Xbox Game Studios titles Pentiment and Grounded are coming to the Nintendo Switch.

Both games were developed by Obisidian, and are among four Xbox console exclusives that were reported to be coming to other consoles.

Pentiment will be released tomorrow, February 22, while Grounded is coming on April 16.

Last week Microsoft confirmed that four unnamed Xbox exclusives would be coming to on other console platforms, like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Although the four titles weren’t named during this announcement, VGC sources suggest the games are Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves and Grounded.

Pentiment and Grounded, then, are the first of these titles to be officially confirmed for Switch.

“Survive, build and explore in this immersive co-op survival-adventure game where you’re the size of an ant and where the insect life reacts to your actions,” reads Nintendo‘s description of Grounded.

“Play solo or with up to three friends online and discover the treacherous wonders of your own backyard. Build bases to protect your stuff and craft new tools, weapons and armour to improve your chances against hazards of all shapes and (very large) sizes. Plus, create and share fresh adventures in Playgrounds Mode.”

Of Pentiment, it says: “Journey to 16th Century Bavaria and face choices and consequences that will ripple throughout a small community for years to come.

“Step into a living illustrated world inspired by the earliest printed books and meet a colourful cast of characters in the small town of Tassing and nearby Keirsau Abbey. Each decision you make along the way can have a profound impact on the community’s future, impacting them for generations.

“Find your own way through this turbulent time when Pentiment launches on Nintendo Switch on February 22.”
