This is already a recurring question: ¿veremos a Xbox Game Pass en Nintendo Switch? The Apple vs Epic Games lawsuit may have given the strongest clue yet about the possibility of Xbox Game Pass or xCloud coming to the Nintendo hybrid. Axios’ Stephen Totilo shared lawsuit documents that Nintendo has largely hidden because they reflect sensitive competitive information about the negotiations between Nintendo and Microsoft.
The executive deposit discussed Microsoft’s plans to bring xCloud to iOSas well as the general console business as a whole. There is no way to know exactly what was said, but it would be interesting to know what negotiations the two companies participated in, and if this brings the possibility of seeing Xbox Game Pass on Nintendo Switch closer or if this has not even been mentioned in the end.

Totilo shared images of the documents written on Twitter. The images can be found in the Tweet. It’s worth noting that even if the redacted parts mention discussions about xCloud or Xbox Game Pass on Nintendo Switch, there is simply no way to know the status of those discussions. Comments may have been hidden because discussions are in progress or because an announcement was not made.

However, it is also possible that the plans did not materialize, and Nintendo could have withheld the comments to prevent the general public from seeing that there were discussions in the first place. Outside of the company’s hurdles to seeing Xbox Game Pass on Nintendo Switch, there are a number of glitches that would make it difficult. The platform would need a set of games specifically designed for Switch.

Regardless of what is revealed, it is clear that the strong relationship between Nintendo and Microsoft continues to grow. Where it could go from here remains to be seen!
