Killer Instinct or some other Xbox game lands on PS4 and PS5

Update: I cannot believe that Zack is the only one that got points on the board, making him the de facto winner of Gamescom. As a reward, he gets to have the satisfaction of knowing that this was apparently Phil Spencer’s reaction to the news that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to PS5 shortly after its launch on Xbox later this year.

Prediction: Earlier this year, after many rumors, Xbox confirmed that a handful of once-exclusive games would arrive on PlayStation and Switch. This led to Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush and a few others becoming multiplatform titles. While none of these were Halo-level big, it did show thatXbox was willing to become a more multiplatform brand moving forward. And now, there are new rumors that another Xbox game will be making the leap to PlayStation and it will be revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live.

What game will Xbox toss over the fence and let PlayStation users enjoy? We’re not sure yet. At one point it was rumored to be Forza Horizon 5, but Verge reporter Tom Warren has said that’s not the case. Warren also suggested it won’t be a Gears of War or Halo game, nor will it be Bethesda’s open-world RPG Starfield. So what could it be? It could be 2023’s Forza Motorsport, though I’m not sure Xbox wants to make that franchise multiplatform. More likely it will be something older and not as popular, like the first games that hopped over to other consoles. So I’d predict Killer Instinct or Rare Replay. There’s also the possibility that something that hasn’t launched yet, like that upcoming Indiana Jones game, gets a PS5 port. We’ll have to wait and see what Xbox is willing to share. – Zack Zwiezen
