Xbox’s Age of Mythology and Age of Empires II Are Coming to PS5

Microsoft plans to release two of its popular game series – Age of Mythology: Refreshed and Age of Empires II: Complete Edition – on PlayStation 5 in 2025. In an effort to expand the reach of their games beyond Xbox and PC, Microsoft is eliminating exclusivity limitations. If you’ve been eagerly anticipating these classic real-time strategy games for PlayStation 5, your wait nearly ends next year.

Kicking things off, Age of Mythology: Refreshed will launch for PS5 on March 4, 2025. This revamped edition of the 2002 original offers enhanced graphics, streamlined gameplay, and a wealth of fresh content, including the highly-awaited Immortal Pillars expansion. The expansion introduces the Chinese pantheon with new deities, legendary troops, and a nine-stage campaign inspired by Chinese mythology.

The launch of Immortal Pillars’ official debut has scheduled the release to let PlayStation gamers instantly dive into the expansion from the very first day. In spring 2025, the Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition will become accessible on PS5, encompassing the original game, its expansions, and graphical enhancements. This version guarantees a more seamless gaming experience and an abundance of fresh content.

Players can anticipate the arrival of fresh civilizations, extra downloadable content packages, and enhancements to the Ranked mode features. Microsoft has subtly suggested new DLC and civilizations for this game, but exact details are still kept confidential. Regardless of whether you play on PS5, Xbox, or PC, you’ll enjoy the same gameplay experience complete with all the updates and content additions.

This victory is significant for gamers who’ve long advocated for cross-platform gameplay, as it unites everyone in a shared, worldwide arena. Notably, Xbox has recently made some of its games, such as Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, available on PS5. This development is truly electrifying news for strategy game enthusiasts.

1) The Age of Empires series has experienced remarkable expansion, boasting a staggering 60 million global players. For those eager to delve into Age of Mythology: Remastered, pre-orders are now available on the PlayStation Store. The Premium Edition grants early access and special perks, but the standard version offers ample access to a vast world brimming with fresh content as well.
