PS5's Most-Preordered Games Are Half Xbox Titles Now

A wave of Xbox and Bethesda titles is flooding the PS5 market, currently occupying roughly half of the PlayStation Store's top 15 most pre-ordered games (considering multiple editions of the same game). The key titles include:

1. Forza Horizon 5 Premium
2. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Premium
3. Forza Horizon 5 Standard
4. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Standard
5. F1 25
6. Death Stranding 2 Deluxe
7. Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe
8. Mindseye
9. Days Gone Remastered
10. DOOM: The Dark Ages Premium
11. Expedition 33 Deluxe
12. Forza Horizon 5 Deluxe
13. Elden Ring Nightreign
14. DOOM: The Dark Ages Standard
15. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater Deluxe

This highlights the varied release strategies employed by Microsoft: Indiana Jones represents a timed exclusive (releasing April 14th), Forza Horizon 5 (April 25th) exemplifies a later release of an established Xbox title (originally launched in 2021), and DOOM: The Dark Ages (May 12th) showcases a simultaneous release on both platforms.

Microsoft's strategy of releasing first-party games on PlayStation is increasingly clear, although the timing—ranging from launch day to years later—remains somewhat unpredictable. Internal reports suggest a PS5 version of Starfield (Bethesda's 2023 flagship) may arrive before year's end. This raises speculation about similar releases for Avowed, especially given its apparently underwhelming player base. The future of The Elder Scrolls VI is highly anticipated, with a simultaneous release or a timed exclusive likely, rather than remaining Xbox-exclusive.

The current situation is unprecedented. While Microsoft seems committed to this multi-platform approach, it remains a unique strategy in the gaming industry.
