Summary
Where there is smoke, there is usually a fire, and in the case ofXboxexclusives making their way beyondMicrosoft’sflagship console, then things can best be described as a full-on blaze.In the almost year since the likes of Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves jumped ship, things have only expanded.
Earlier this week,it was revealed that Forza Horizon 5 would be released on PlayStation 5 later this spring. Then,rumors began swirling about a Gears of War trilogy remaster that would also launch on PS5. This batch of news follows upprevious rumors from January about Halo Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator also jumping ship.
Now, in the latest batch of rumors, it appears that the upcomingPerfect Darkreboot,which saw a re-reveal during last year’s Xbox’s Game Showcase, will also be released on multiple platforms.
Joanna Dark, Welcome To PlayStation
As first spotted on Reddit’s Gaming Leaks And Rumours subreddit, a new job posting on LinkedIn for a Principal Graphics Engineer at The Initiative — the studio currently working on Perfect Dark — has been created.
On its own, the posting isn’t all too interesting,but the real juicy information lies within the Responsibilities and Preferred Experience sections. In the former, it’s written that the hire will “Optimize and ensure the scalability of the rendering features to support multiple platforms and quality settings.”
Meanwhile, in the latter, it is listed that someone with “Experience with multi-platform development” is being sought after. All of that shouldn’t be too surprising giventhat Phil Spencer intimated that no game was off limits for a PS5 port back in November. Most recently, Spencershared that the Switch 2 will be supported by Xbox games, whilealso not ruling out a Starfield port in a separate interview. In other words, Perfect Dark looks to be following the course that’s been charted.
