It seems the floodgates may have well and truly opened, as a new report has claimed knowledge of even more Xbox first-party games heading to rival platforms, including PS5.
Spanish site Vandal recently posted a story about Microsoft's multi-platform strategy, and according to its sources, Killer Instinct and Starfield are likely the next couple of titles to venture outside the Xbox realm.
On top of that, the outlet also claims several other games that are planned for PS5 — Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, and most interestingly, the upcoming Fable. The report says the latter could possibly see a simultaneous release on all platforms.
Xbox chief Phil Spencer has made it crystal clear that there's no limit on which first-party titles might make the jump, and given the sheer volume of rumours and reports on the subject, it's definitely ramping up.
Just yesterday, Forza Horizon 5 was officially confirmed for release on PS5 this Spring, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is also coming soon.
It's obviously difficult to know how credible this report is, but again, there's an insane amount of smoke about all this right now, and it's coming from somewhere.

Jokes aside I can see it happening for sure, Mircosoft/Xbox get more sales and we as PS players get more gaming options, I can't see what's there to be negative about, in all honestly, I would throw Xbox and bone or two in exchange (like Rise of the Ronin or something)
Edit: Would also like to add that Jez Cordon's tweet has aged like milk.
Curious to see if any of these would ever be announced at a state of play or PlayStation showcase.
Fable on PS5 at launch would melt people's brains.
I am also really pumped to get the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator. Come on Phil. Release all the games!
At this point, they just need to rip the bandaid off and announce a slew of games coming to PS5 and Switch 2. Shareholders would be giddy to see all the revenue that’s about to come pouring in.
Would love a Fable Anniversary Collection on PlayStation to get that platinum.
Avowed will surely make it's way at some point, so will Hellblade 2. The floodgates have well and truly opened.
Really excited for Xbox to go the Windows route with 3rd party and 1st party skus. That, as well as killing exclusivity is bound to be fruitful for them.
Hell yeah on Killer Instinct.
N.i.c.e. now bring ori and gears.word up son
I just want OBLIVION 😅
Who here is looking forward to star field releasing on PS5, I’m sure someone is😂😂😂🤔👀
Although between Fable and Star field, definitely will be looking forward to Fable 😌
games i would like on PlayStation
Quantum break cool Remedy game with time powers
Starfield not great not trash just good 7/10
Gears of war 1, 2, 3 quality games 4 and 5 not so much
Recore was a cool game
Tell me why game by the life is strange developers
Redfall sorry i liked it good game
I don't know how interested I'd be in revisiting the older Fable titles on PS5 but I'd really like the new one to be there eventually.
Is there much point to these articles anymore? My expectation is that everything will make its way over sooner or later. The pattern seems to be that new games will receive a day-and-date (or only a few months delay, depending on developer capacity) release on PlayStation, while older stuff will be staggered not to hurt their own sales by flooding PlayStation with too much at once and competing with themselves.

Is KI on xbox crossplayeable with pc? Because that would be the first xbox game that I would actually be interested in if it has crossplay. I don't want an almost dead online game just to play it with 5 more people lol.
@StrickenBiged Right? Yesterday was Halo, today is Fable, tomorrow will be Starfield. There’s no point in keep speculating if it’s almost a fact that everything is coming over.
Bro KI would be the best pick ever to come multiplatform, at least for me. I've been wanting to play it for a while, and if it came over it would be an amazing package to get into.
@GymratAmarillo KI is actually pretty active on both Xbox and PC. Sure it obviously isn't the biggest game, but it has more than a good number of people playing and there's a good amount of single player content as well.
Rumour: Every firstparty Xbox game on Series X/S from the past (with decent success, so no Redfall etc.) and future coming to PS5.
As I said yesterday on the Forza news, that’s a 3yr old game, and I don’t think anyone should really care if Xbox continues to port 2-3 yr old games onto PS to make some extra $. Indiana Jones is looking to be a lot closer than that but it’s a licensed IP, like The Show on Xbox, and still wasn’t day 1.
