Xbox fans have been delivered some great news, with a number of hit PS4 and PS5 exclusives crossing over to the Xbox Series X, S and Xbox One. So far this generation has been a fascinating one, with Microsoft and Xbox arguably having their best era since the Xbox 360 and providing stiff competition to Sony and PlayStation. One of the main complaints levelled during the Xbox One era was the perceived lack of exclusives, which Sony has long had the bragging rights for.
This time around though things are very different, thanks to Microsoft’s investments in its studios, acquisitions and deals it has struck with third-parties.
And in a big boost to the Xbox games list, it’s just been announced that two PlayStation exclusives will be making its way over to Microsoft’s side soon.
The first of which is Deathloop, the Arkane Studios developed title which launched as a PS5 exclusive in September 2021.
Deathloop was one of the big PS5 exclusives in the console’s first year on sale, featuring during a number of Sony events like the PS5 reveal in June 2020 as well as State of Play broadcasts.
Deathloop – which is published by Bethesda who Xbox now owns – will be heading to Xbox Game Pass on Tuesday September 20.
