One next-generation third-party title that hasn't been announced for the Xbox Series X|S (at least yet) is Godfall. Right now, the Gearbox published game is a PlayStation 5 launch exclusive.
So, will Xbox Series X|S players ever get the chance to try it out? Based on the PS5 launch trailer for the game, it appears Godfall is a timed-exclusive and will be playable on other consoles by 12th May next year.
"Not available on other consoles until at least 05/12/21."
That's about a six month wait then. As highlighted by VGC - the developer Counterplay previously mentioned on its website how the game was in the works for "next-gen consoles" in general.
Counterplay describes Godfall as a looter-slasher, melee action-RPG, and the development team is made up of talent who previously worked on games such as God of War, Gears 5, Halo 5, Destiny 2, Overwatch, Titanfall 2 and many other popular IPs.
How do you feel about timed-exclusives such as this? Would you be interested in playing Godfall on Xbox Series X|S? Tell us down below.

That’s good to hear, gives them six months to polish it a bit more, optimism it for the series x and if the game is good I buy it, simples.
@Dezzy70 It will be interesting to see if this game will be 70$ for next-gen consoles.
@Senua
Hopefully time Xbox gets the game we might be at £50 at the most.
It's had a bit of a mixed response in general but I think it looks great!
Very happy with this news 😁
This game is perfect for Gamepass.
I wouldn't worry about it either way, I'm getting a 'not going to be remembered in six months' vibe from the game.
I said on Pushsquare, it's not that this game is clearly going to be a disaster like Anthem or Fallout 76, but that I don't see the concept catching on with the audience of these types of games.
It's not even exclusive, it's on PC same day as PS5
I thought this was a Sony console exclusive, surprised it’s only a timed one. It’s ok Sony buying timed exclusively though because it’s Sony 🤣
Hard pass here wouldn't play if on Gamepass or even free
@Menchi On PC it's a timed-exclusive on the Epic Games Store. So users on platforms like Steam will presumably have to wait for it.
"Godfall is slated to be exclusive to Epic Games Store on PC for 12 months"

The whole exclusivity is very annoying tbh. What if a PS player wants to play 2 player zombie mode with his friend who has an Xbox?
I don't understand why Sony would spend money on timed exclusivity, but they keep doing it so I guess it's working for them.
Buying up major studios with established franchises is equally annoying if said franchises turn out to be exclusive as well.
If it turns out that way, pc might be the way to go since most games will end up there. Specially after Sony expressed their interest in looking into pc.
@Liam_Doolan Still on PC and PS5 day 1.
@Menchi Yes, but this article is more to do with the fact it's a console exclusive on PS5.
Not my type of game but at least anyone that is won't have to wait too long.
Not a fan of these paid timed exclusives for any platform.
Interesting, hopefully they'll have cross play working by then!
@thejameswhogames I do and don't. I think it is one to watch but not one to buy day 1. I'll probably skip the PS5 version and wait for the Series X version and see what people are saying.
@Liam_Doolan I guess I'm just old fashioned when it comes to the word. Especially with how muddy it has become.
Console exclusive (but also on PC)
Console launch exclusive (but also on PC, timed for everything else)
Timed exclusive
There are more but it just gets exhausting.
@Menchi Yeah, I get what you mean.
I can't get over how Activision recently locked demos behind a pre-order wall (Crash 4 and Tony Hawk's).
How times have changed!
I have no interest in it for PS5, nor will I have any interest in it if comes to Series X|S.
Cool for those interested in the game, though!
Sony buying timed exclusives, once again.
And money well spent, as it seems not many people care about this game. 👍🏻 🙄
I will not be buying this. Let PlayStation have it.
@thejameswhogames fair enough but don't judge a book by its cover and all that garbage eh? II would say the same about "The Witcher" with its title but what a great game it is.
@KelticDevil you are very anti PlayStation aren't you?
@Alpha_Pulse
Says the guy from Push Square?
And this is an Xbox website. Thx.
@KelticDevil just because this is Xbox doesn't mean everyone has to be so volatile towards anyone who is interested in another piece of kit. My account here is the same one for Push Square so your point makes no sense.
What makes you the authority on what constitutes an xbox fan?
How was I being “volatile” to you? I stated my opinion about something & you started at me.
If you don’t like my opinions, then don’t read them. I couldn’t care less.
This just looks so generic to me, no interest whatsoever, but for those who are interested it's good to hear it'll be coming to Xbox as I was under the impression it was a PS5 exclusive and not just a timed one.
