It must be said that, for once, the rumors have turned out to be 100% true. And not only in regards to Xbox releasing its games outside of its platform, they have also succeeded in selecting which games would be the first to arrive on PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
Well, this is not entirely true, as initially there was speculation about Starfield and Indiana Jones coming to the Sony console during this 2024 and it was Phil Spencer who corrected us during his institutional podcast.
Yesterday, after a Nintendo Direct that revealed two of the four Xbox cards, it was the company itself who released a press release revealing which games would arrive this year on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. These are the games and their release dates:
Pentiment, February 22nd
Pentiment, by Obsidian Entertainment, a truly unique narrative adventure game, critically acclaimed and awarded with a stunning visual style inspired by history itself, will be coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on February 22nd.
Hi-Fi RUSH, March 19th
Hi-Fi RUSH, the award-winning and beloved rhythm-based action game where the world syncs to the music by Tango Gameworks/Bethesda Softworks, will be coming to PlayStation 5 on March 19th at midnight UTC, with pre-orders available on the PlayStation 5 digital stores on February 22nd.
