Microsoft has today revealed it'll be releasing PS5 ports of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Age of Mythology: Retold in the coming months. The former will launch for PS5 in Spring 2025, and the latter is out on 4th March 2025.
Revealed less than a week after the PS5 port of Forza Horizon 5 was first announced, the two strategy titles bring high-quality battles to Sony's current-gen system. «Playing across all platforms is a game-changer for our franchise, and it’s all about bringing our community together,» a blog post from Michael Mann shares. «This isn’t just about convenience — it’s about growing and strengthening the Age community.» Cross-play will let you join up with current Xbox and PC users.
Age of Mythology: Retold is a remaster of the 2002 original from Ensemble Studios. Released late last year to positive reviews, the PS5 version will feature a fully up-to-date version and offer a new DLC called Immortal Pillars separately. The standard version costs £22.49 / $29.99, and the Premium Edition is £37.99 / $49.99 and offers five days of early access.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, meanwhile, is a remaster of the original game from 1999, and features enhanced graphics at a 4K resolution as well as all previous DLC and entirely new content. The PS5 port arrives in the Spring, and will launch alongside another expansion. Again, there'll be cross-play support across all platforms.
