Xbox is on its way to deliver huge information, as the next-gen console is getting three new PlayStation exclusives this year. The franchise has shaken hands with an indie company as their contracts with Sony have lapsed. Fans will be able to enjoy three new titles that the companies have decided to release across five months. 

Xbox did an exclusive showcase alongside Bethesda a month back, where they revealed some crucial information about their future. However, they could not reveal info about their upcoming partnership as their other half, Annapurna Interactive, missed the grand event. As a result, the latter hosted its annual showcase days later, revealing the massive partnership between the two giants. 

Fans enthralled as Xbox is dropping three new PlayStation exclusives after a contract lapse

Anapurna Interactive has previously developed three games: The Pathless, Maquette, and Solar Ash. They partnered with the Japanese giant Sony to release them on their platform, ultimately making it a PlayStation exclusive.

Now, with little time left before a contract lapse, the franchise has decided to end the deal and form a new one. This time, Annapurna is partnering with Xbox to drop these games on the green console. Popular video game informant Kotaku has revealed this information, as they put out a dedicated Twitter post for the same.

The Pathless is an “atmospheric archery action game” that is set to release in Winter on Xbox. As of now, there has been no information about its release date, as the franchise has made no official announcement. Interestingly, the game will not just drop on Xbox but also on Switch.

Just like The Pathless, Maquette is also set to drop in winter on both Xbox and Switch. Apart from this, Xbox has also decided to add the game to the Xbox game pass, as they feel that the game would gain quick popularity. After all, it is a “recursive puzzler with a heartbreaking narrative,” something that we don’t generally come across.

The last game to hit the Xbox stores is Solar Ash. This sci-fi game will release on Xbox game pass alongside PC. Its developers have set a December 6 release date as they plan to drop it in the last month of the year. As of now, the game is available only in the Epic Games Store, limiting itself to a few users.
