Deathloop is the stylish shooter on the way from Arkane Studios, set to release later this year on PlayStation 5 and PC. The gorgeous game was shown off heavily in the most recent PlayStation State of Play on July 8, and as gamers have been seeing more of the title (which continues to look fantastic by the way) there is a question on many fans' lips: when is it coming to Xbox?
As reported by Metro, though Deathloop is a PlayStation 5 exclusive at launch, it won't be that way forever. As you might know, Arkane Studios is actually owned by Bethesda, which is owned by ZeniMax Media which is now owned by Microsoft. The chain of companies means that Xbox definitely has an interest in having the game on its platform but the limited exclusivity is getting in the way.
Here is the gameplay preview for Deathloop...
So how long do PlayStation gamers have to brag about having Arkane's newest project? Well, it seems exclusivity ends on September 14, 2022 - a year after the release date. This doesn't confirm that Xbox will be releasing Deathloop on its platforms that day, but it seems likely that it will want to port it over as soon as it can.

Though Deathloop hasn't come out yet, it's quickly shaping up to look groundbreaking in terms of style, level design, and action. The time-bending FPS follow Colt as he battles his way through the Blackreef to kill the eight leaders of the island to stop the time loop he is caught in. Everyone here wants him dead including rival assassin Julianna who seems to have a personal relationship with Colt. What that means, or if Colt will ever truly be able to escape this hell is yet to be seen when the game releases this September.
We've already had a little preview of Deathloop which you can read here.
