Rumour: Leaker Names Two More Xbox Games Possibly Going Multiplatform In 2025

At this point I feel like you could say this about all Microsoft exclusives and still come out right. Eventually.

Once Halo releases on any console other than Xbox, the brand is absolutely, utterly and irreversibly dead, shouldn’t even bother with another console tbh.

I think the same leaker has also said FF7Remake this year on Xbox/switch2.

Dunno how reliable he is.

Halo is expected it’s been rumoured for a while. Flight slim I’m more surprised about, probably just because it’s more niche.

I guess if they are going multiplatform, maybe we'll get what we wanted all this time...for them to make some actual games.

I will say no more they really not taking Xbox consoles that seriously now.

No one noticed in the UK how Xbox console stock is not being restocked both consoles.
Currys no stock online and in store.
Game no s stock at all only a few x.
Smyths toys no online stock at all, most stores no x or s stock.
Argos running low for delivery to certain areas.
Amazon from Amazon UK, no stock of any, advising maybe 1 to 3 months.
John Lewis none.
No trillion dollar company lets this happen by accident.
Why are Microsoft letting stock run dry.

Halo on playstation just sounds wrong!
It's like giving your neighbour a go with your misses just because your a nice guy!

'This is a Xbox' campaign feels like a snappy way of just saying, 'We are preparing to fully become third-party'.

I mean, it seems like their plan is to still have a console, and unlike Sega, they do have a subscription model that could theortically keep them in the console market.

Im still skeptical until it actually happens.

So all those years of publishers and media outlets throwing the term "Halo killer" around were for naught?

Switch 2 seems the perfect place to put Xbox games now. Halo going multi platform though is Xbox becoming 3rd party confirmed. Forza will be next.

@Markatron84 The ultimate irony is that Halo was the Halo killer.

But I really think this will lead to an accelerated death for Xbox consoles. Especially if they plan to release another console... what do they think is going to happen?

@PsBoxSwitchOwner He was among the first ones claiming that Hi-Fi Rush was heading to other consoles alongside other games late 2023, I called BS back then and well, safe to say who was wrong…

@Markatron84 Halo committed suicide a long time ago!

Well one thing is for sure....for the first time since PS2....next gen playstation will be my main console ...if Xbox release a handheld a will perhaps just get that depending on price

Guess next advertisement will feature a Playstation and say, "This is an Xbox".

Halo Masterchief Collection is a day 1 on my ps5 of that happens, just for the hell of playing Halo on Playstation 😯

If there are is one game that I’d love to go to the PS5 it would have to be Flightsim dusting off my psvr2 that would be amazing!

@Ricky-Spanish

Some people just call that a Friday night

Halo getting that many more players would be awesome. It's a direct benefit to those of us playing on xbox/pc.

This is honestly pretty cool. For those with $1-2K+ rigs you can get basically every Xbox first party game and many PlayStation exclusives will eventualy trickle onto PC as well, so you can play all of that maxed out with maybe a Switch 2 for Nintendo exclusives.

For those of us who prefer the ease, comfort and reliability of console gaming, the PlayStation/Switch 2 pairing is still the way to go—between the two, you can get the best looking, best playing console versions on the Pro and if you want them on the go, Boom you have the Switch.

If only streaming services would follow this route so I could just pay for one or maybe two subscriptions and get all my Netflix/Disney/Hulu/HBO/Paramount/Peacock/etc etc etc all in one place 😔

@PsBoxSwitchOwner He predicted Persona 5 Royal, P4G, and P3P will come to Nintendo Switch and well... they have.

He is usually reliable but lets just wait and see.

@Ricky-Spanish Sadly 100% correct. A lot of it went to how 343i treated their fans. Especially in the forums. That snickerdoodle girl was atrocious to people and they gave her a PROMOTION last time I saw. I was like, what?!? Then didn't let her go when 343i made all those layoffs. I was then like WTF?!?

For fans of the games seems the first big fail was halo 4 multiplayer. Ironically that was only halo multiplayer I enjoyed and played heck out of. Halo 4 big team death match was amazing! Easily put hundreds of hours into it playing it every night for have say at least over a year.

