 So I have an update to a rumor we reported on last week It was kind of this one-off mention by Jeff grub Jeff grub is a journalist for venture beat. He also does his Jeff grub's game mess show over on twitch And he has been pretty much right on anything that he quote-unquote leaks out there cuz he waits So he's got verification. He's got proper sourcing He'll even mention sometimes things that he's hearing But he's not really that confident in and this was something he was confident in was that in a Event that Phil Spencer did a little bit ago that everything on his back shelf meant something Specifically he was focused a lot on what the Death Stranding character in the back meant with the potential partnership between Kojima and and Microsoft but He also kind of one-off said even the switch means something, but he doesn't know what and that sprung a whole much of speculation Including in our video. Hey, are we gonna get game pass or are we getting x-cloud because x-cloud is now Heading to PC with a game pass and like there's there's a lot of stuff happening even some Apple devices now have have it in beta So like there's been a lot of stuff happening With game pass and all that well today today Things get a little bit crazier with potentially a little more confirmation information although nothing is Technically announced at this point although maybe at this point to borrow that changes Although I don't think we're gonna hear anything about it yet because an announcement like game pass and x-cloud Coming to switch would be a massive deal that I'm sure Microsoft would want to work directly with Nintendo to potentially announce and Microsoft and Nintendo are both presenting at E3 so it would feel like a really cool Gamer moment to announce it at E3. So I don't think we're gonna hear about it anytime soon If that is what this partnership is, you don't know. I mean it could be anything, you know We talked about how hey, maybe they're bringing banjo-kazooie back and they're bringing it to switch Maybe they're you know, because it's been a rumor old age-old rumor about rare replay coming to switch Who knows it doesn't necessarily have to be game pass or x-cloud But what has people all in a tizzy today is there's a current event going on for Microsoft and the switch is part of the event Let's get into this But first thing I tell you hey look we're giving away a hundred dollars cash money We all could use an extra hundred bucks. I could use an extra hundred bucks But you know what I'm giving that hundred bucks to one of you guys So if you would like to win head down to the pink on it or the description to enter Let's move on it is our giveaway from the month of April. So What's happening is Microsoft has their game stack live event going on today and tomorrow This event basically is a developer event. So it's open only to game developers And it's really talking about a bunch of different technologies going on behind the scenes And all that jazz and what happened during this event is In the background of the event as Tom Warren tweeted out Oh look We have more items in the background of a Microsoft event and you see an Xbox series s an Xbox You know series s slash X controller along with the game stack hat and an Xbox series X Of course, so you're seeing their current systems. But wait, what's that on the third shelf? Why is there a series s a series X and then a Nintendo switch? What a Nintendo switch is in the background next to Microsoft's things during a game Developer only event ran by Microsoft Ho ho ho, huh? Yeah, like the game stack event is crazy because it goes in the deep technical dives and demonstrations of new tools in middle Where you know You're gonna get new exciting things from gate for game pass subscribers and all that jazz Microsoft doesn't do this stuff by accident What's been clear about Phil Spencer's background because if you guys don't remember the series s was actually in the background of a video Before it was unveiled and literally nobody saw it Maybe maybe because of the way it was position people thought it was an Xbox one s which is also white So it was kind of a clever thing where he hid it in there But you know at first glance you didn't think anything of it What's interesting here is Microsoft is Intentionally putting switch in the background of their videos And we don't know what this means but when when you hear about it at a game developer only event That sort of indicates that this is Something that isn't just them putting rare replay on switch or something right like yes They might do that but also why would it be in the background of a game developer event if that's what they're talking I want to be in the background because hey your games on game pass can also be on switch through xCloud Who that we're talking massively about xCloud and game pass services at this event? So it's an event that focuses on a lot of these technologies and these technologies could potentially be coming to switch Here's a switch in the background. Have a good day. We're not actually going to talk about why the switch is in the background Until we're ready to make the announcement or until Nintendo and then we're ready to make the announcement Yeah, this is Just further like when you saw the switch in the background of Phil Spencer's video Jeff Grubbs said it means something That's something literally could have been anything we speculated it meant game pass we speculated it meant xCloud Specifically on switch But we also mentioned or at least I mentioned in that video that that might not be what it is There's a lot of different things it could be but in this case in this situation in the background of a Game developer event that is focused heavily on xCloud and game pass Yeah, that's kind of Narrows down the possibilities So again, we don't have any confirmation. We're not gonna get confirmation again I think the earliest we see is an announcement at E3 where we know Microsoft and Nintendo are both attending and it would be a really Really cool announcement to either cap off Nintendo's conference or cap off Microsoft's conference Or maybe it's just something they jointly announced together on stage. Maybe they bring sugar Miyamoto out on stage although, you know Probably should be Doug Bowser and Phil Spencer, but I don't know if they're gonna go that route They might just go with sugar Miyamoto. We'll see but it feels and again on stage. It's gonna be a pre-recorded thing But I do think it's something that should Happen, I don't really see a reason for game pass to not come to switch Pretty much none of the games on game pass are on switch Some of the ones that are like doom eternal and obviously all the Bethesda games now that Microsoft owns Bethesda I mean you could still buy them locally for your switch which some people are gonna prefer to play it anyways But hey, if you have your switch docked at home Specifically if you have your switch docked at home and you're using the ethernet dongle like why the hell not Play game pass like xCloud works XCloud works great. Imagine that you could play MLB the show 21 on your switch through xCloud through game pass Imagine that you could do that Yeah, you'd only get 1080p. Yeah, you'd only get 60 fps. Who cares? Who cares you're getting the full might of Microsoft's library on switch Yeah, it's game streaming. Yeah, you can't take it with you on the go. It's compromise But think about that that is just Insanity to me and that seems to be at least heavily what's being hinted here without actually using the words again Yes, which was just in the background of a whole bunch of stuff with Phil Spencer and it meant something Jeff grub didn't really know what Now it's in the background of a developer event right next right well right above Technically the Xbox series X and series s like literally it's there as if it's another Microsoft platform It might be another Microsoft platform for game pass so again you guys Let me know what you think about this down in the console Is this something you even want to see happen? Is this something you're excited by? If I found footage of the actual event, I'll throw it up in here Otherwise you got screenshot with gameplay. I will be back on camera soon re-organizing the things in my office the Shot use shots you've seen in the past with the TV in the background to me That's kind of what future videos are gonna be like. I'm they're not really changing that style I'm just reorganizing a few things and I can't get the camera in its proper spot But that'll be fixed up a bit later today. So my next video should be just me on camera like normal Otherwise folks, thank you guys so much for tuning in. Thanks for all your support.
