Those games that nail their gameplay in first person become talked about for all times. When games nail what they're trying to do, being first person is ALWAYS unique and memorable. I know console focused players are usually enamored with 3rd person because thats the only thing they knew on consoles. Just as having the best perspective of all, first person. PS5 exclusives vs.Im sure it will be focused on being action adventure. Then again, PlayStation will have God of War: Ragnarök, Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy XVI, to name a few. Things could change in the future, however, as Microsoft has a bevy of exclusives planned for the next few years, including Hellblade 2: Senua’s Saga, State of Decay 3, Fable 4, Starfield, The Outer Worlds 2, Avowed and more. Exclusive titles are a useful point of comparison, but it’s fair to say that they’re a much more important part of Sony’s strategy than Microsoft’s, at least for now. Xbox Game Pass ties all these disparate platforms together.

Microsoft has focused on building up a comprehensive ecosystem, which plays nicely with PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Android, iOS and non-gaming PCs. Fewer than half of the games on the list absolutely, positively require a PS5 to play, and Sony plans to support the PS4, in some capacity, through at least 2024.Īnother point to consider is that Microsoft is purposely not pursuing exclusives to the same degree as Sony this generation.

Certain games, such as Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, have PS4 editions, but not PS5 editions, making the Xbox version seem more compelling, too.īy the same token, it’s important to remember that few PS5 exclusives are actually, well, exclusive to the PS5. This program gives backwards-compatible titles a huge boost on Xbox. The “optimized for Xbox Series X/S” program also complicates matters. If you want low-cost, low-budget titles and don’t feel like shelling out for a PC, the Xbox (or the Switch) is the place to go. The PlayStation has traditionally had a mercurial relationship with indie titles, whereas Microsoft went all-in on indie publishing years ago. Experimental limitationsĪs mentioned above, this piece is focused on titles from major publishers, which is what gamers usually think of when they think of “exclusives.” The complete picture is significantly more complex than that, once you take indies into account. There’s also a lot of variety on display here: an open-world racing game, a first-person shooter and an old-school flight sim.

We can at least say that Forza Horizon 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator are excellent games, and Halo Infinite is a pretty darn good one. With such a small sample size, it seems difficult to draw meaningful conclusions about Xbox Series X exclusives in general. (The indie scene is quite different, but there are thousands of indie games available on PC, Xbox and Switch - comparing availability among all of the platforms would be a whole project in and of itself.) Many “optimized for Xbox Series X/S” games came out years ago, and Microsoft seems more committed to building up its ecosystem than releasing console exclusives. What struck me while researching Xbox Series X/S exclusives is just how few of them there are - at least from major publishers. Their score averages out to 4 out of 5 on our review scale, which we would consider “great.” On Metacritic, their score averages out to 88 out of 100, which is considered “generally favorable reviews.” In terms of metrics, Tom’s Guide has reviewed all three of these games. Overall, Sony has had a strong showing so far - even if relatively few of these games are truly “PS5 or bust.” Xbox Series X/S exclusivesīased on our definition above, the Xbox Series X/S has three major exclusive games: But that’s not a majority, let alone an overwhelming one.
Third-person action/adventure skews a bit heavy, admittedly, with five titles following similar formulas. There’s a fair amount of variety here, with everything from first-person shooters to vehicular combat sims. But just about everything else on the list is a best-in-class experience, from the intricate clockwork world of Deathloop, to the instantaneous dimension-hopping in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Destruction AllStars was a bit of a dud, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure is probably not a kids’ game for the ages. In terms of overall quality, it’s hard to argue with the PS5’s output so far. But it’s good to have a numerical metric as a baseline. Granted, review scores aren’t everything, so take these for what they’re worth. Their score averages out to 4 out of 5 on our review scale, which we would consider “great.” On Metacritic, their score averages out to 80 out of 100, which is considered “generally favorable reviews.” In terms of metrics, Tom’s Guide has reviewed 10 of these games. Based on our definition above, the PS5 has 12 major exclusive games:
