Summary
AnXboxversion ofLEGO Horizon Adventuresis in the works, according to a recently emerged report. The game’s purportedXboxport is reportedly planned for release in the immediate future.
Although developed by Sony subsidiary Guerrilla Games in collaboration with Studio Gobo,LEGO Horizon Adventuresis already available on non-PlayStation platforms, having been treated to a day-one release on both the Nintendo Switch and PC. Neither Guerrilla nor PlayStation have yet given any indication that even more versions of the game are in the works.
The possibility of aLEGO Horizon AdventuresXbox port was raised in a December 15 report by Algerian news outletJust Play It. In addition to claiming that the game is on its way to Xbox, JPI asserts that its debut on Microsoft’s consoles is only a few months away at most, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.LEGO Horizon Adventurescould hence reachXbox consolesbetween December 2024 and early 2025, the report concludes.
LEGO Horizon Adventures Has Seemingly Underperformed at Launch
Although JPI doesn’t have a substantial track record of credible leaks to speak of, its report gained some legitimacy after being picked up by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson,who was the first to report on the existence ofLEGO Horizon Adventuresback in May 2024. JPI speculates that an Xbox version of the game could be Sony’s response to its seemingly lackluster launch sales. According to data scraped by SteamDB,LEGO Horizon Adventurespeaked at 602 concurrent players on Valve’s platform following its mid-November 2024 debut. As such, its PC launch seems to have gone even worse thanConcord’s, making it likely that Sony’s sales targets for the game—no matter what they were—weren’t met.
Be that as it may, it’s dubious whether the game’s purported Xbox version could truly be motivated by its lackluster commercial performance. If JPI’s prediction of an early 2025 launch is accurate, the Xbox port was likely greenlit long beforeLEGO Horizon Adventureswas releasedand flopped.
Seeing a first-party PlayStation game reach Xbox consoles would be unusual, but not entirely unprecedented. The annual entries in theMLB The Showseries, developed by Sony-owned San Diego Studio, have been available on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S since 2021. All of them were even day-one Xbox Game Pass releases, even though Sony had nothing to do with that decision. Instead, it was MLB Advanced Media—an MLB subsidiary responsible for publishing the Xbox Versions—who opted to put San Diego Studio’s baseball games on Microsoft’s subscription service.
