Since Microsoft announced that it wanted to port certain of its licenses to Sony and Nintendo consoles, speculation was rife. The gaming community was initially excited about the possible availability of AAA titles like Starfield Or Indiana Jones on their machines, before Phil Spector dashed their hopes, less than a week ago, during an official podcast.
During this event, the director gave some ideas on the selected titles: two multiplayer, two designed not necessarily to be permanent Xbox exclusives, but the four to ©being games available for over a year.
Nintendo the leaker
Since the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase on February 21, 2024, we know that Grounded And Penment are part of the selection. Indeed, images of the two titles were broadcast during the event and there is therefore no longer any doubt that they will be playable on the Nintendo Switch. We did not know the names of the other two titles, but this gap has now been filled: players will be able to try their hand at Sea of Thieves And Hi-Fi Rush in just a few weeks.
Penment is available today on Switch, PS4 and PS5. Hi-Fi Rush, it is planned for PS5 only. Pre-orders for the digital versions are already open, but the game will be playable on March 19. You will have to wait until April 16 to take advantage of Grounded on Switch, PS4 and PS5. Finally, Sea of Thieves will be deployed on PS5 only and you will have to wait until April 30 to haunt the seven seas aboard your galleon. Note that this last title will be playable in cross-play; PlayStation, Xbox and PC players will therefore be able to find themselves in the same games.
Prices have not yet been revealed, but should be available soon.
