The story of Sony for 30 years – which marks the month of December since the launch of PSX – is the story of a company that has always been clear that a differentiating element of its offering in PlayStation This comes from exclusive games, from own franchises that could be generated so that they alone, in one way or another, become the main reason when choosing between them and Xbox.
And the proof is that when he considered making a certain expansion movement, each time he did it, he systematically forgot Microsoft and its consoles, leaving only the PC as an alternative. Thus the idea that a character, a saga or a franchise that only the Japanese have exploited on their desktop machines ends up in a Xbox It's an idea that may seem impossible to many.
A PlayStation exclusive could come to Xbox
But the fact is that in recent hours rumors have circulated around a possible transfer of an exclusive saga of PlayStation on desktop consoles that could reach Xbox. And we are talking about LEGO Horizon Adventuresthis foray into the world of Aloy construction tokens which arrived a few months ago on PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch, which we do not count here as a machine that could resemble an Xbox.
This game, as you will remember, is a sort of recreation of the Guerrilla franchise games but in a humorous way, which is how the LEGO formula is traditionally taken from any translation of a film saga, comic book or other in which will be based It is therefore a type of video game which has its audience, increasingly older because they grew up with the genius of TT Games, but which focuses a lot on the players smaller.
After all Sony has a particular interest in creating a user pool of PlayStation and this move on Nintendo Switch LEGO Horizon Adventures This is entirely consistent with giving new generations the opportunity to later join its ecosystem each time one of its machines is released. Something that will not cost you much if you continue the progression of sales with the PS5, currently tripling and quadrupling the figures obtained by North Americans with Xbox.
When would the game come to Xbox Series X|S?
The leak confirmed that LEGO Horizon Adventures could arrive at the beginning of 2025, even if for the moment since Sony did not announce anything. Contrary to Microsoft with his Indiana Jones and the Great Circle As an Xbox exclusive, the Japanese haven't released a word and we fear they won't until the current campaign is over. Something that will avoid headaches and give competitors hope of profiting from one of their sagas.
The same between Microsoft's intentions to offer more games on PlayStation and with this decision by Sony, we are seeing more and more frequent transfer of exclusive games in the future. Overall, everyone could win by expanding their potential markets…and their revenues. No?
