What’s new in the gaming world in March
With all the speculation about Xbox gaming titles coming to other platforms, we finally got the official word from Phil Spencer. There are only a few games coming to other platforms. Things can always change but this is what is happening now.
Starting Feb. 22 the Xbox studio title Pentiment will be released on Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5. Obsidian Entertainment’s game Grounded will be coming to Nintendo Switch,PS4 and PS5 on April 16. Xbox confirmed that cross platform on all platforms is possible.
The final game coming is multiplayer seafaring pirate Sea of Thieves coming to PS5 on April 30. This game again will offer cross platform play between PC, PS5 and Xbox players. All these games will offer other platforms a small collection of great games.
The rumours that huge titles like Starfield are coming to other platforms seems to be false. Offering these games on other platforms will not only give other console owners a chance to play and love these games, but also bring in extra revenue to create new games in the future. Xbox is also not getting out of the hardware space anytime soon.
There will likely be another revision of the Xbox Series X in the coming year or so.
As for the rumoured Switch 2, this likely won’t come to gamers until next year.
March is another month of new games coming to Game Pass service.
