PS5 Is Getting Another Big Xbox Exclusive Next Week, Report Claims

PlayStation 5 users may be in luck as a recent report claims that Microsoft is planning to announce another round of Xbox ports in the near future. In a move that stunned the industry at the beginning of 2024, Microsoft revealed that it was bringing some of its best-reviewed games over to competing hardware; Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves came to PS5 alongside Grounded and Pentiment which also crossed over to Nintendo Switch. The decision rocked the community as many expressed doubt about the strategy but it seems those concerns may not have been enough to stop further ports.

Per XboxEra, a new report from reputable leaker Shinobi claims that Microsoft will unveil a PlayStation 5 port of a major Xbox title in the next week. While there’s no word yet on which game is making the transition, rumors claiming that it’s Forza 5 have been refuted by multiple insiders, leading to a great deal of speculation. It’s worth noting that until Microsoft makes an official announcement this should all be taken with a grain of salt, but multiple accounts from different sources claiming that the report is valid is no doubt enough to raise some eyebrows.

Could Master Chief Really Do Such A Thing?

While the previous round of Xbox ports featured some of the company’s most highly-regarded titles, most would agree that they weren’t the iconic franchises associated with the brand. This makes sense given that Microsoft treated the first wave as an “experiment,” one that eventually paid off given the massive spike in numbers Sea of Thieves experienced shortly after its PlayStation 5 release. With that kind of success, it’s not difficult to imagine an even more popular Xbox game arriving on Sony’s hardware.
