Ori and the Blind Forest is of course a Microsoft game previously exclusive to Xbox and Windows PC, but Xbox Game Studios is publishing it on Nintendo Switch for release on 27th September 2019.

It signals the continuation of Microsoft and Nintendo's current warm working relationship, and follows the announcement of Banjo-Kazooie as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the release of previous Xbox exclusive Cuphead on Switch.
