Somerville was quite a highly-anticipated Xbox exclusive when it arrived on Game Pass late last year, after all, it came from some of the minds behind Playdead's Limbo and Inside. Well, as of August 31st, it'll no longer be an Xbox console exclusive.
Developer Jumpship has announced that Somerville is heading to PlayStation at the end of the month - although it doesn't look like it'll hit PS Plus in any form at launch. The sci-fi indie title is still in the Xbox Game Pass library at the time of writing, following its November 2022 launch on the platform.
Back when it launched on Game Pass, we felt a little underwhelmed by Somerville, all told. It just didn't live up to what we wanted to see from a team touting its Limbo / Inside history, and in the end, its "dull gameplay" got in the way of an intriguing story.
Still, as we mentioned, Somerville remains in the Game Pass library right now, so, if the news of its PlayStation arrival has reminded you to try it out, then, via Xbox Game Pass is always a solid option.

Underwhelming game
Can't say I've even heard of this game.
Somerville? What the hell is this game? Lol. Coming soon to PS5/PS4? OK.
Haven't had a chance to try this one. Other games took precedence. It is not as highly regarded as Limbo and Inside.
I was disappointed. It was just okay.
It's decent, not great, but still worth a try if you enjoy the genre.l, just don't expect inside quality level
Don't even remember this ...and it seems like something i would atleast of had on my radar if it was coming to gamepass lol
Odd to see an article about a game going to PlayStation on Pure Xbox. Must be a slow news day, lol.
@awp69 was wondering the same lol, if I hadn't seen the similar article on pushsquare I would've thought they accidentally published it on the wrong site despite being different teams.
Does it play at 60 FPS? Split screen? AAA game? If it isn’t then I won’t play - even try it even though it is on Gamepass… unless it is 5 times better than Baldurs Gate 3… #jimryan
Don't get me wrong, more games coming to more platforms is great, but does the announcement of a (now formerly) Xbox-exclusive third-party game coming to PlayStation really warrant a news article on Pure Xbox? Was this story accidentally posted here instead of on Push Square or something? If it were the other way around and, say for example, Final Fantasy VII Remake were to suddenly make its way to Xbox, I'd expect Pure Xbox to be all over it; Push Square not so much.
