With the confirmation of Sea of Thieves, we officially now know all four games Xbox head Phil Spencer - Hi-Fi Rush, which is also coming to PlayStation 5, Pentiment, and Grounded, both heading to PlayStation 5 as well as Nintendo Switch. In fact, Pentiment is also releasing on last-gen's PlayStation 4.

While fans had hoped bigger titles such as Starfield and the upcoming Indiana Jones game would follow suit, this won't be the case for the time being. Several rumours mentioned the Bethesda RPG would launch on PlayStation 5 but were quickly shut down.

As for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a leak mentioned that the action-adventure title would only be exclusive to Xbox consoles for just a few months before heading to PS5.

It'll remain to be seen if more Xbox Game Studios make the jump to other consoles, with their decision potentially hinging on the success of these ports.
