According to a reliable insider, the next PS5 versions of major Xbox series have been announced – and they include big brands!
It was one of the exciting things of the gaming year 2024: Microsoft has announced a new multiplatform strategy, as part of which first-party titles that were previously Xbox-exclusive will also come to competing platforms such as Switch and, above all, PlayStation 5. While at the start the focus was more on live service games and smaller titles, in the future large series will also be brought to these platforms – despite all the outcry in the Xbox community. It should start in 2025!
That Indiana Jones and the Great Circle It was already known that a new title would come to PlayStation 5 in spring 2025, relatively soon after the Xbox release in December 2024. According to an insider, additional titles have now been determined that will be implemented next for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
After it was already said in the rumor mill that… Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator two franchise heavyweights from Microsoft are supposed to create this year on PS5 and Switch 2, Jez Corden, who is well connected in Microsoft circles, is now following up. In a new report Windows Central This says that it is also an action hit Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Age of Mythology: Retold and the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition planned for a PS5 release in 2025. It's not yet entirely clear whether these games will make it onto the Switch 2, but according to Corden that will “most likely” happen.
The least big surprise is probably when it comes to Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, after all its predecessor was initially available exclusively on the PS4 in 2017. With Halo, Gears of War and Age of Mythology, large, genuine Microsoft exclusive series also make it onto the Sony console. Above all, the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition could then pave the way for a PS5 release of the new Gears of War: E-Day.
Microsoft will obviously intensify its multiplatform orientation significantly further in 2025.
Sounds almost absurd, but there is actually a trailer for Microsoft's now completed takeover of Activision Blizzard King.
