New Sony Report Gives Update on Single-Player PS5 Exclusive Games Coming to Xbox

by

In simpler terms, Microsoft recently revealed their intention to produce less games exclusive to the Xbox console in the future. On the other hand, a number of upcoming games are set to be exclusive to the PS5 at launch. This situation might cause disappointment among Xbox gamers who’ve invested in the Xbox system. Since consoles can be expensive and many individuals own either an Xbox or PlayStation but not both, this shift could lead fans to question whether Sony will make more of their popular single-player games available on Xbox as well.

Over the last several years, PlayStation 5 (PS5) users have been treated to some significant exclusive titles. These include games like “Death Stranding 2,” “Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth,” and “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2,” among others. With more highly anticipated Insomniac games, such as “Marvel’s Wolverine,” in development, Xbox players might be wondering if Sony will relax its policy of exclusive PS5 launches. Regrettably, a recent industry report hints that this may not happen.

From Sony’s perspective, the Xbox platform is gradually losing its significance, though it still exists. It no longer carries enough weight to be considered in their premium content strategies.

Regarding the PS5’s flagship single-player AAA games, there are currently no plans for them to appear on Xbox. However, when it comes to live service games, the situation is different as they are designed with a broad audience in mind rather than prestige.

Information about the latest development has been shared by Millie Amand, a video game industry insider known for her mixed reliability. Although she didn’t provide a specific source, Amand indicated that Sony does not consider Xbox in its strategies for “premium content.” Furthermore, she asserted that it is unlikely that PS5’s major single-player games will be available on Xbox anytime soon.

Xbox Players May Keep Missing Out on PS5 Favorites

Amand’s comments suggest that Xbox owners might not get major AAA games on release day as easily in the future. However, it’s important to note a few exceptions. As Amand points out, live service games appear to be an exception. For instance, Sony unveiled plans for “Helldivers 2” to be available on Xbox, expanding the popular multiplayer game to another platform. Similarly, “Final Fantasy 16” also arrived on Xbox earlier this year. This news has given Xbox users reason to hope for more games that were previously exclusive, such as the critically-acclaimed “Marvel’s Spider-Man,” making an appearance on their platform.

If the most recent information proves true, it seems Sony might release its multiplayer-centric games onto Xbox platforms, while holding back its single-player-focused AAA titles. This implies that forthcoming series like the upcoming Insomniac Marvel games could remain exclusive to PS5, and even older games may not be ported over.

It’s also crucial to remember that games like Final Fantasy, even though they are initially exclusive to certain consoles (in this case, not owned by Sony), often become available on other platforms after a specified duration, as demonstrated by the announcement of Final Fantasy Remake Integrade for the Xbox Series X|S. The key difference lies in the games that Sony directly publishes.

It appears that Sony intends to continue offering its major AAA games exclusively on their own console, at least in the short term. However, when it comes to multiplayer and live service games, Xbox users might not be completely left out. As Sony unveils more of their first-party titles, we’ll have a clearer idea about whether this report accurately reflects the future of PS5 console exclusives being available on Xbox.