@Sol76 Hahaha 😂

@GuyinPA75 Halo like gears have just gone downhill since the ip left the original developers!

@Ricky-Spanish

It's like giving your neighbour a go with your misses just because your a nice guy!

Hey, no kink shaming please.

I’m saying that it’s not set in stone so why we acting like it’s basically confirmed

I still think the Playstation part of the deal is a bad idea - they will use their 30% for some more exclusives. But Switch 2 okay that would be cool.

But this was all rumoured last year too so 🤷‍♂️.

and also i think we shouldn’t be acting it’s the end of the world for xbox everytime a rumor like this comes up, and don’t tell me i’m a fanboy or a ponybot, i own both, i’m just saying that you shouldn’t have to act like this is a personal attack on you and need to understand there’s more to life than just worshipping a plastic box.

@Ricky-Spanish brilliant analogy 😂

and was this is a rumor last year too?

what’s all of this doom and gloom everytime a rumor comes up

I think the extra revenue from multi platform releasing will justify continuing to develop consoles for those that want to play Xbox games and Game Pass on an Xbox. I don't think it's so much doom and gloom as some carry on about. Xbox games can be experienced in a variety of ways that meets the consumer's needs.

@OldGamer999 I think u have mentioned the absence of stock for the series x/s plenty of times. Doesn’t really conclude that ‘Xbox is letting the stock run dry’. Could mean they are focusing on the selling the digital series x.

@donv2135 100 percent agree. Last year was pretty much a success for Xbox given the games they made, let’s see if they can increase it this year. Some of their decisions were awful though.

@IOI you need to stop acting like you know how to run a company

@ZAHMED
The digital all white series x was out of stock before the others and has not restocked since.
Let’s be honest this is like me saying I forget to get out of bed for work all last week.
It’s Microsoft doing whatever they are doing for whatever reason with Xbox consoles.
Even if it’s just pure complacency.

@OldGamer999 we know, and i understand it feels that microsoft doesn’t care to you, but you have to understand that it takes time, and complaining about it wouldn’t make it come any faster, also if you worrying about console stock everyday, you have a problem.

@OldGamer999 besides the year just started.

One thing I don't understand, with that multiplatform thing, is their desire to stay in the console manufacturer market.

I mean, when Sega went full multi-platform, it was because it ceased totally its activity as a console constructor.

But Microsoft ? They talk about "next Xbox" but then really seem to go the full multi-platform way.

So, as a consumer, why should I buy their future console ? If I'm gonna find the sames games, PLUS SOME EXCLUSIVES ONES, on other platforms ?

I really don't see the logic, here. From a business's point of view, and from a consumer's one.

@Bobobiwan why you should be concerned about it?

@donv2135 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Xbox-RRT-00007-Series-X/dp/B08H93GKNJ?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

@donv2135
Worrying doesn’t fuel me but thank you.
It’s just pure frustration and the lack of commitment for our Xbox consoles from Microsoft.
See I wanted a fight with Sony now Xbox have the studios and of course the money.
Yes keep the Xbox universe and all devices and GPU but don’t release on Sony consoles and take the fight to them.
Sony are not as strong like in the PS4 era belting game after AAA game out.
But Xbox have the studios to release about 4 AAA a year and also COD.
I want Xbox to be Xbox like in the 360 era fighting and exclusive, but have the Xbox universe just not on other consoles.
To me they have no drive for console or passion for the console giving games to other consoles and also letting stock run out.
It’s hard on an old original xboxer day one.

Even with Nintendo consoles as my primary ones, I don't like this move. I'm so far invested in Xbox it still kind of doesn't make sense not to buy the next console. Or I could do what MS is trying to force me to do and game on PC in lieu of buying the next console. Decisions...

You guys trust Jez Corden right? Because he commented on this and said it's true and there's a lot more than just Halo and Flight sim coming.

OH NO!

Anyway the weather has been freezing lately and did you see what Mrs Smith is doing in her back garden?

Man, I want to love the Xbox brand again. The original Xbox and the 360 had games that created ever lasting memories for me. Until November of 2024, I hadn’t turned on my Series X since September 2023, but Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones hooked me. And just when I started feeling that nostalgic feeling, there is always some form of news that makes me essentially feel like I’m playing on a meaningless console. For me, there is no real incentive to be part of this ecosystem.

