Gears of War, Hellblade 2 and More Xbox Games to Launch on PS5 in 2025: Report
Microsoft is reportedly gearing up to bring more of its exclusive games to rival platforms from Sony and Nintendo in 2025. After launching some Xbox games on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch last year, the company is likely readying its bigger franchises, including Gears of War, for PS5 and potentially the Nintendo Switch successor console, too, this year. Last week, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection were tipped to launch on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, as well.
A Windows Central report last week claimed Microsoft intended to double down on its multiplatform strategy in 2025, bringing more Xbox games to PS5 and potentially the yet unannounced Nintendo Switch successor. Citing sources, the report tipped Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Age of Mythology: Retold and potentially Gears of War: Ultimate Edition to arrive on PS5 and likely on Nintendo Switch 2 this year.
Hellblade 2 released in May last year on Xbox Series S/X and, while Age of Mythology: Retold, a remaster of 2002's real-time strategy title Age of Mythology, launched on current-gen Xbox consoles and PC in September. Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, a remaster of the first game in the Gears of War series, released 2015 on Xbox One and a year later on PC.
The report also corroborated a claim from last week that tipped Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection to launch on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025. The information originally came from games industry insider NateTheHate, who has previously made accurate predictions about game releases.
The tipster also claimed that Final Fantasy VII Remake would arrive on Xbox this year, with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launching on the platform in 2026.
