Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost of Tsushima spotted on Xbox Store? That doesn’t mean these PS5 exclusives are actually coming to Xbox

by

Earlier this year, Microsoft’s decision to stop making games exclusive to Xbox and PC generated a lot of discussion. Titles like Halo and Starfield were suddenly possibilities for other platforms, and we saw Forza Horizon 5 and Gears of War: Reloaded released on PlayStation 5. This led many to speculate whether Sony would reciprocate by bringing some of *their* exclusive games to Xbox. While that hasn’t happened yet, recent Google searches have shown Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon Zero Dawn listed as potentially available on the Xbox Store, sparking questions about whether a deal is in progress.

Is Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost of Tsushima coming to Xbox?

Don’t get too excited: probably not, at least not yet. Those Google search results you’re seeing are linked to the German Xbox Store, which often has these kinds of glitches. It’s happened before – games sometimes appear in search results even when they aren’t actually available. If you click the link, it just leads to an error page on the German Xbox Store.

We’ve seen this happen before with PC releases of games like The Last of Us and Uncharted 4. When PlayStation exclusives show up in Google searches for the Xbox Store, it’s usually due to how websites are structured for search engines (SEO), not because those games are actually coming to Xbox. The Xbox Store’s search pages are publicly accessible, so Google can find and index them. Because Xbox.com is a well-established website, even simple search result pages can rank highly in Google, and in this case, the German Xbox Store page was the first one Google picked up.

When a link shows up in search results, people share it, which makes it even more visible online, even if the link doesn’t work properly. Usually, these results are just search pages or incomplete pages, not actual listings for Xbox. The appearance of these links is due to how Google organizes and displays websites, not because Microsoft is planning to release the game on Xbox. Every so often, someone finds a PlayStation game appearing in a Google search linked to the Xbox Store, and the rumor starts circulating again.
