Xbox Game Studios head says "we want our games to reach the most players that we can," signalling more PS5 releases — Microsoft is done with Xbox exclusives

Halo Studios master chief and elite.

All four of the games shown during Thursday's Xbox Developer Direct 2026 presentation are coming to PS5 as well as Xbox systems and Windows PC, with three of them — Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and Kiln — being made by first-party Microsoft developers Playground Games and Double Fine. Forza is scheduled to come to Sony's consoles at some point after launch, with both Fable and Kiln hitting PS5 day one.

Another of Xbox's big first-party 2026 titles, Halo: Campaign Evolved, is also coming to PS5; that's a first for (what was once) the brand's flagship exclusive franchise. And while it's unclear if this year's Gears of War: E-Day will launch there, too, the chances of it doing so are high given the multiplatform nature of every other recent Xbox Game Studios title.
