Is there an Xbox exclusive that will not be released on PS5? This question finds its answer in Microsoft’s new approach since Satya Nadella became CEO. Following Gears of War a few weeks ago, Hellblade 2 is now confirmed to release on Sony’s console this summer. The announcement of the PS5 version comes more than a year after the game’s initial launch and has sparked discussions within both PlayStation and Xbox communities. To accompany this news, Ninja Theory promises “exciting new features” that will be revealed at a later date. This is good news for players on Xbox Series X/S and PC, as these additions will not be exclusive to PS5; instead, a free update will be rolled out simultaneously across all platforms where Hellblade 2 is currently available, marking the game’s first anniversary on May 21.
A PS5 Pro optimized version is also noteworthy: the game’s PlayStation Store listing clearly indicates that this new version will be optimized to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s capabilities, offering enhanced graphics and increased fluidity from launch. Here is the announcement video featuring the developers.
