PS5 Is Getting Another Xbox Console Exclusive Game After Three Year Wait

The upcoming month will see another exclusive Xbox game making its way onto the PS5. This game, which hasn’t been accessible on any console other than Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X for the past three years, has led some to believe it might remain exclusive to Xbox consoles indefinitely. However, it’s important to note that this game isn’t published by Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, or Activision, making its exclusivity a bit of a mystery. It’s likely that some sort of agreement was made between the game’s publisher and Xbox, although the details have never been disclosed. Regardless, starting September 2, both PS4 and PS5 users will be able to play this game. As of now, it can be wishlisted on the PlayStation Store, but the price is yet to be announced. Given that it costs $18.99 on other platforms, it’s reasonable to expect a similar pricing for PS4 and PS5 versions.

The game port in question mirrors a series of Xbox game ports for the PS5. It’s set to debut following Xbox’s highly anticipated release of Gears of War: Reloaded on August 26, 2025, which will also be available on the PS5 at launch. However, it’s important to note that the Xbox console-exclusive game arriving on the PlayStation Store on September 2 isn’t particularly notable for users of the PS4, PS5, or PS5 Pro.

The game under discussion is called Lapin, developed by Studio Doodal and published by Flux Games. For those unaware, it’s a side-scrolling platformer that was officially launched in 2023, although it had been available in early access form since 2022. On Steam, the game has gained significant popularity with users, as shown by its 93% positive rating. However, on Xbox, the reception among players has been less enthusiastic, reflected in its 3 out of 5 stars on the Microsoft Store.

The game Lapin is a 2D platformer that centers around a band of intrepid rabbit explorers, set to arrive on PlayStation. Guide your characters through perilous challenges with finesse using precise controls, as they navigate an exciting journey brimming with fresh experiences and breathtaking vistas! The rabbits who dwelled beneath a park find themselves displaced due to renovations. Leading the way is Liebe, a charming white rabbit, along with Captain, Bianca, Jose, and Montblanc. Where will this quintet of rabbits’ story lead them? Embark on this extraordinary journey with them, filled with new companions, dangerous threats for rabbits, and stunning landscapes!

Players using PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5, or any potential PS5 Pro should look forward to trying out Lapin when it debuts on the PlayStation Store next month. The gameplay duration varies, with completion taking anywhere between 6 hours and 14 hours, depending on how thoroughly you want to experience it. In simpler terms, you can finish the game in six hours, but for a complete exploration and achievement of all aspects, you’ll need around twice that time, approximately 10 hours.
