Is Avowed destined for PS5 eventually? (Xbox Game Studios)Considering Microsoft has said there are no red lines when it comes to bringing Xbox games to other platforms, its very likely well see other Xbox exclusives ported to PlayStation 5 and Nintendos next console beyond those listed above in the future. As for new games, theres the likes of South Of Midnight, Avowed, State Of Decay 3, and Towerborne, which could be released on other platforms down the line. Probably the only reason they havent been announced so far is that theyre from smaller studios that would find it harder to work on multiple versions simultaneously.The opportunity for a bigger audience might also lead to the return of some forgotten gems as well, like Halo Wars, Sunset Overdrive, and Gears Tactics.More TrendingIf Microsoft digs particularly deep, classic franchises like Viva Piata, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and Fuzion Frenzy could also be resurrected although that is perhaps wishful thinking.
