Listen to our podcast, One More Life!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Keep reading to find out why people are saying that Xbox games are coming to PlayStation and Nintendo, and to see what we think about the situation and whether Game Pass will launch on rival platforms or not.<\/p>\n While there have been rumours circulating for a while about Xbox games launching on PlayStation and Nintendo, they have picked up a lot of pace in early February 2024.<\/p>\n A couple of particularly believable reports have come from reliable sources indicating that several Xbox games will indeed be released on PS5 and Switch.<\/p>\n Reliable site XboxEra<\/a> has released a report suggesting that Starfield is going to be released on PS5 later this year.<\/p>\n According to XboxEra sources, Microsoft is \u201cplanning a launch for Starfield on PlayStation 5 post the release of the already announced Shattered Space expansion for Xbox and PC\u201d.<\/p>\n The report also explains that XboxEra has \u201cbeen informed that Microsoft has made additional investment into PlayStation 5 dev kits to support ongoing development efforts\u201d.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just Starfield that could come to the PS5, either. Rumours<\/a> are suggesting that Hi-Fi Rush is \u201ctentatively\u201d planned to release on PS5 and Nintendo Switch \u201cfor Q1 this year\u201d.<\/p>\n XboxEra expects \u201cMicrosoft to make a more public announcement\u201d on its new strategy \u201cthis month\u201d.<\/p> Corroborating XboxEra\u2019s report, The Verge<\/a> is reporting that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle could release on PS5 a few months after its initial launch on Xbox in late 2024.<\/p>\n As per The Verge: \u201cA new multi-platform approach for certain Xbox games is emerging inside Microsoft, we\u2019re told, with the company weighing up which titles will remain exclusive and others that will appear on Switch or PS5 in the future. Indiana Jones appears to be part of this new wave of multi-platform games.\u201d<\/p>\n There have been no recent rumours of Game Pass heading to PlayStation or Nintendo, however.<\/p>\n It seems Microsoft is heading down a different path, and will look to release individual games, decided on a title-by-title basis, on other platforms\u2026 as opposed to offering the whole Game Pass library elsewhere.<\/p>\n That is if all these rumours and leaks are to be believed.<\/p>\n There has been no official word from Microsoft on its plans to release its exclusive games on PlayStation and Nintendo, nor has there been official word on Game Pass launching on PS5 or Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n Without official word from the company, we cannot say for certain whether Xbox games will come to PlayStation and Nintendo or not.<\/p>\n Based on the latest batch of rumours coming from reliable sources, however, it does look likely that Xbox-exclusive games will launch on PS5 and Nintendo Switch<\/b>.<\/p>\n We think it\u2019s unlikely that Game Pass will launch on PlayStation and Nintendo<\/strong> for the moment, though.<\/p>\n We believe the new strategy from Microsoft will start with Hi-Fi Rush coming to Switch and PS5 soon, as per the reports. Sea of Thieves, Starfield and potentially Indiana Jones look like they will follow on PlayStation, too.<\/p>\n There have even been rumours<\/a> that Halo Infinite will release on PlayStation. That one seems more unlikely than the Bethesda and\/or Rare games, as Halo is the Xbox mascot and all that. Time will tell, though, time will tell.<\/p>\n For now, take every rumour with a hearty pinch of salt.
