Apparently, Microsoft is preparing to announce a deal with Nintendo that one would not expect.
ΣAccording to information from the channel Direct Feed Games, Microsoft is currently developing its subscription service, Xbox Games Pass, for the Nintendo Switch.
The service will be based solely on Microsoft's xCloud game streaming tech, which will allow the Switch to stream Xbox One games through an application.
The Xbox Games Pass has so far targeted Xbox One and PC users, who can download the 100+ (currently over 200) and play freely whoever they want for as long as their subscription lasts. The Switch service, however, looks set to be combined with Microsoft streaming technology.
The Nintendo Switch alone does not have the hardware to run many of the Xbox One games. The solution to this is game streaming. There have already been two instances of games running this way on the Switch in Japan: Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Game streaming is the future of gaming, as fast connections will be the only technical prerequisite you will need to play any game in its best form (with the highest settings), without having a high-end PC. The situation is similar with Switch and Microsoft, if the information is verified.
GameInformer, a reputable site in the area, confirms the same data from its own sources, adding that some announcement will be made later in the year.
In addition, they report that Microsoft intends to bring some of its own games to the Switch (not streaming, but in the conventional way), such as Ori and the Blind Forest. Something similar has happened in the past with the release of Minecraft.
If the above is verified, we move on to a new reality for gaming and perhaps for the end of consoles as we know them.