So yeah, every OLD Xbox game is on the table for a port, MS likes making money, but I need to see some day 1 releases before I think Xbox is done. Though I suppose that would require Xbox to make some games.😂
One more Xbox gen, which I like to refer to as Xbox Prime b/c the numbers and letters aren’t doing anyone any favors, and then they’re out. Which is a whole lot better than MS did w/ Zune and their phones. 😝
Would take the old Fable games
@rjejr Fable is a new game, though.
@RBMango I literally bought an Xbox just to play the original Fable, back in the day. I even bought the game first, to inspire me to save for the console. If the next Fable comes to PS (and is good!) I'll cry tears of joy 🥲
Ill buy KI day one. Still have it on Gameboy and on N64. Too bad I don't have a crt Tv anymore. Gonna have a look for some cables this weekend so I can play it on my OLED. Until that time it Will be KI on Gameboy.
@Keyblade-Dan Rumours say, there is meant to be a remaster/remake currently in development.
@rjejr day 1 will take time as this strategy has only been recently formed. So to then port games for day 1 would cause delays.
All understandable ports, especially KI considering most of the fighting game community is on PlayStation. With Gears and Halo seemingly going to come over eventually, it'd be neat if Rare Replay and the Ori games got ported as well.
Killer Instinct yayy, im finally an xbox.
Killer Instinct!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I might shed tears of joy. Holy f***.
@Max_the_German To be honest, Redfall wasn't that bad. If they fixed some bugs and improved performance, it would be a decent game on PS5. But unfortunately, damage is already done, and I doubt many people would buy it.
@trev666 Yes to all these. I'm willing to give Starfield a try for that "generation-defining" experience!
@AdamNovice Don’t know if you’ve played it or not but it’s really good, I loved it and would definitely pick it up on PS5.
Why wouldn't they? Phil said there are no lines if it means there are players and profit on another platform. I expect almost everything. Though some may be timed.
Scrolling through the comments and seeing the KI love, it’s so awesome, really hope it comes. Rare replay too with 007 Goldeneye please.
@KoopaTheGamer it was that bad though , it looked bad , played bad , everything about it was bad.
@Blauwe_Chimay The game boy port was surprisingly playable at the time, one of those impossible ports done well.
I gladly welcome Killer Instinct to PS with open arms.
@IOI Yeah, but they gotta get clicks with these articles somehow. Even though it’s the same thing repeatedly.
Written on the scrolls of elders past
a hellish saga, a fable dashed.
The gears that grind the bread of old
yearn for the oil that oblivion holds.
Forza! Record profits! To no avail.
Chasing the sunset, red falls beyond the pale
A sea of thieves, round and round
The great circle beckons, sacrifice abound
So take flight! A field of stars awaits thee
where the quantum fabric can break free
Back to black, if at all
Devils share or angels fall
Adorn our heads, a halo for one and all.
@rjejr but the new doom is on ps
It’s crazy to me that Microsoft plan on spending a fortune developing a new Xbox. Unless it has some sort of usp like the switch or the Wii I can’t see it selling well.
Fable is all I care about.
@LordFunkalot I got it on PC but didn't enjoy playing it on Steam Deck due to the controls but on a duelsense or possibly a fighting stick it'll be a lot more comfortable for me.
Fable would be great, they should release the first 3 on ps5.
Hopefully we get Avowed as well considering we're getting Outerworlds 2.
Atp no reason to believe this wont happen. Hoping sunset overdrive follows soon after. That and KI have been my most wanted games
Well MS love money and they've finally realised they can resell their portfolio to playstation fans now that the hardware division is in its death rattle.
What's not to like!
Personally Halo MCC is the one I want first.
@Jimmer-jammer that’s some mighty-fine gaming-themed poetry right there! 🤩
@lazarus11 It definitely was bad, I played through it on my series s when I had one and finished it. Really wanted to see the good in it, played it to the end but it just kinda ‘sucked’.
@AdamNovice Yea I can imagine it’s not great on a handheld. I had it back when it first come out and up to season 1/2 I had nearly all of the achievements. I loved the original KI in arcades and snes, the characters have a real appeal to them, up there with Street Fighter and MK in my opinion
I’d like to see the new perfect dark make the jump to ps5. Thought that looked decent.
It's over! Can't beat'em. You know how the rest goes. Also, THIS IS WHY EXCLUSIVES MATTER! At this point why would you even need to own an Xbox? Everything of note will soon be available on another console.
