Xbox reportedly plans to make Hellblade 2, Gears of War and Halo multi-platform

In early 2024, Microsoft took its first steps towards transforming into a multi-platform games publisher by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to PlayStation consoles. In 2025, there are bigger multi-platform releases supposedly being planned, and it looks like Microsoft also wants to up its support of Nintendo platforms with the arrival of the Switch 2. 

Over the past week, rumours have claimed that Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Since then, Windows Central's Jez Corden has corroborated this rumour, and added a few more games to keep our eyes on in the coming months.

According to the report, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Hellblade 2, Age of Mythology, Halo and MSFS 2024 are destined to land on PlayStation 5. Such a move would be Microsoft's biggest step away from exclusive games, although the company still maintains that Xbox will continue to have exclusives.

Currently, the biggest Xbox exclusive is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which launched to rave reviews in December 2024. However, even before its release, there have been rumours that this game will be coming to PS5 later this summer.

Microsoft is set to host an Xbox Direct on the 23rd of January, during which we expect to hear more news about upcoming titles like Fable, Avowed and more.

KitGuru Says: It seems likely that moving forward, every major Xbox exclusive will be a timed exclusive. Especially if flagship franchises like Gears and Halo are set to make the jump over to other platforms.
