What Xbox exclusives are confirmed for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2?-Adam Starkey-Entertainment – Metro

Indy’s next adventure is heading to PlayStation(Bethesda)

As Microsoft continues to release Xbox games on other platforms, we look ahead to all the confirmed and rumoured titles for 2025.

Xbox’s multiplatform pivot may have large ramifications for the company’s future, but it is great news for anyone with a PlayStation 5 or Switch.

In recent years, we’ve already seen former Xbox exclusives like Ori And The Blind Forest, Ori And The Will Of The Wisps, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, Pentiment, and Sea Of Thieves make their way to other consoles, but that only looks set to escalate in 2025.

It’s all seemingly part of a larger goal to make Microsoft the biggest gaming publisher in the world, with the company’s acquisitions of Activision Blizzard and Bethesda only reinforcing its wider multiplatform shift.

As this transition continues, here’s a list of all the Xbox games which are confirmed and rumoured for other platforms in 2025 and beyond.

Xbox exclusives confirmed for PS5 in 2025

Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PS5 (Xbox Game Studios)

Indiana Jones And The Great Circle – spring 2025

Following its launch on Xbox Series X/S and PC in December last year, MachineGames’ take on Indiana Jones is set to arrive on PlayStation 5 in early 2025. At the time of writing, a release date has yet to be announced.

Forza Horizon 5 – spring 2025

Microsoft’s racing series is also heading to PlayStation 5 in spring 2025, four years after it debuted on Xbox and PC. A specific release date has yet to be announced but a Switch 2 port is also rumoured.

Doom: The Dark Ages – May 15, 2025

Now owned by Microsoft, following its acquisition of Bethesda, the prequel to 2016’s Doom will launch across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation 5 in May. Insider eXtas1s has claimed a Switch 2 port is also in the works – that’s not confirmed but both of the previous games were on the original Switch.

The Outer Worlds 2 – 2025

Developer Obsidian Entertainment, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2018, is set to launch the sequel to The Outer Worlds on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC this year.

Are Halo and Gears Of War coming to PS5 and Switch 2?

Halo

Reliable insider NateTheHate, who was key in outing Xbox’s renewed multiplatform plans last year, has claimed Halo: The Master Chief Collection is in the works for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. The collection includes the first four mainline Halo games, along with Halo 3: ODST’s campaign and prequel Halo: Reach.

A PlayStation 5 version of Halo Infinite is also apparently in the works, according to ‘sources’ at forum IconEra and there have been persistent rumours of a new remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

The same insider, NateTheHate, has claimed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will also head to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 this year. It was originally released on Xbox Series X/S and PC in November 2024.

Perfect Dark

Microsoft’s upcoming reboot of Perfect Dark is rumoured to be in the works for other consoles, based on a job listing at developer The Initiative. The listing refers to the ‘support’ of ‘multiple platforms’ as part of the job description.

Gears Of War

There are several rumours tied to the Gears Of War franchise. A port of Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition is ‘potentially’ coming to PlayStation 5 this year, according to Windows Central. This is a remastered version of the 2006 original.

However, insider eXtas1s has claimed a long-rumoured Gears Of War trilogy collection will be announced as a multiplatform release on day one, across Xbox Series X/S, PC and PlayStation 5. It’s unclear though when this announcement will be made, or if there will be a Switch 2 version.

Prequel E-Day doesn’t have a release date year, but may be out in 2025 or 2026. The later it arrives the more likely it is to be a multiformat title.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2

According to Windows Central, the divisive sequel to Hellblade is rumoured to be coming to PlayStation 5, following its release in May last year.

Age Of Mythology

Along with Gears Of War and Hellblade 2, the same source claims Age Of Mythology: Retold, a remastered version of the 2002 strategy game, is also heading to PlayStation 5 soon.

Starfield

Considering Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer didn’t rule it out when asked directly in an interview, Bethesda’s sci-fi role-playing game appears to be in the pipeline for a PlayStation 5 port as well. This has also been rumoured via Spanish games outlet Vandal.

Fable

According to sources at Vandal, a PlayStation 5 version of the upcoming Fable reboot from Playground Games is in development – although it’s unclear when it will be released. A Switch 2 version is also considered a possibility.

Killer Instinct

A port of fighting game Killer Instinct is also said to be in the works, according to sources at Vandal. It’s unclear though if this relates to the 2013 reboot, one of the older games in the series, or a brand new entry.

What other Xbox games could come to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2?

Is Avowed destined for PS5 eventually? (Xbox Game Studios)

Considering Microsoft has said there are no ‘red lines’ when it comes to bringing Xbox games to other platforms, it’s very likely we’ll see other Xbox exclusives ported to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo’s next console beyond those listed above in the future.

As for new games, there’s the likes of South Of Midnight, Avowed, State Of Decay 3, and Towerborne, which could be released on other platforms down the line. Probably the only reason they haven’t been announced so far is that they’re from smaller studios that would find it harder to work on multiple versions simultaneously.

The opportunity for a bigger audience might also lead to the return of some forgotten gems as well, like Halo Wars, Sunset Overdrive, and Gears Tactics.

If Microsoft digs particularly deep, classic franchises like Viva Piñata, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and Fuzion Frenzy could also be resurrected – although that is perhaps wishful thinking.
