Microsoft first-party games Pentiment, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Sea of Thieves will soon be available on Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation platforms. Xbox confirmed on Wednesday that much like other popular multi-platform games like Minecraft, Call of Duty, Overwatch and Diablo, players will soon be able to access these exclusive games on their Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. This move underscores a larger trend in the gaming industry towards greater accessibility and cross-platform interoperability. By adopting this strategy, the company hopes to encourage greater inclusivity and reach a wider range of gamers.
Readers Vote Gears of War Above Halo as Their Most Wanted Xbox Series on PlayStation | Push Square
12.02.2024 - 23:48 / pushsquare.com
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.
After nearly 12,000 votes, it's Gears of War that takes the top honour. Yes, the gory third-person shooter is the most wanted Xbox series to come to PlayStation, according to our readers at least. It pips Halo to the post, which took nine per cent of the votes compared to Gears' 11 per cent. Third in the rundown is Bethesda's RPG series, The Elder Scrolls, with eight per cent.
Beyond that, things are relatively evenly spread between the likes of Indiana Jones, Fable, Forza Horizon, and Starfield. After that, things taper off somewhat. Interestingly, there are a number of Xbox franchises that received less than one per cent of the total votes; games like Crackdown, Battletoads, Grounded, Pentiment, Viva Piñata, and several others didn't get much love at all.
Here's the top 20 most wanted Xbox-owned franchises our readers want on PlayStation:
We suppose there are no huge surprises here, although we'd have expected Crackdown and one or two others to be a little higher. Anyway, Gears of War is the winner here. Did you vote for this series? Would you play it or any other Xbox franchises on PS5? Discuss in the comments section below.
Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed an eclectic taste in video games and a wide knowledge of the medium, from small indie gems to the biggest AAA blockbusters. Ever hopeful that the Burnout series makes a miraculous return.
The OG Gears trilogy was epic, tactical reloads, assault rifles with chainsaws, curb stomping downed enemies, sticking grenades to enemies.
Yeah, that was peak Xbox and a PS3 version of the first one exists somewhere.
Gears of War is far and away Xbox’s best first party ongoing series and one of my favourite series of all time.
Also I remember Naughty Dog saying a lot of the gameplay in Uncharted 1 was inspired by the first Gears of War.
Yeah would like to play the first three again, but I've heard the later versions aren't up to scratch.
I want Lost Odyssey port most.
The original Halo and Gears of War trilogies were Xbox at their peak, no doubt.
GoW is the closest thing Xbox Studios have made to what PlayStation is known for — I only played the first one (as it released on PC when I still used that for gaming) but it was everything I like in a action-adventure game.
When I've bought XsX a couple of years ago, the very first thing to install was Halo Infinite, praised by

Reaction: Xbox Is Bringing Some Great Games to PS5, But Rumours Will Remain Rampant About What's Next | Push Square
More great games are coming to the PS5, and that’s never a bad thing. Microsoft announced during a highly massaged corporate message that it’ll bring four first-party titles to rival systems, although it wouldn’t name any names. Fortunately, the rumours have been so strong that we can surmise they’ll be rhythm brawler Hi-Fi Rush, historical adventure Pentiment, nautical outing Sea of Thieves, and survival game Grounded. These fit Xbox boss Phil Spencer’s description of two smaller titles and two live service experiences.

However, its stance is wishy-washy when it comes to other releases, with Spencer claiming he doesn’t believe “we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform”.
