The announcement of Cuphead on the Switch helped fuel the flames of what has been a month of rumors and speculation of a partnership between Microsoft and Nintendo. With this happening, Microsoft brought up the topic at their GDC briefing today. The bad news is that there are no plans for an Xbox Live SDK on the Switch “right now”. The good news is that more Xbox Live-enabled games, such as Cuphead, can be expected “over the next year”. Here’s a tweet relaying the news:
