Starfield and Bethesda’s upcoming Indiana Jones game are not the only first-party Xbox games that are headed to PlayStation, according to games journalist Jeff Grubb, who claimed today during a new episode of his Giant Bomb show that the Gears of War franchise is also coming to Sony’s rival consoles. Gears 5, the latest installment of the franchise, is currently available to play on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, while many of the older titles remain exclusive to Xbox.
Xbox titles reportedly coming to PlayStation include:
- Gears of War
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
- Sea of Thieves
- Starfield
Launch estimates:
- Indiana Jones: December 2024 for Xbox/PC/PlayStation
- Hi-Fi Rush: Q1 2024 release on PlayStation (tentative)
- Starfield: Coming to PS5 following Shattered Space DLC
Comments from Grubb:
- “The other one that I’ve heard that’s definitely under consideration—it doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen, but it’s in talks—is Gears of War…”
- “The other thing I can corroborate is a rumour that there will be something at the end of February when they’re going to explain this change – that is something that they definitely were talking about.”
Gears 5 description:
With all-out war descending, Kait Diaz breaks away to uncover her connection to the enemy and discovers the true danger to Sera – herself. New campaign features let you take your character and weapon skins into new playthroughs and enjoy bonus difficulties and modifiers.

Join Discussion →Honestly it isn't to generate sales but to show that MS is still publishing games for alternate consoles. They just leave out
(once we know we can make money on it. and just long enough to make enough people to buy an Xbox first.)
True. This is more about fending off an anti-trust lawsuit than anything I think. At least, as far as a console-centric decision where they went all in to get these studios just for exclusives, it makes zero sense to turn around and put them out on everything. The only thing that makes sense is placating regulators, at least for long enough for them to turn a blind eye again. Then we will start to see some of these things get locked back down.
Honestly, I'm surprised they don't just publish a Xbox Cloud Gaming app for the PS5/Switch and then claim their entire library is playable on any console.
Doesn't the xbox live gold give you the ability to stream games?
Live Gold I think is dead, it got merged into Xbox Game Pass, and Cloud gaming comes with Ultimate (not just the less expensive PC or console only version)
Anyway - supported platforms for Xbox Streaming (hint: none of the other consoles, and ironically the Xbox isn't listed either)
