Perfect Dark Already In Development For PS5 And Switch 2

Expert Verified By

Another Multiplatform Game From Xbox!

Story Highlight
  • Microsoft hasn’t announced a release date for Perfect Dark, but it is rumored to be released in 2026. 
  • The game was announced to be released on Xbox, but it seems like its PS5 and Switch 2 ports are already in development.
  • This decision from the gaming giant isn’t surprising as it is hands-deep in the multiplatform strategy.

Perfect Dark Reboot was announced back in 2020, and we finally saw an extensive look at its gameplay during the Xbox’s showcase last year. However, the gaming giant has changed its approach when it comes to exclusives, so fans were wondering if this title would be released on other consoles, too. 

Fans now don’t have to wonder as the game is in development for the PS5 and most likely the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Why it matters: The multiplatform for Xbox seems to be doing well, as it generated a revenue of $6.58 billion in Q2 of FY25. Forza Horizon 5 has also been announced for the PS5, so it won’t be surprising if more of Xbox’s flagship series head to the rival console.

The game’s release date is yet to be confirmed, so the gaming giant may have decided to release it on the rival consoles on day one. Given Xbox’s recent approach to its game, it isn’t surprising to see this decision.

While the job posting doesn’t directly quote PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, it says multiple platforms. Given that Switch 2 is slated to be released later this year, it is a smart move to develop a port for that. 

Perfect Dark’s 25th anniversary is approaching, so Xbox may have planned to announce its release date and PS5 port in the future. A report previously suggested that the game will be released in 2026.
