After the console war ended at least one -sided, players on the PS5 are now happy about new games that were withheld from the Xbox for the time being. It can even be seen a trend that shows that fans, regardless of the platform, just want to have fun.
Is the console war ended? If you believe the words of Xbox boss Phil Spencer, then yes. According to him, Xbox no longer wants to give the gamers the agony of choice between the consoles, but regardless of them, no matter which platform.
For this reason, Xbox no longer tries to drive away players from the competition through exclusive titles, on the contrary even-Xbox titles should get into the PS5 shop. The plan to reach many players is working, because the latest titles of the Xbox are currently dominating the shop of its competition.

Games from Xbox dominate the PS5 shop
Which trend can be seen? If you look at the most pre-ordered games in the Playstation store, you can see that Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones are far ahead-and that’s not just in the German marketplace. The Xbox games also dominate in the US store (via theverge.com).
According to The Verge, this even applies to the Canadian and the entire European marketplace. The most popular editions are primarily the premium variants. The players therefore show through their purchase that they also play games of the competition, but do not necessarily want to change the platform for it.
Even if Xbox would earn less money to offer the players to the competition, as Phil Spencer revealed, the focus is at least the fun and that is basically the most important thing in the gaming.
It remains exciting whether Xbox will offer other titles on the PS5 and whether Sony will not even decide to publish his games on the Xbox at some point. On Steam you can play many of the exclusive titles of Sony and more should follow: Sony will soon publish more “First-Party” title on Steam, which used to be only published for PS5-2022 brought a lot of money
