Definitive Edition is likely coming to PlayStation – WGB

Must Read


Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition looks set to be the next Xbox “exclusive” coming to Sony’s machine. This would be one of those moments where history comes full circle, as there was actually a PS2 port of the original game back in 2001 that I played the crap out of, despite not knowing what I was doing. And honestly, I still don’t know what I’m doing in Age of Empires 2 to this day, but I’m having a good time nonetheless.

People have started noticing people with PlayStation symbols next to their names in Age of Empires 2 multiplayer lobbies, indicating that the game is being tested.

The two Age of Empires players spotted above are both genuine accounts that can be tracked on AOEInsights.com. Unfortunately, I can’t find any information that could indicate they are developers or any more specifics.

Of course, it’s possible this is some sort of strange glitch, although it would be a rather peculiar one as the PlayStation icons couldn’t exist within the game without them being added.

However, Age of Empires 2 coming to PlayStation would line up with what Tom Warren of The Verge said 5 months ago.

“Microsoft has a busy fall ahead for Xbox, with Bethesda currently targeting September for its Starfield Shattered Space expansion, and Age of Mythology: Retold is tracking for an early September release, too,” said Warren at the time.

“As part of Project Latitude, Microsoft has also been considering launching Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on rival consoles in early 2025, and its upcoming remastered spinoff, Age of Mythology: Retold, could come, too.”

His information proved to be true, as Shattered Space did launch in September, along with Age of Mythology: Retold. Given that he was correct about those, it lends a lot of weight to the idea that Age of Empires will make its way to PlayStation to join the likes of Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, Pentiment and Sea of Thieves.
