Report Names First Two Xbox Exclusives Planned For Release On PS5
After a report last week suggested Xbox could be looking into releasing its first-party games–traditionally exclusive to Xbox consoles–on rival consoles like the PS5 and Nintendo Switch, a subsequent report suggests the first two such games in line for a broader release have already been chosen.
A report from The Verge cites sources familiar with Microsoft’s strategy, who claim Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment are the first Xbox games destined for release on a rival console. Sea of Thieves, Xbox’s online multiplayer pirate adventure may also be in line for a wider release sometime this year.
While the titles above are the only ones reported with more definitive timelines, other titles said to be in line for a release on non-Xbox consoles include Bethesda’s 2023 epic Starfield, and the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle–though the latter would get at least a short period of exclusivity on Xbox. A seperate report suggested one of Xbox’s classic exclusives, Gears of War, may also be in line to end up on other consoles.
