Xbox titles including Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves coming to Switch and PlayStation

It’s official; Xbox games are now making their way to other console platforms, including Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

Off the back of their business update podcast last week and lots of speculation as to which games might make the jump to other platforms, it was confirmed today that Pentiment, Grounded, Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush will all be appearing elsewhere in the coming months.

In the official Xbox Wire post, President of Game Content & Studios, Matt Booty, said “At Xbox, we strive to create games that inspire, entertain, and connect players from around the world. As a publisher and platform we are committed to meeting players where they are, by bringing more games, to more people, and on more devices. And at the heart of all we do are our players, and the vibrant communities that they build around the games they love.”

Some info was shared about each game, the new platforms and release dates, with one of them available as soon as today.

• Pentiment from Obsidian Entertainment, a truly unique, critically acclaimed, and award-winning narrative adventure game with a striking visual style inspired by history itself will be coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on February 22.
• Hi-Fi RUSH, the award-winning and beloved rhythm-based action game where the world syncs to the music from Tango Gameworks/Bethesda Softworks will be coming to PlayStation 5 on March 19, with pre-purchase available on PlayStation 5 digital storefronts on February 21.
• Grounded – also from Obsidian Entertainment – a co-op survival adventure phenomenon that has welcomed 20 million players into the backyard, will be coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on April 16. Cross play will be supported across Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
• Sea of Thieves, the shared world adventure game from Rare, will be coming to PlayStation 5 on April 30 – and will be available to wishlist by PlayStation 5 players starting tomorrow, February 22. Having built a passionate community of more than 35 million players from around the world, the support of cross play for Xbox, PlayStation and PC will allow players to experience epic pirate adventures with friends on more platforms.

For Sea of Thieves in particular, this provides a real opportunity to fill the seas with a whole new bunch of players, which will give a shot in the arm to the community that has grown and been quite dedicated since the game first launched.
