As we know by now Microsoft are releasing four previously console exclusive games on PS4 & PS5. Pentiment, Hi-Fi RUSH, Grounded and Sea of Thieves will all launch on PlayStation over the next 2 months.

For Microsoft the move makes perfect sense. These are games that have run their course (sales wise) on Xbox and now they are testing if there is a decent amount of money to made by making them multi-platform titles.

Chances are they will make a healthy profit from these games which is likely to open the flood games for select older Xbox games to make the jump to PlayStation.

So should Sony follow suit?

I think they should and should start with a similar offering of 4 older PlayStation games to release on Xbox.

Spider-Man
God of War
Horizon Zero Dawn
Ratchet & Clank

These are all games that are already available on PC so aren’t technically exclusive to PlayStation anymore.

So why not see if those games can find a new audience and make some extra cash for Sony by releasing them to the 25 million plus Xbox Series owners?

Like Xbox bringing games to PlayStation it can only be win everyone. Xbox players get more games to play and Sony generates extra revenue to invest in future games. There’s not really a down side I can see.

What do you think.

Would you like to see more people getting to experience Spider-Man or God of War?

    I’d say that they don’t risk much if they only sell really old games on Xbox, but 2 years old games would be risky as I’m clearly someone who could wait two years for a game with my backlog.

    I also hope that Xbox isn’t gonna disappear as a console as Sony needs some concurrency.

    I’m also hoping that Microsoft is gonna publish a Gears of War anthology in physical form on ps5, but I might be dreaming 😅
