Microsoft is set to revolutionize the gaming landscape by expanding its legendary real-time strategy (RTS) lineup to the PlayStation 5 (PS5). In a bold move that underscores its commitment to a multiplatform strategy, the company announced that Age of Mythology: Retold will launch on PS5 on March 4, 2025—with its new Immortal Pillars expansion—while Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is scheduled to debut on the console this spring.
In an industry first, both titles will support full cross-play across Xbox, PC, and PS5, allowing fans to unite on a single global battlefield. “Playing across all platforms is a game-changer for our franchise, and it’s all about bringing our community together,” said Michael Mann, head of World’s Edge. Alongside these major ports, Microsoft is also set to boost its strategy portfolio further by releasing double DLC for Age of Empires 4. The first of these, titled “Knights of Cross and Rose,” will arrive in spring 2025, promising a host of new units, buildings, and game modes that will refresh the competitive experience.
This breaking news follows closely on the heels of similar multiplatform releases such as Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. With pre-orders already open for premium editions offering early access and exclusive in-game bonuses, the timing could not be better for strategy enthusiasts eager to experience these timeless classics on Sony’s cutting-edge hardware. The expanded availability of these titles not only demonstrates Microsoft’s evolving business model but also highlights a broader industry trend toward cross-platform unity.
Stay tuned for more updates as these launch dates approach, and join the conversation on Microsoft’s official Age of Empires website for the latest news and announcements. This is one of the biggest PS5 news stories of the year, promising to reshape how gamers experience some of the most beloved franchises in history.
