Thanks toXbox’s latest ad campaign, the gaming giant’s new approach to business isn’t a secret. Unlike PlayStation, which often opts for exclusivity deals for its consoles, the Microsoft-owned company has decided to go down a different route, beginning to bring its first-party titles to other platforms.

Given its handling of first-party games, it isn’t too surprising to find out that the third-party titleDungeons of Hinterbergwill be the latest to arrive on Sony’s flagship console.
In a new Twitter post, Microbird Games revealedDungeons of Hinterberg’s March 13 launch date for the PS5.
