3 Xbox games look set to come to PS5 and PS5 Pro this November. Xbox games have been increasingly coming to the PS5 as part of Microsoft’s expanding multi-platform strategy, so this news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. That said, three all coming in the same month is less common. In this case, not all three releases come from Xbox Game Studios, but all three are currently exclusive to the Microsoft machine, or at least console exclusive, as Microsoft now releases its games on PC at launch.

Below, you can check out all three of these Xbox games coming to PS5 in two months. Two of these games are confirmed with confirmed release dates, while the other has not been officially announced yet; however, the information comes from one of the best sources in the industry.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Developed and published by CSG Game World, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the fourth game in the first-person shooter series, and the first since 2009 when it hit in November of 2024. When it was released, it was only available on Xbox Series X and PC. Now it is coming to PS5 on November 25.
The first-person shooter with both survival and horror elements boasts a 73 on Metacritic, however, this is perhaps selling the game a bit short. When the long-awaited sequel was released, it had serious performance issues and was missing some key features from previous games. Much of this has been fixed with several updates to the game, though. Suffice to say, PS5 users are getting a much better product at launch than Xbox fans did. When it releases, it will cost $59.99 and come with PS5 Pro Enhancements.
Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition
Age of Empires IV was released by Relic Entertainment, World’s Edge, and Xbox Game Studios back in 2021 as the fourth installment in the series, and the first not from series creator, Ensemble Studios. Upon release, the real-time strategy game earned a very solid 81 on Metacritic.
When the game releases on PS5 on November 4, it will be in the form of the Anniversary Edition, which is pitched as an enhanced version of the original game, complete with some content released in the post-launch period. It costs $39.99 on the PlayStation Store, and right now, there is no word of PS5 Pro Enhancements.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has not been officially announced to be coming to PS5 in November, but that is what a new report from Nate the Hate, a very reliable source, claims.
Developed by Asobo Studio and published by Xbox Game Studios, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is the sequel to 2020’s Microsoft Flight Simulator. However, where the latter was universally praised, the former has not been as fortunate. While it boasts a solid 77 on Metacritic, its 2/5 on the Microsoft Store and “Mixed” rating on Steam paint a better picture of the game’s underwhelming reception. Unfortunately, unlike Stalker 2, it hasn’t been improved that much since launch, especially on console.
