Phil Spencer claims Xbox releases on PS5 & Switch 2 remain a major part of its plans

As high-profile launches from Xbox Game Studios continue this season, they are finding their way to systems beyond Xbox and Windows hardware. Ninja Gaiden 4 was just published by Xbox and it launched on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on day one. It seems this will continue to be the norm, too, according to Phil Spencer, as PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 ecosystems remain part of its plans for gaming. Spencer shared as much in a recent interview with Famitsu this week. There, when asked about PS5 and Switch 2 in particular, Spencer spoke to very recent launches as examples of the group’s desire to keep pushing gaming, even on its competitors’ platforms: Xboxトップ フィル・スペンサー氏に“Xboxのつぎのコンソール”や小島監督の『OD』、『Halo』シリーズの今後など、気になるあれこれを聞いた【インタビュー】https://t.co/37h46J1pmu日本でのXboxのプレイ時間数はこの1年で20%ほど伸びている。PS5やSwitch2にも注力していく。 pic.twitter.com/JC81rx6TI1 — ファミ通.com (@famitsu) October 24, 2025 Indeed, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was a delight on Switch 2, pretty much every bit as good as it was on any other system by Editor-in-Chief Asif Khan and my accounts in our coverage of the game. Similarly, we reviewed Ninja Gaiden 4 on PlayStation 5, and despite some occasional visual glitches, I found it to be an incredibly exciting action release from Xbox Game Studios and Team Ninja. With that in mind, it seems Phil Spencer and the Xbox team also see more positives than negatives from releasing Xbox Game Studios software on PlayStation 5 and Switch 2. For more updates, stay tuned to the Xbox topic.
