevant to the 3 billion people who play."
The Switch 2 launches on June 5. As for Microsoft's plans for the future, the company is reportedly planning to launch a new Xbox console and a handheld device. There is no word yet, however, on when a new Xbox might be released.
