The host battle may end! Foreign media analysis exclusively plays a cross-platform wave of games!

　　The console war seems to be coming to an end - On August 26, PlayStation will simultaneously launch its exclusive masterpiece on the Xbox platform, and on the same day, Xbox will also bring its iconic series to PS5. Once upon a time, the two major host giants were still in a row: competing for third-party limited-time exclusiveness and monopolizing content priority for popular IPs such as "Call of Duty". But with the change in the gaming industry, this battle for hardware dominance is coming to an end.

　　Since the Xbox 360 era, Microsoft console sales have continued to be sluggish, and Xbox Series X/S has not been able to reverse the decline; and the glory created by Sony PS4 has been continued in the PS5 era. Exclusive content is the core weapon to attract users, but last year Xbox took the lead in breaking the barriers and porting many games to PlayStation and Switch platforms, which will accelerate in 2025.

Earlier this year, "Haini Ark: Ancient Circle" and "Force Raiders: Horizon 5" landed on PS5 (the latter was unprecedentedly successful), but Sony has never responded - until now. On August 26, "Jedi 2" released by PlayStation will be launched on the Xbox platform. This explosive news may pave the way for more PS-exclusive games to cross-platforms, at least indicating that Sony is willing to open multiplayer online service games to its competitors. More symbolic is that on the same day, "Gears of War: Reinstalled" will be launched on PS5, marking the first time this TPS ace series has landed on Sony consoles. The day of breaking the ice between the two mortal enemies can be called the "hell freezing moment" in the history of the game.

　　"Gears of War: Reloading" and "Jedi Soldier 2" will not only log on to the other party's platform simultaneously, but will also realize the full platform cross-online function - this was once an out-of-reach dream for players. PS5 players can team up with Xbox players to fight against the multiplayer battlefield of "Gears of War", and Xbox players can also join the interstellar battle of "Jedi 2".

In the future, PlayStation players are expected to usher in more Xbox games. It is rumored that the leaked "Hao 1 Remake" will be launched on PS5. Although the number of Sony's first-party works on Xbox is unclear, "Jedi 2" may be just the tip of the iceberg. This host war that lasted for 20 years is being rewritten by cross-platform waves.
