Grounded
Platforms: PS4, PS5, Switch
Originally released as a PC and Xbox exclusive, Grounded is now headed towards the Switch and PlayStation consoles as part of Microsoft’s decision to share their game library.
Grounded is a survival game with a central protagonist who must survive in their backyard after being shrunk to the size of an ant. Playing as one of four characters, you will learn which insects are the apex predators and which are helpful and friendly.
As you traverse the backyard, you’ll open up new areas and difficulty levels that will test your survival skills to the max. Don’t worry though – while you can play solo, the game can also be played with up to 3 other people in co-operative multiplayer.

We don’t have a console release date for this action-RPG at the time of writing but PC players will be able to get their hands on the game when it enters Early Access this April.
The game is set in 1841 at a time when an untrustworthy new king is in power and pestilence is sweeping the land. You take on the role of Cerim, a holy warrior imbued with remarkable powers.

Stellar Blade
Platforms: PS5
The future of humanity hangs in the balance according to the synopsis of this upcoming action-adventure title releasing in April.
In this post-apocalyptic tale, the Earth has been abandoned after being ravaged by strange and powerful creatures. The decimated human race has fled to a Colony in outer space but there is still hope for our planet.
Unsurprisingly, you are that hope as you take on the role of 7th Airborne Squad member EVE. In the game, you will reclaim the Earth from the malevolent force that has devastated it. However, as you progress in your adventure, you will realize that your mission is far from straightforward and nothing is what it seems…
Incredible visuals, blisteringly fast combat, and an enthralling narrative are the main selling points of this futuristic adventure title.

Sea of Thieves
Platforms: PS5
Sea of Thieves is finally coming to the PS5 so Xbox owners will lose some of their bragging rights when this previously exclusive title is ported to Sony’s gaming system.
This celebrated game will let you experience life on the high seas, with treasure hunting, island conquering, and pirate fighting being just some of the activities on offer.
You are free to approach the game world in any way you like, be that alone or with the other players you meet online for cooperative and competitive gameplay.
