SUMMARY
  • PlayStation and Xbox have been sharing exclusive games, despite their decades of rivalry in the console market.
  • A few Xbox-exclusive titles have already made their way to PlayStation 5 and more will do the same in the future, hopefully.
  • After Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was announced to come on PS5, players are excited about getting more renowned Xbox-exclusive titles.

With the growing competition in the world of PC and console games, all the developers are trying to expand the fanbase of their renowned titles. Even console companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have participated in this trend to widen their fanbase. As a consequence, a lot of games are losing their exclusivity and becoming available on every other platform for a large range of players to experience them.

Sony and Microsoft have captured the console market for decades, and these two rival companies never really spare each other on anything. However, the growing competition has impacted their rivalry as well, and according to a new strategy, Microsoft will release a few Xbox-exclusive games on PlayStation 5. 

This strategy has already been implemented as Grounded, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush made their way to PlayStation 5. Additionally, Gamescom 2024 revealed that the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will also be released on PS5. Therefore, it’s high time to speculate which Xbox exclusives will follow this path in the future.

5. Warhammer 40K: Darktide

Warhammer 40K: Darktide could someday make its way to PlayStation 5.

Recently, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 has created sky-touching hype among gamers, irrespective of which platform they are planning to play it on. Though, in this context, players have been mentioning the 2011 prequel of the game, there’s another Warhammer 40K title that hasn’t yet been released on PlayStation 5. 

The most interesting part of this game is that players aren’t Space Marines here. Instead, they become a group of convicts who are tasked with completing missions on Atoma Prime. If Space Marine 2 performs well on PS5, there’s a huge chance that Xbox may bring Darktide to PlayStation in the future.

4. Gears of War: E-Day

Gears of War: E-Day hasn’t yet got any official release date, but it’s highly possible that this game will be released on PS5.

Another highly anticipated game announced this year is Gears of War: E-Day. This game, set 14 years before the events of the original title, will take players to a peaceful world before the Locust attack. Though the official release date for the game hasn’t yet been announced, it is assumed that players will get it toward the end of 2025. 

Currently, this game is set to be released on Xbox Series X/S and PC. However, the amount of hype this game has already created, even among PlayStation players, is not a joke. Therefore, this game can be released on PlayStation 5 as well, just like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

3. Fable 2

Fable 2 was one of the most successful RPGs to ever come on Xbox, but this game can also come to PlayStation to give its popularity a further boost.

Fable 2 is a 2008 action RPG exclusively available on Xbox 360. Now, if we talk about some classic RPGs ever released, Fable 2 will definitely be on the list, but unfortunately, many players, especially new-generation players, never got the chance to experience the adventure. This game is thrilling, intense, and interesting, as every in-game decision and activity takes you to different consequences. 

Now, if Microsoft wants to give this classic RPG a new life, it’s the best time not only to bring the game to Xbox X and S, but it can also consider bringing it to PlayStation 5 to further widen its player base. 

2. Forza Horizon 5

Among the most popular racing games, Forza Horizon 5 is at the top, and PlayStation players have been demanding this game for a long time.

Microsoft’s Forza is one of the finest car racing gaming series ever made. Though almost all the installments of this series are successful, Forza Horizon 5 has surpassed most of them in popularity. Released in 2021, this installment has taken the racing game series to a new height. However, currently, it is Microsoft’s exclusive game that only Xbox and PC players can access.

However, even PS5 players are willing to give this game a try, and as the trend follows, there’s a high probability that Forza Horizon 5 will someday follow Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush.

1. Starfield

Starfield has disappointed Xbox players, but still, PS5 gamers are willing to experience this game.

The final entry on this list must be Starfield. Though this is one of the disappointing RPGs made by Bethesda, this game has captured a wide range of gamers, and even PlayStation players are eager to try out this space RPG. Of course, the game will have more players grinding it if it is on PlayStation. 

Until now, Microsoft has stated nothing about bringing this game to PS5, but in the future, there’s a high possibility that this game will come on PlayStation 5, as Microsoft is bringing its popular titles to the rival console to enhance the player base of the games. 

Several other games may come to PlayStation 5 in the future, but these above-mentioned titles are the most anticipated ones that PlayStation players have been demanding for a long time, but Microsoft hasn’t yet considered them. 

However, if you are interested in every gaming genre, you must check out the Call of Duty Easter eggs that you may have missed.
