PS5 players must link their PlayStation Network account to a Microsoft account to play the open-world racing sim next month.
Ahead of its launch on April 29th for Sony's console, Playground Games' open-world racer is already seeing strong pre-orders.
The open world racer will feature 30 FPS and 60 FPS modes on the PS5, while PS5 Pro enhancements have also been officially confirmed.
A prominent leaker has claimed that the RPG could get a day-and-date release on PS5 alongside Xbox Series X/S and PC next year.
The roughly 51 seconds of new gameplay also showcases Albion's various environments, from immaculate cities to vibrant forests.
“What I want to assure people of, is that it’s definitely worth the wait," said Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan about the action RPG.
While its biggest exclusives launching on other platforms may spell the end of an era, the Xbox brand may see a successful new beginning.
The rumour alleges that Microsoft will follow a cross-platform release strategy for Playground's upcoming fantasy action RPG.
The PS5 won't be the only new platform that Microsoft's acclaimed open-world racer heads to later this year, per a known leaker.
The acclaimed open-world racer arrives on PS5 alongside Horizon Realms, a new update featuring "previously released Evolving Worlds."
The company has Fable, The Outer Worlds 2, Avowed, DOOM: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, and Towerborne officially lined up for next year thus far.
Currently, Microsoft has officially dated Avowed, South of Midnight, Fable, and DOOM: The Dark Ages for 2025, none of which have been delayed, an insider claims.
It's unknown when Playground's open-world racing title could come to PS5, but Microsoft reportedly believes it can do "quite well."
Microsoft's rollout of first-party titles on rival platforms could continue soon with a major announcement in the coming days, it's claimed.
The developer's HQ continues to focus on the Forza Horizon games, with the other two offices focusing on the upcoming Fable.
Following the announcement that it will be delisted in December, the open world racer has nearly doubled its all-time concurrent users peak on Steam.
Starting December 15, digital copies of the open world racer will no longer be available for purchase, nor will it be available via Game Pass.
The fantasy action RPG is still about a year and a half away from release, it's been claimed in a fresh report.
It was first reported in 2022 that the Deus Ex studio had been brought on board the project to provide development support.
A new trailer offers another look at the upcoming fantasy action RPG, with a 2025 release window also confirmed.
