Xbox exclusive Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 will make the jump to PlayStation 5, Microsoft has confirmed, as the company continues its plan for multiplatform releases

Ready to reunite with Senua, PlayStation fans?

Microsoft has fully embraced its multiplatform future, with everything from Forza Horizon 5 to Gears of War bound for PlayStation.

While Sony hasn't reciprocated just yet, making it the only console with the likes of God of War and The Last of Us, Team Green keeps putting its games on PS5, albeit with a delay from the original Xbox launch in most instances.

So, which title is next? Why it's 2024's Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, of course, which is already available on Xbox and PC. Not only will those versions gain extra features through a patch (although we don't know what those are just yet), but Sony's expensive PS5 Pro will get additional features.

That could make it the best place to play the Xbox game, just like Forza Horizon 5's superlative port.

Hellblade 2 is already a stunning game

"Senuas Saga: Hellblade II arrives optimized for PlayStation 5, and PS5 Pro Enhanced, with added features and immersive haptic feedback for new ways to experience the award-winning and critically acclaimed next chapter of Senuas story," the PlayStation Store listing says.

While we don't know what the PS5 Pro features will be at this point, the fact that the more powerful system will offer features above and beyond the Xbox version may irk some fans of Microsoft's console.

The game will also include Sony's Game Help feature, according to the listing.

The first Hellblade, Senua's Sacrifice, was launched on PS4 and Xbox One in 2017, with developer Ninja Theory being acquired by Xbox the following year.

"The sequel to the award winning Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice, Senua returns in a brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland," the game's product description explains.

"Intent on saving those who have fallen victim to the horrors of tyranny, Senua faces a battle of overcoming the darkness within and without."

In our review, we called Hellblade 2 a "stunning interactive movie", but acknowledged it was perhaps lacking in terms of gameplay.
