The Verge has published a report this evening stating that Microsoft’s new Project Latitude, which is the internal name for bringing more of its Xbox and PC games to rival platforms, is rolling full steam ahead. The site reports that Microsoft is looking to “bring more games to rival consoles like the PS5 and Nintendo Switch” though it’s unclear what these games are and whether they would be aiming for the next Nintendo console, which is rumoured for early next year, rather than the current Switch console. Here’s the details:
“At the heart of all the turmoil leading up to this Xbox showcase are strategy shifts for both hardware and first-party games. Microsoft has promised a big technical leap for its next-gen Xbox, and the company is rumored to be working on an Xbox handheld. But there’s an ongoing project to bring more games to rival consoles like the PS5 and Nintendo Switch that could undermine both hardware efforts.”
“The plan that’s proven so controversial with hardcore Xbox fans is known internally as “Project Latitude,” sources familiar with Microsoft’s efforts tell me. Project Latitude started off with an initial wave of games, including Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded, heading to the PS5, with some going to the Nintendo Switch, but the plan extends beyond these four games and into some titles that might surprise Xbox fans.”
