After Over 30 years of wrestling and fierce battle, The end of the console war Would it clearly be about to succeed? For many years, Nintendo has taken off and has stopped This race for technologyplaying alone in its corner, with bets not always winners (like the Wii U), but other choices that work wonderfully well (such as the Switch and the recent Switch 2).
Since last year, Microsoft with its Xbox has started to drastically change strategy. To companies Gradually abandons the consoles For the benefit of subscription offers such as Xbox Game Pass and Cloud Gaming features. Now, the company is gradually, to stop exclusives By taking out all of their titles, even the most emblematic, on PlayStation.
More than ever, the industry is at a turning point with Three actors who advance in opposite directions. The last bulwark is the Nintendo and PlayStation exclusives. And on this point, it could also move in the coming months.
PlayStation: Towards the end of exclusives?
Who could have believed, a few months ago, only cult games and licenses like Gears of War, Forza or even Halo could arrive one day on PlayStation ? And yet, today, it’s a reality. In April, Forza Horizon 5 arrived on PS5. Next August, this is the first opus of Gears of War which will tumble on the Sony console through a remaster. And many rumors evoke the arrival of Halonext year.
Besides that, Microsoft drops the horses and carries all of his titles on PS5: Sea of Thieves, Doom : The Dark Ages, Grounded, Indiana Jones and the old circle, The Outer Worlds 2 or Hellblade II To name a few, in less than a year, It’s an Xbox game wave which have just been announced on the main competing console. And it may well continue when we see the many announcements of the Xbox Games Showcase of the Summer Game Fest last week, with the appearance of the PS5 logo on A large part of the announcements of the conference.
So, in all, one wonders When the PlayStation Games Will they also arrive on Xbox? Months before Microsoft’s strategy change, Sony was very reluctantto this idea. Today we feel that speech begins to evolve . In a recent interview, Hermen Hulst, the director of PlayStation Studios began to see a possibility of seeing PlayStation flagship titles, and in particular solo games, arrive On new platforms :
“It is important to understand that we are really thinking about the possibility of getting our deductibles beyond the consoles to reach new audiences and that we adopt a very measured and very deliberate approach for this. Particularly with regard to solo games, our flagship titles, which is the point of differentiation of PlayStation. These are real windows for the performance and quality of our machines…
We are very attentive to the way we will bring these titles to other platforms, and the opportunity to do so. »»
So of course, this declaration still remains very shyand does not confirm that the flagship games as Uncharted, The Last Of Us, God of WarSpider-Man or Ratchet & Clank will arrive on Xbox and Switch 2 soon. On the other hand, this confirms that in internal, Sony starts to think about the possibilities. And just that, nobody would have bet on it a few years ago.
Sony has already started its change of strategy for two or three years with The release of its main games on PC. This already represented a huge change in PlayStation policy. So, now, anything is possible and who knows, Xbox players may be able to discover the games Uncharted in a more or less close future and it may be possible to play Astro Bot On Nintendo Switch 2. Case to follow!
In any case, the legendary license Pataponwho has experienced a bright future on PSP (PlayStation Portable) will have the right To a remaster this summer. The game is already expected on PS4, PS5 and on Nintendo Switch. At the end of the year, PlayStation released his game LEGO Horizon Adventures on PS5 as well as on Nintendo Switch. So everything is really possible.