I've been extremely out of touch with the Fable series since my Xbox gamership started and ended with the original Xbox. All I remember was that game promised a ton of choice, freedom, make your own adventure and it was anything but, and that garnered a bit of criticism for Molyneux at the time.
Like what is a modern Fable game now. Does it gravitate closer to the Witcher or is it still a bit bland?
@LordFunkalot empty soulless game, I hated it , such a shame from a talented dev
I don’t understand the point of these stories. It’s like every freaking day for like the last six months. Yes, we know more Xbox games are coming. Do we need a new story for every single rumor? It’s getting ridiculous. Real announcements like FH5, sure, but a million rumors of ports? No thanks. It’s overkill.
None of those titles interest me in all honesty. Truth be told, Xbox has never had many proprietary titles that I’ve ever had much interest in at all. Only ones that spring immediately to mind are Halo, Gears Of War and Sunset Overdrive. Maybe the new Hellblade title, but other than that? Really can’t think of anything. Hopefully those make their way to PS sometime in the future……
MS ready to make lots of $$ again.
It seems there keen on releasing anything from there past with moderate success. Coupled that, and there new stuff being rumored it's almost overwhelming to think of trying to play all these games. It's like a shot of adrenaline because I never thought I'd have the opportunity to play all these games on my Playstation in my life.
@graymamba A bit of silly fun on a cold Friday 😄
Did...did you say Killer Instinct!? stop playing with my feelings this isn't funny 😳
Just gears of war for me and I’m done 👍
Id love Spliter Cell 1,2,3 & conviction, O.G trials 1,2,
All Gears of War one of my fave series ever.
Halo loads of halo games,
& Many more xbox has some amazing exclusives i hope playstation is sharing with xbox too so they can play some ps exclusives.
Haha all of a sudden these Xbox one games and new current games are good? I was told as a PS and Xbox console player, that all the Xbox games sucked and weren’t worth owning. Now the floodgates are opening and wow i can’t wait to play all these games. I mean some of you and i know you won’t need to eat crow. The same way Xbox players said Death Stranding was a walking Sim and boring and it was the best selling game on Xbox when it launched. I mean come on gamers.
I've wanted Killer Instinct forever. I've never really been a PC player then I realized Steam gives refunds. Paid like $8 bucks for KI Complete and the game runs fine on my Beelink Mini PC.
@Blauwe_Chimay KI on Game Boy had a great soundtrack. I now need to play this later!
@LordFunkalot
Much better than the the Mortal Kombat Gameboy versions.
@DonkeyFantasy
Ill have a look at it. Thanks in advance.
@nuff64
Gotta play that sabrewulf level. One of the best soundtracks EVER.
https://youtu.be/J5S9QNboucg?si=1qVG14nyVQMnQp1D
Not sure I'm interested yet in the new Fable, but I'd take the first 3. Love those games!
Jesus. So why do I own a xsx? Avowed might be the only reason at this moment....
when ps and Xbox need eachother, I never thought id see the day. I thought id be mad at that because it's shown how weak Sony and Xbox have become now but I'll get to play FH5 with people who never played it so its all good. Wouldn't mind rare replay with conkers bad Fur day and goldeneye on ps to
It's unlikely but a hypothetical Fable 2 remake coming to the PS5 would spell the end for the blue vs. green console war. This might be the start of the end for MS in terms of hardware.
@Can-You-Believe-Sith starfield is pretty good but there are some things in the game that feel like you are playing a game from 15 or 20 years ago.
@Blauwe_Chimay The MK game boy version was a crime against gaming lol 😂
Ultimate Kombo!
I'm pretty buzzing at the idea of KI on Playstation, I hope it's the full package with the older games and the soundtrack.
Has to be said though it was an Xbox One launch game, it's not exactly a trailblazer though I know it has a very commited community.
Starfield, Flight Sim, bring them on Xbox and I will gladly throw money at you
Removed - inappropriate
@Blauwe_Chimay I still have a 32" crt and trust me you don't want one. It takes up a ridiculous amount of space and gets used about twice a year. I'd sell it but even that is too much trouble
Just join forces make 1 system. And just produce games for the one console. Would save me a TON of money.
