Rumour: Sony to Put More First-Party PS5 Games on Xbox

Based on the announcement of an Xbox Series X|S version for Helldivers 2 and the discussion sparked by a Sony job listing hinting at multi-platform strategies, a trusted source asserts that there will be additional first-party PlayStation 5 games making their way to Xbox.

As a devoted fan, I excitedly share that NateTheHate, known for his trustworthy insights, tweeted last night: “Indeed, we can expect more Sony games on Xbox.” However, he clarified he currently lacks details about which particular PS5 titles will be transferred.

To illustrate my point, let me bring up LEGO Horizon Adventures. Frankly, I’m not in the know regarding its potential release on Xbox… However, assuming it does get released there, would it make much of a difference to anyone?

Last month, it was unexpectedly announced that Helldivers 2 would debut on the Xbox Series X|S consoles, coinciding with the arrival of Gears of War: Reloaded on PS5. More recently, a job posting by Sony has indicated they are seeking someone to develop and implement the global marketing strategy for PlayStation Studio’s software titles not only on PlayStation systems, but also on platforms such as Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, Nintendo, and mobile devices.

The speculation arose about whether Sony might adopt a near complete multi-platform approach similar to Microsoft, but such ideas were later dampened by an industry expert named Shinobi602, who stated that people are overly excited about the advertisement. With no official word from Sony, fans appear to believe that live-service games like Fairgames could suit Xbox, as well as smaller projects such as the rumored 2.5D God of War game.

The initial argument was triggered by a job posting looking for a candidate to improve the financial success of games on various platforms such as PS5, PS4, Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, Nintendo, and mobile devices. Additionally, this position would involve managing the mid-range business strategy for titles developed by PlayStation Studios on all non-PlayStation platforms, with the goal of boosting long-term income and expanding reach among audiences.

Based on information from NateTheHate, it appears that there are plans within Sony (PlayStation) to broaden their presence across multiple platforms, including Xbox, following the initial move of porting classic first-party games to PC and subsequently releasing the Horizon series on Nintendo Switch.