Xbox is totally screwing up on this. They finally have a great line up of great games coming out that would make non xbox console owners buy the console. Games like The new Doom, Indiana Jones, Avowed, and Fable. I would make these all exclusive. Plus Activisions huge list of IPs all exclusives except COD. Just really poor management of all this and waste of money.

Spencer already said that there are no red lines when it comes to games going multiplatform, or something to this effect a while back.

@Markatron84 It was a one time thing your turn next time!!

@RiverGenie She was asking for it a good while in fairness had to give her what she wanted!
Ps. You watching helped us finish 🥴

I remember a quote last year by Phil Spencer about floodgates that looks like it will age like milk.

As long as we continue to get the line up of games similar to what’s coming this year to GamePass, I’ll still want to have an Xbox console. The list this year is amazing with not only the MS games but also some fantastic third party games like Atomfall, Sniper Elite: Resistance, Expedition 33, Mixtape, Eternal Strands, Hollow Knight Silksong, etc., etc.

Getting all the MS games day one without having to pay $70 each and all those third party games still makes GamePass a tremendous value for me. That and liking the Xbox ecosystem itself will keep me buying into the brand if there’s a next gen console.

Now if GamePass was available on PS6…. But that will never happen.

Gears Ultimate also to PS5 this year, apparently...

@awp69 I still believe there will be a ‘mini’ GP on PlayStation and Nintendo in the future.

Will only have the first party games/back catalogue on it. (Still a good number) much like the Ubisoft/EA ones.

It won’t have 3rd party games on it, they will keep that for elsewhere

looks like xbox will open the flood gates to porting a lot of there games to the ps5 and the switch..xbox will be sony largest third party publisher from now on..

@awp69 gamepass on ps6 will definitely happen. Xbox is done as a console

@StylesT The PS2 was my last main console until Xbox came along and that has been my main console up to the current Series X. Could you easily just exit the Xbox ecosystem just like that? What about the massive digital game library? Achievement system (if your into that), all your friends on Xbox and the incredible value of Game Pass? Those are the things that I’d find hard to just leave behind after almost 23 years of Xbox.

Saying all that I do like the idea of just having one console and the benefit of having all games, barring Nintendo games, on one system. I have no interest in PC. I’d definitely get an official Xbox handheld as well.

@OldGamer999 I’ve seen that there’s hardly any Xbox consoles in stock anywhere as well but it makes no sense if it’s intentional when they are making a next-gen Xbox console. I could understand the stock shortages if there was no plans for another Xbox console.

@Deljo Do you really believe Microsoft would like Game Pass on PlayStation? The sales of their games could be severely impacted even the majority of players subscribed to it. Must be more money to be made when selling a new game for £70 as opposed to someone just subscribing for £14.99 and they may not keep renewing after finishing a game they are interested in.

But for the MCC, will they actually do something about the PC hackers that can get your account banned just by playing with them?

@IOI i’m not defending a coropation, i’m just putting how silly to jump to conclusions so quickly over rumors

@MaccaMUFC
Well maybe they won’t make another Xbox home console.
To be honest it is probably just total complacency on Microsoft’s behave really showing they didn’t care one bit about Xbox consoles.
Or they are gonna pull out now, but I don’t think so.
No wonder Xbox consoles are in this state with no stock about, what pratts 🤣

Lol at the Sony fan boys who appear all over these posts every time another rumour is released. I know it's been almost dry for AAA First Party games on the PS5 for years now, but come on 😂

Microsoft are a multi trillion dollar company, they can give and they can take away, if their new console and handheld do well with the exclusives they release with it I doubt you will see many if any AAA titles going to PlayStation thereafter.

@Rog-X Helldivers 2, MLB, Astro Bot, Spiderman 2, Lego Horizon, Until Dawn Remake...not to mention all the other console exclusives that have come like Rise of the Ronin, FF7 Rebirth, Stellar Blade, FF16. Seems like this dry spell is a figment of your imagination. As is the suggest that Microsoft Gaming is suddenly going to pivot and stop being a multiplatform publisher.

