Sony’s September 2025 State of Play may have leaned heavily into PlayStation exclusives, but PC and Xbox games weren’t left in the shadows. From horror revivals to cult-classic returns, the show quietly packed a solid cross-platform lineup worth flagging.
PC and Xbox games that made noise during the show
While Marvel’s Wolverine might’ve taken the front seat, several multiplatform titles slipped in with new trailers and long-awaited release dates. A handful are brand-new debuts, while others are familiar faces getting fresh platforms or features.
Here’s a quick breakdown of every confirmed PC and Xbox game shown during the latest State of Play:
- Zero Parades – ZA/UM’s cryptic detective game returns with a moody new trailer. First teased at Gamescom, this follow-up to Disco Elysium continues its slow burn toward release on PS5 and Windows PC.
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – Mark your calendar: this Xbox staple is landing on PlayStation 5 on December 8, 2025. It’s technically a port, but it’s also another win for cross-platform sharing.
- Battlefield 6 – A new campaign trailer previews war-torn cityscapes and political collapse. Releasing October 10, 2025, on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5.
- Deus Ex Remastered – The original 2000 classic gets an upgrade for modern systems. It hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on February 5, 2026.
- Halloween: The Game – Developed by Illfonic, this asymmetrical horror title brings the Shape to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on September 8, 2026.
Microsoft Flight Simulator joins PC and Xbox games going multiplatform
In a move that would’ve seemed impossible a decade ago, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is coming to PlayStation. The sleek trailer shown during State of Play confirmed a December launch for PS5 players — a full console cycle after its original debut on Xbox and PC.
Microsoft continues to let some first-party titles breathe beyond its own walls, albeit selectively. And no, this isn’t cloud streaming — it’s the real thing, native and fully featured.
Zero Parades builds on the PC and Xbox games legacy of Disco Elysium
ZA/UM’s newest mystery doesn’t try to copy Disco Elysium — it builds on its DNA. The State of Play trailer for Zero Parades is sparse on plot but rich in atmosphere, with Cold War-style espionage layered over haunting detective beats.
There’s no firm release window, but the platform list includes PS5 and PC. Xbox isn’t officially confirmed, though its PC listing makes a port more likely than not.
Deus Ex Remastered brings the classic back with polish
Aspyr is reaching into the archive again, this time dusting off the original Deus Ex. The remaster was announced with a moody cinematic trailer, confirming a February 2026 launch.
The rework appears faithful, keeping the core story intact while tuning up visuals and controls. It’s headed to all three platforms — PlayStation, Xbox, and PC — for a new generation of conspiracy theorists.
PC and Xbox games continue to close the gap
With Battlefield 6 arriving across platforms and even horror entries like Halloween: The Game committing to multiplatform releases, the gap between ecosystems keeps shrinking. Even Sony’s showcases can’t hide the shift — third-party developers are going wide, not exclusive.
The next twelve months will bring plenty of reasons to keep your platform bias in check. Halloween hits harder with friends, flight sims land in new hangars, and nostalgia still sells — no matter what box it plays on.
