Microsoft is planning to port nearly all of its biggest franchises to other consoles this year according to an insider, including Gears Of War.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer recently said there are no ‘red lines’ when it comes to the company’s multiplatform push, and it seems we’re about to see those words in action in 2025.

Over the past year, Xbox games like Sea Of Thieves, Grounded, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush have made their way to other consoles. Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, meanwhile, is set to come to PlayStation 5 this year, alongside other games from Microsoft-owned, including Doom: The Dark Ages and The Outer Worlds 2.

An insider recently claimed more Xbox games will launch on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 this year as well, including Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator. Rather than being debunked, another report claims Xbox has even more up its sleeve than that.

According to Windows Central, strategy title Age Of Mythology, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and ‘potentially’ Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition, along with the aforementioned titles, are all set to come to PlayStation 5 this year.

In regards to the latter three games, the report states it is ‘unsure’ if these are also planned for Nintendo Switch 2, but they speculate that they ‘most likely’ are.

If true, Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition, which is a remastered version of the 2006 original, is an interesting choice as it might rule out any chance of the rumoured Gears Of War remaster collection being released this year – unless that will be exclusive to Xbox.

Which Xbox games are coming to PS5 in 2025?

Putting the spotlight on Gears Of War’s origins makes sense though, considering the next mainline entry, Gears Of War: E-Day, is a prequel set 14 years beforehand – so it could act as a refresher for fans and an introduction for newcomers.

While Microsoft hasn’t officially announced these games are coming to other platforms, based on Spencer’s recent comments it seems like nothing is off the table; so it’s likely we could see Starfield and Forza Horizon 5 on other consoles eventually too.

As for when these could be announced, Microsoft’s now annual Developer Direct is set to take place on January 23, which will include Doom: The Dark Ages, South By Midnight, Clair Obscura: Expedition 33, and an unknown mystery game.

Some insiders have suggested that the event may be more significant than Microsoft is currently letting on, with more titles and announcements than initially implied.

At the very least, one brand new reveal has been promised, while there’s continued talk, from several different sources, of a The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster.