@OldGamer999 or maybe you need to take a break from the internet for a bit?

I'm a gamepass player but if games like Halo are going full 3rd party how will gamepass work if it's eventually just a PC thing? I don't see Nintendo or Sony allowing GP on their systems and without a reason to get an Xbox the amount of 3rd party titles in gamepass is sure to drop. If next gen is an Xbox with other storefronts.... basically a PC console...then I can see this working still. But if it's not it's spooky if true. There still seems to be mixed messaging from Xbox so likely things are still being discussed and fought over....but if you go full 3rd party you might as well stop with dedicated hardware. It's usually doom n gloom at Xbox with a slight period of positivity so this might be a nothing burger....but it's likely a self inflicted rake in the face as is the norm lol.

It would be weird to see halo on PS but honestly we all played it years ago (or had a chance to do so). In my opinion its way more interesting to see when newer games like flight sim 2024, avowed, gears e-day and fable come to PS.

If someone would sell xbox today and go to PS, would feel like a fool if then have to wait for games like fable to come over time and not day 1.

For me personally thats the biggest “no” (for now) with switching to PS. There are too many games I want to play right away, avowed next month for example. I would wait maybe 3 mobths max or so. So until everything is day 1, I am with xbox and I still enjoy GP regardless

@Bobobiwan because it seems like they are not 100% on porting all games to PS. And in my opinion there is a huge difference between porting some older games to PS or launching some games day 1 and launching everything day 1 on PS. For example I am excited to play new gears and fable and the max I would wait is probably several months. Today is too early to sell xbox. But seems like the trend is towards no exclusivity at all, maybe with launch of next xbox which will backfire for sure.
But overall i take all rumours with a grain of salt - every week there is a “another X game might be coming to PS” rumour

@Dimey that one disappoints me cause i am seeing that as no Gears of War collection 1-3 coming out. If it was seems like they would just wait to release that and then have E-day hit. I really really want Gears of war collection with 1-3 running on Unreal Engine 5.

@donv2135
I need to give up caring about it, more like 🤣

@MrMagic

Phil Spencer - It's only 4 games and that doesn't mean the flood gates are open

And subsequently Phil Spencer also said that (basically) there are no red lines when it comes to games and their multiplatform strategy... There's no need for Xbox fans to give oxygen to Sony trolls like yourself to troll Xbox articles further at every opportunity 🙄.

@Sol4ris

Implying that you don't go on PushSquare to troll is a riot.

@MrMagic looking at financial reports to spin things as usual.

@TeiGekiLord

That's both hilarious and fabulously rich coming from someone like you. I don't have an account on Pushsquare, but nice try nonetheless.

@Sol4ris

At least I own every platform so my takes have more weight than fanboys on any of these sites.

Xbox this gen isn't that good, sorry.

@TeiGekiLord

At least I own every platform so my takes have more weight than fanboys on any of these sites

Well that is one way to look at things I guess. I too own two of the three consoles on the market, Series X and PS5 but don't feel like I should wilfully troll owners of other platforms.

Xbox this gen isn't that good, sorry

That depends. If we look at exclusive games for bragging rights than yes, Xbox is (severely)lacking. But as a piece of hardware, the features it has and the variety of games on GP or otherwise, its been excellent. Then again I'm not terribly fused if XGS games can be played on different platforms...

@electrolite77

Congrats, I think this is the worst Xbox yet and it has the most talentless inept people running it but if I say that, I'm immediately a Sony troll.

@electrolite77 Lol I’d be in blogs all day long, it’s almost sickening how much someone is willing to become a simp of a corporation, and if you’re think here’s bad just take a look at Push Square, sometimes it look straight up as a cult starting with the authors and staff themselves.

@Ricky-Spanish Watching Xbox go from having an 'open relationship' with PC in the late 00s to outright cuckolding its fans with big first-party releases on competitor's consoles while getting nothing in return for Xbox owners has been one of the funniest progressions I've ever seen in my life.

@Ralizah Sounds like you haven't seen many funny things!
I give out on here but I'm not gonna be hurt if Xbox released every exclusive ever on playstation I enjoy gaming on my Xbox but I have bigger problems in reality👍
