Pentiment Pegged for PS5 Amid Ongoing Xbox Strategy Shift Rumours | Push Square
14.02.2024 - 00:39 / pushsquare.com
Microsoft will reveal more about its new business strategy during a podcast later this week, where it’s expected it’ll announce several formerly Xbox exclusive titles for PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The strongest speculation seems to surround Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves, although others like Starfield and Gears of War are apparently being “considered” by the trillion-dollar tech titan, too.

Now, in a summary of the situation, The Verge has reported that Obsidian’s passion project Pentiment could also make the transition to Sony’s system. The release, set in 1518, attracted generally rave reviews when it first launched back in 2022, and will likely represent another PS5 must-play when it allegedly arrives.
Despite the ongoing speculation, no one seems to know exactly how far Microsoft’s multiplatform plans go, although The Verge speculates that Xbox’s unprecedented growth – accelerated by its unfathomable $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard – paired with Game Pass’ stagnating subscriber base has forced it to explore new ways to make money.
All will hopefully be cleared up during Thursday’s podcast, and we’ll of course bring you all of the details as soon as we’re privy to them.
A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you.
Thursday can't come fast enough. Pentiment and HiFi Rush are my two favorite games on Xbox by a mile. Don't get games like that from AAA devs anymore.
@Jayslow same here I beat hi fi but I’ll def play it again on ps5 for trophies and started pentiment and loved it but got sidetracked by other games only like three hours in so I’ll def buy that too
So they're starting with Xbox's two most interesting exclusives this generation. That's more than fine with me.
The pattern so far leans heavily towards small, well-received titles having 1+ year exclusivity window. Even more so when Ori and cuphead switch ports are included. We will see if there is a threshold for a size of game that is untouchable for PS. Hellblade 2 will be interesting to watch for over the next year or two. It's bigger than Hi Fi but still firmly in the smaller title category
Like the Activision fiasco I want to get this over with one way or the other, it shouldn't take this long for a multi trillion dollar company to communicate something by now.
GREAT game that should have been on PS5 ages ago
Pentiment is the perfect game for Switch. It’s not indie but it has a lot of that similar energy, plus it’s just very high quality in general. Hi-Fi Rush is gonna be my priority Xbox title I pick up tho (if they release a physical I might even pick that up over

It’s described this strategy as unsustainable.
