Why a Microsoft-owned Spyro is on PS5 and Switch 2
Activision became part of Microsoft in 2023, and Microsoft has since shipped several Activision and first-party franchises multiplatform. A Realm Beyond follows that strategy: the reveal happened on an Xbox stage, but PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 were confirmed in the same breath. For players, the practical takeaway is simple ā no platform exclusivity window has been announced anywhere.
Which version should you plan for?
Honest answer this far out: there is no technical breakdown yet (resolution, frame rate, performance modes have not been announced). What we can say today:
- Cheapest way to play at launch: Game Pass on Xbox or PC ā it's included day one. (Game Pass details)
- Portable: Switch 2 is the only handheld option confirmed. (Switch 2 page)
- PC requirements: Not published yet ā we track that on the system requirements page.
