DOOM: The Dark Ages and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Set for PS5 Pro Enhancement
The migration of Xbox first-party games to rival platforms has been picking up steam since Microsoft opened the floodgates back in early 2024, with a slew of titles, from smaller games like Towerbone to highly-touted releases such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, already making the jump or in the works to go multi-platform. The strategy has sparked widespread speculation about Microsoft’s ultimate goal in making some of its most popular first-party games available on competing consoles.
For Sony, PS5 Pro enhancements go beyond upgrading Xbox games that have shifted onto its platform. They also serve to elevate PlayStation-exclusive titles, such as visual powerhouses Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and The Last of Us Part 1, delivering enhanced esthetics and improved performance. By reaching into its vast catalog of games and giving them a touch up, Sony and game developers are making good use of the PS5 Pro's upgraded hardware.
With the release of the next-generation Xbox console rumored for late 2026 and Microsoft's much-talked about entry to the handheld gaming arena also on the horizon, Xbox fans have a lot to be excited about. For gamers as a whole, the ability to play a greater range of games across consoles is also good news, especially when they get a digital facelift from PS5 Pro enhancement.
