It seems like nothing is sacred after all, with arguably the greatest game Xbox Games Studios' ever published, the immaculate Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, seemingly set to charge forth on PS5. More specifically, it seems the game is currently being played on PS5, which lines up with earlier reporting from The Verge's Tom Warren.
Over on the always-thrilling GamingLeaksandRumours subreddit, an image of PSN users in an AoE2 lobby has caused a stir amongst normally placid armchair generals. Of course, it seems like most of the Xbox back catalogue will eventually come over as we enter this strange new age, and Tom Warren (who is considered a Tier 2 — Generally Reliable Source) had previously reported that the iconic strategy series (which changed the life of this humble scribe, introduced via cereal promotion) would be coming to PS5.
Warren said around the time of his original reporting, almost six months ago: «As part of Project Latitude, Microsoft has also been considering launching Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition on rival consoles in early 2025, and its upcoming remastered spinoff, Age of Mythology: Retold, could come, too»
Starfield! Age of Empires! Hellblade! Halo!

This would be a nice get for sure. Played a fair bit on Gamepass so i will happily buy when it hits PS5.
