It looks like you can’t walk more than 100ft without tripping over another Xbox game being announced for PS5. Last week Forza Horizon 5 was announced to be making the drive over to Sony’s machine this year, and now two more Xbox exclusives are doing the same.
RTS games Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition and Age of Mythology: Retold have been announced for PS5.
“I’m delighted to share that we are giving fans more choice to play where they want by bringing Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Age of Mythology: Retold to PlayStation 5,” Writes Michael Mann on the official website.
“Playing across all platforms is a game-changer for our franchise, and it’s all about bringing our community together. This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about growing and strengthening the Age community. With cross-play, we’re creating one global battlefield where every strategy, every empire, and every player matters.”
Age of Mythology: Retold will make the trip first, arriving on March 4th, the same day that the game’s new Immortal Pillars expansion launches. There will also be a premium edition offering 5 day early access.
Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition will follow but has a much vague “Spring” release date. Age of Empires 2 will also launch alongside a major new expansion which is currently being kept under wraps.
Both games will feature crossplay, letting PC, Xbox and PlayStation gamers wage war against each other.
