The ports of older titles are even outselling heavy hitters like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and the baseball MLB series at the top end of the sales chart.<\/p>\n

Pulling together our huge Q2 Games Market Dynamics report, which includes this chart (among, like, frankly too many others) and just kinda stared at this one for a bit.<\/p>\n

Wild times in the console market these days. Imagine showing this list to someone in 2015.<\/p>\n

More ports of Xbox games are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks, but even without those reveals, we know the likes of Gears of War: Reloaded<\/a> and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2<\/a> are coming across this summer. Rumours suggest Microsoft is also working on PS5 versions of Starfield<\/a>, Halo<\/a>, and more. Based on the huge sales boost a PS5 port can give a game, it’s clear to see why Microsoft is persisting with its multi-platform efforts.<\/p>\n

There’s the possibility Sony could be getting in on the act too, as Helldivers 2<\/a> has already been announced for Xbox Series X|S. More recently, a PlayStation job listing suggested the company is looking into more ports<\/a>, but was later played down by a reliable insider.<\/p>\n

Have you been supporting the Xbox game ports to PS5 with purchases? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
