Microsoft survey asks about Ghost of Yotei, as next Xbox console could run PS5 exclusive games

With Microsoft expanding on other platforms, the company is taking a greater interest in rival consoles. As reported by Pure Xbox, gamers using the Xbox Insider Hub app are being asked about an exclusive PS5 game. The survey focuses on Ghost of Yotei, which may become playable on the next Xbox console.

On social media, posters have shared some of the questions posed about the open-world RPG title. Many queries explore the intuitiveness of its UI and controls. It’s useful data for any developer, but some gamers wonder if the survey has greater significance.

Despite Microsoft's numerous studios, critics believe that PlayStation still has an edge in single-player projects. In 2025, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Ghost of Yotei both enjoyed critical acclaim. Meanwhile, with Game Pass a factor, Xbox games like Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 haven’t ranked as highly on sales charts.

Even with some disappointments, Xbox has found porting its titles to the PS5 to be profitable. Releases like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered have been brisk sellers on the PlayStation Store. Nevertheless, the company hasn’t been able to match the success of PS5 exclusive games like Ghost of Yotei.

The future of PS5 games on Xbox consoles

Microsoft may be looking for advice on how to create the next iconic action-RPG. However, it could also want to gauge the reception of PS5 games on the next Xbox console. Rumors indicate that the system will run on Windows, making it compatible with Steam and other marketplaces. As a result, PlayStation ports would be accessible, like with the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds.

There are also more signs from Sony that platform exclusivity has lost its luster. A dataminer recently unearthed a PS5 PC cross-buy logo, which may foretell a Windows-based PS Store launcher.

The barriers that once kept Xbox and PlayStation apart no longer seem impenetrable. As the console wars subside, the atmosphere surrounding the companies has become more collaborative than contentious.
