Summary
HaloandGears of Warare coming to thePlayStation 5, an industry insider has said. With these two IPs, thePS5would end up having access to some of the largest Xbox franchises in existence.
Microsoft started moving away from its long-term pursuit of console exclusives in early 2024, when it began porting some of its first-party games to third-party platforms, specifically the PS4, PS5, and the Nintendo Switch. Continuing this trend, the company has just announced thatForza Horizon 5will be coming to the PS5.
TheForzaseries' PlayStation debut may be followed byHaloandGears of War, according to Microsoft insider Jez Corden, who said as much in a January 30 tweet. On the subject ofHalo, Corden believes thatThe Master Chief Collectionwill be the first installment in the franchise to make its way to Sony’s ecosystem. This possibility was already raised by a mid-January 2025 report from serial leaker NateTheHate, who claimed thatHalo: The Master Chief Collectionis coming to both the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
