Xbox exclusives

What are exclusives?

As gamers, we all own different platforms that we use to play video games. There are many options nowadays to play games on and the most popular platforms are Xbox, Playstation, and the Nintendo Switch. All these platforms are different from one another in some way. But the main reason people tend to go for one platform rather than the other is for exclusive games. So what are Playstation exclusives and Xbox exclusive games? Exclusives are video games that are only available on one single platform. They can only be played on the platform that they were originally developed for.

Why are games kept as exclusive?

One of the biggest reasons that people tend to buy a specific console every time a new version of that console is released is because of the exclusives they have. For this specific reason, companies make their first-party games exclusive to their platform in order to boost their console sales. However, sales of exclusives like Playstation exclusives and Xbox exclusive games will be lower because people on all platforms can’t buy them and so they can’t play the game if they don't have that platform on which the game is released.

Will PlayStation exclusives also go multi-platform?

Sony’s chairman, Hiroki Totoki also recently announced a change in their business strategy regarding PlayStation exclusive games. He claimed that their first-party content could be expanded upon significantly if they adopt a multi-platform approach for Playstation exclusives. Although many popular PlayStation exclusives like God of War 2018, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves, and The Last of Us Part 1 are already available on PC, Sony will start bringing even more Playstation exclusives to other platforms and not just PC.

Overview of Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush

Sea of Thieves

Sea of Thieves is one of the 4 Xbox-exclusive games coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The game is also already available on PC. Sea of Thieves is an action-adventure game that was released back in March 2018. The player assumes the role of a pirate in a first-person perspective and explores the huge world via a pirate ship. The game contains a multiplayer aspect in which players can either play with each other or go against each other in naval battles.

Grounded

Grounded is the second Xbox-exclusive game coming to PS5 and the Switch. Grounded is a first and third-person perspective survival game that was released as early access in July 2020. The full game was released in September 2022. In Grounded, you play as one of the four main characters known as Max, Pete, Willow, and Hoops who have been shrunk and are now stuck in their own backyard. Players must work together to craft tools and build a base to be able to remain safe from the horrors of the dangerous insects that are roaming around.

Pentiment

Pentiment is an adventure RPG that was released in November 2022 by Obsidian Entertainment. The game is played from a 2d perspective in which you take control of a journeyman artist who becomes involved in a bunch of murder mysteries. IGN’s Pentiment review praised the game for its time pressure mechanic and Pentiment walkthrough videos on YouTube also gave good Pentiment reviews.

Hi-Fi Rush

The last of the Xbox-exclusive games to be going multi-platform is Hi-Fi Rush. Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm-based action game where players take control of Hai, the protagonist. In the Hi-Fi Rush, the combat loop revolved around the rhythm of the music being played. Attacking an enemy on beat allows players to deal more damage with their attacks. The game also has a parry mechanic due to which you can cancel an incoming enemy attack by timing your button presses. The Hi-Fi Rush steam version is already out and soon you will also be able to play the Hi-Fi Rush PS5 version.
