The people have spoken. Amid countless rumours that Xbox is planning a pivot to bring some of its games to other consoles, we now know what's top of the list when it comes to what fans want to see make the jump to PlayStation. We held a poll earlier this week asking our readers which Xbox franchise they'd most like to play on PS5 and PS4, and the results are now in.

Yeah, that was peak Xbox and a PS3 version of the first one exists somewhere.
