Rumor: Halo: MCC, Flight Simulator 2024, Gears of War, and More Xbox Titles Said to Be Coming to PS5 This Year

[summaraize]

Following last year’s announcement that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is bound for release on the PS5 this spring, rumors have surfaced that a slew of Xbox exclusives are headed to Sony’s console and even Nintendo’s unannounced Switch 2.

If the rumors are true, this means Microsoft is continuing its efforts to bring Xbox games to more platforms, Xbox head Phil Spencer has called this approach “a strategy that works for us,” though decisions about bringing games to other platforms are still made on a case-by-case basis.

This time around, the games mentioned that are said to be coming to the PS5 are literally the Xbox platforms’ biggest first-party franchises.

More Xbox Games Coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 This Year

Insider reports and leaks have made their way online pointing to the games supposedly set to arrive on Sony’s current gaming platform. Relatively reliable leaker, Nate The Hate, has shared new details about possible cross-platform releases for 2025.

In a recent YouTube video, Nate The Hate revealed:

I suspect the Oblivion Remake is cross-platform—there’s no reason to doubt it. The games I’ve heard coming to other platforms in 2025 include Flight Simulator for PS5 and Switch 2, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection for both PS5 and Switch 2.

Nate also mentioned Microsoft’s growing support for the Nintendo Switch 2, suggesting the company is planning to bring and enhance its existing titles for the new console:

Expect games like Grounded, Pentiment, and the Ori series to be patched for 4K and ported to the Switch 2. There’s also a possibility for titles like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to make their way to the Switch.

Adding weight to Nate’s claims, Windows Central later reported corroborating details from separate sources. They listed additional titles likely to release on the PS5, including Hellblade 2, Age of Mythology, and potentially Gears of War 1 Ultimate Edition.

While the information sounds promising, it is important to remember that plans could change. Microsoft’s strategies for multi-platform releases remain flexible, and some of these anticipated launches could be delayed or canceled altogether. At the end of the day, these are all rumors until confirmed or debunked by Microsoft,

For now, gamers will need to wait for official news to find out which Xbox games will come to other platforms in 2025.

In related news, Final Fantasy 7 Remake is rumored to be coming to Xbox later this year, according to NateTheHate. Its sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, is planned for 2026 if everything goes as expected.
