5 titles are scheduled appear on PlayStation in 2025
Platform-exclusive games have long been standard in the gaming industry. Microsoft in particular is now bringing more and more of its titles that were previously only available for the Xbox to the PlayStation. This year there will be five prominent new additions to Sony’s console.
Exclusive title as a discontinued model
Ever since video game consoles have existed, there has also been platform exclusivity. Some games and sometimes even entire game series are only available on a specific console. Famous examples include The Last of Us for the PlayStation or the Fable series on the Xbox.
For some time now, Microsoft has been loosening the boundaries of its own range of games and is planning to release more and more previously Xbox-exclusive titles on Sony’s console. In 2025, in addition to the already announced Indiana Jones and the Big Circle, five more blockbusters from the Redmond-based game catalog will also be released for the PlayStation.
Halo and Gears of War on PlayStation
Das reports as one of several sources Windows Central. Above all, the Xbox flagship Halo: The Master Chief Collection is to be made available to PlayStation players. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is also likely to take off and land on the Sony platform. In addition, Hellblade 2, Age of Mythology: Retold and possibly Gears of War: Ultimate Edition are also set to lose their Xbox exclusivity.
After Halo, Gears of War in particular would be another game from a famous Xbox series that would push the former boundaries. So far, however, there has been no official announcement from Microsoft or Sony about a platform jump for any of the games mentioned.
Not a one-way street
Final Fantasy 7: Remake shows that things sometimes go in the other direction. After a long wait, the role-playing game will finally appear for the Xbox in 2025. Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth could follow in 2026. In keeping with this, developer Square Enix announced a new multi-platform strategy in May last year.
The traditional Japanese company would like to offer its games on more platforms in the future and end its de facto Sony exclusivity. In addition to the studios, who expect higher income, the winners of this development are, above all, the players. You get access to more different games regardless of your hardware.
Microsoft, among others, is showing what awaits gamers in 2025 at its Developer Direct for the Xbox, which was announced for the end of January. There will also be news about Doom: The Dark Ages to see there. Sony, on the other hand, is planning a retro offensive.