@KoopaTheGamer yeah i liked Redfall played it all the way through and completed it. good 7/10 game but it launched buggy that never helps. alot of people who hark on about it have never even given it a go they just go by everyone elses opinions
Who thought we would have seen the day when Xbox studios become the biggest publisher on PlayStation.
If nothing else it will help fill the gap from the Sony own studios GAAS totally duck up.
Say thank you to Microsoft, Sony 🤣🤣🤣
@LordFunkalot
My fingers still hurt from Kano his fatality. Fighting games with 2 attack buttons. Great times!
@Klone
Donated my old crt to charity. My oldest son is getting older and he is interested in my old consoles. Gonna look for an adapter or visit a second hand shop so we van play some oldies.
@trev666 yeah I played it at launch when it was bad, but even then I found the world very atmospheric and wanted to keep going.
That was what made its problems so disappointing, as there were flashes of brilliance and if the project had been properly managed, people would look back on it today in the same light as Death Loop.
Of all these various Xbox games officially or potentially coming to PS5, the ones I'd want to see most are Avowed and Fable. I'm getting a new PC soon so it doesn't make a difference to me personally, but these are the game I'd most feel bad about not doing as well as they could by not having access to the PS audience.
It's just stupid not to. Xbox pass gets it for free while everyone else on other platforms pay to scoop cost of the game at worst + extra. Genius
Microsoft Flight Simulator on PSVR2 would be a day one deal for me.
The port begging is hilarious. I know times have changed and kids don't care about the box under the tv as long as they can play fortnight. But fu*k y'all, we need competition and xbox have went for the dollars but without them playstations line up is pretty fu*king bare at the minute. By far the worst generation yet
@Oram77 actually buying their games is enough bone for them LOL.
What was the tweet from that guy about?
@GymratAmarillo I was trying to be nice to them lol
Basically he said first party were never coming over to PS and it was "Sony ponies" making things up......
I want Age of Empires 2 and Stalker 2. Both have been heavily rumoured but no solid release date yet. Kingdom come 2 will likely be my only major purchase this year. Not much else keeping me away from my backlog.
So sick of these articles it's literally every day now
Great to see these come to PS, but I feel like Sony lately is phoning it in, so maybe some competition is good to motivate them.
@Oram77 with all the acquisitions, they're simply too big for success on a small install base. Releasing on PS is the smart move.
I'd love to see Hellblade 2 come over! I really liked the 1st game though I've heard mixed things about the sequel. Would still love to play it with my Dualsense though!
Are any of these releases physical or is it all digital?
@Bamila That makes Gamepass a fail doesnt it. You need a enemy Platform to make revenue for the money they are bleeding through Gamepass? So its not so much a choice but a necessity to do so.
It's a good decision. Sea of Thieves proves we're buying them so keep them coming.
@rjejr outer worlds 2 and doom are day 1 and new games
Forza and possibly Fable? Shocking. If they port over the first 3 Fable games there will literally be not much point to my xbox. I only bought it for those kind of exclusives not available on Playstation.
I hope the Ori games come to PS5 at some point.
Safe to say nothing is off the table now. It’s like when they decided to go all in with PC. That means I can get all non-Nintendo AAA games on my PS5 and play indie titles on Steam because Nvidia can miss me with those GPU prices
@Dimey @lazarus11 Doom has always been on PS, no? MS made a big deal about keeping PS games on PS so I don't think that moves the needle. Outer Worlds is on Switch and PS. I know MS has bought these up but I guess I'm really only impressed when they start releasing typically exclusive Xbox games to PS. Maybe I could have worded my original post better.
@get2sammyb I'd be impressed if Fable came day 1. What Fable are they up to like 4 or 5? OK after a quick read on Wiki a lot going on there. If a new game is day 1 on PS5 I would consider that a big deal. Could be possible since it seems to run on the FH5 engine which PS5 is getting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playground_Games
@LordFunkalot Sorry for the late reply. I don't have any nostalgia for KI but I respected how it brought certain advancements to the genre like popularising rollback net code, robust training features etc. And I love some of the character designs like Shadow Jago, Spinal and Hisako.
@get2sammyb “Fable is a new game, though“
Fable delayed to 2026 looks like.
