Xbox Will Release More First-Party Games on PlayStation 5 Than Sony This Year

Expert Verified By

Xbox is Going All in With Multiplatform Strategy!

Story Highlight
  • Xbox is slated to launch more first-party games of its own on PlayStation 5 than Sony this year.
  • Games like Indiana Jones, Forza Horizon 5, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and more are planned for the console.
  • Sony’s Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei are coming to PS5, and some others are also rumored for a 2025 launch.

While first-party games for consoles used to be abundant in the past decades, the same cannot be said about the current generation. The rising development costs and certain failures from both Xbox and PlayStation have resulted in limited successful releases.

Hence, Xbox has completely shifted its strategy to adopt a multiplatform approach to maximize profits. That means almost all its first-party titles will come to PlayStation.

Now, we’ve discovered that Xbox is aiming to release more first-party titles on PS5 than Sony in 2025.

Why it matters: Xbox plans to release more first-party games on PS5 than Sony in 2025, signaling a shift toward Microsoft’s growing influence in the PlayStation ecosystem.

Xbox Multiplatform
Xbox is bringing a slew of its first-party titles to PS5 as part of its multiplatform strategy.

Xbox games like Indiana Jones, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Forza Horizon 5, The Outer Worlds 2, Age of Empires 2, and Age of Mythology Retold are confirmed to launch on PlayStation 5 this year. And these projects do not include the many others that are still circulating in rumors.

Activision is expected to release a new Call of Duty game every year, so the next one will definitely be available on PS5 from day one.

Moreover, First-party titles like Halo Infinite, Hellblade 2, and Gears of War Remastered Collection, are also speculated by various credible insiders to launch on PlayStation 5 in 2025. 

On the flip side, Sony has only confirmed to release Marathon, Ghost of Yotei, and Death Stranding 2 on PS5, while projects like Fairgame$ and Marvel’s Wolverine are barely rumored for a 2025 release so far.

PlayStation is also rumored to adopt a multiplatform strategy in the future by multiple insiders.

PS5 fans hoped for more first-party game announcements in 2025 at the State of Play but were left wanting. Still, take this report cautiously, as things could shift later this year.

Do you think Xbox is going to eventually dominate the PlayStation ecosystem over the years with its roster of first-party titles? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
