Xbox Game Pass Users Surprised With PlayStation Games

By Tyler Fischer

Between console exclusives, former exclusives, and games made by Sony itself, the next few weeks are an interesting few weeks for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. It begins on March 21, when a former PS4 console exclusive, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom comes to Xbox consoles for the first time and releases into the Xbox Game Pass library at the same time. Not only was Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom a PS4 console exclusive when it released, by the series is widely associated with PlayStation. A few days later MLB The Show 23, a game made by a PlayStation studio and published by Sony, will release on March 28. When it does, it will be available via Xbox Game Pass. And lastly, a few weeks after this, on April 12, current PS5 console exclusive, Ghostwire: Tokyo will come to Xbox consoles, and again, on day one, will be available via Xbox Game Pass. 

MLB The Show 23 coming to Game Pass isn't surprising as it used to be now that it's done so in the past and is multi-platform. However, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom coming to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox consoles in general is more of a surprise. Ghostwire: Tokyo was always going to come to both given that it's a Bethesda game, which is owned by Xbox, but nobody knew when until this week when the April 12 date was revealed.  If you're unfamiliar with any of these games or all of them, you can read more about each below. Further, there is also a trailer for each game as well.
