Microsoft has announced that four Xbox-exclusive games will be coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch1. This is part of a broader strategy shift inside Microsoft’s gaming business to grow games beyond just the company’s Xbox consoles.
The four games that are reportedly making the jump to other platforms are Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded. The exact release dates and which console each title is being ported to have not been officially announced yet. This move is seen as a strategy to grow certain Xbox titles beyond Xbox platforms and help them find new audiences

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that it will not be releasing PS5 exclusives from any major existing IPs before March 2025. This means that we will not see any new games from franchises like Marvel’s Spider-Man, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and other triple-A IPs during this period2.
Sony Group president Hiroki Totoki stated that there are no plans “to release any new major existing franchise titles next fiscal year”, i.e., between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 20253. This does not eliminate the likelihood of PS5 exclusives entirely, it just means you’re unlikely to see a new Ghost of Tsushima or The Last of Us in the next 12 months and a bit.
As a result of this decision, the company expects a decrease in software sales as well as a “slight decrease” in first-party software profit1. However, Sony is committed to producing “high quality” PS5 exclusives and live service games4. This is seen as a strategic move by Sony to focus on the quality of their games rather than the quantity.
