Zenless Zone Zero's PS5 Console Exclusivity Is Coming to an End 1

Sony had dibs on HoYoverse’s hottest new urban action RPG Zenless Zone Zero, but the title’s period of PS5 console exclusivity is coming to an end.

After originally teasing an Xbox release in what many interpreted as an April Fool’s Day joke, now the Chinese developer has announced a livestream where it’ll officially reveal the port alongside other “exciting new updates”.

The good news for PS5 players is that there’ll likely be onboarding events and other rewards for newcomers, which will need to be offered to everyone due to the release’s cross-platform nature. That means there’s the possibility of free pulls and five stars, as well as redemption codes.

Back when Genshin Impact released on the Xbox Series X|S, the developer handed out a free glider for those playing on Microsoft’s machine, but that’s since been unlocked for everyone.

We’d expect the Xbox port to launch alongside the game’s first anniversary, which will occur in early July. It’s perhaps worth noting that Sony only had six-month console exclusivity on the title to begin with, but it can take time for these types of ports to materialise.

Eventually we’d expect all of HoYoverse’s games to be available everywhere, including the Nintendo Switch 2, but Sony’s initial courting of the developer has served it well here – PlayStation feels like the de facto home for console gacha games these days.
