The best PlayStation and Xbox exclusives

Choosing between PlayStation and Xbox can be challenging. Both offer many features and advantages and are excellent consoles.

If you can only buy one, an effective way of deciding which would be the best choice is by looking at what exclusive titles each offers.

If one has a set of exclusives that looks particularly appealing, this is probably the best console for you – after all, the point of a gaming console is to game.

We have therefore compiled a list of the most notable exclusives found on PlayStation 4 and 5 and Xbox One and Series X/S to aid you in the decision.

Bear in mind that some of these titles will also be available on PC and across one or both consoles in a family (PS4 and PS5 or Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S).
