Update: Following the game being rated for Xbox earlier this month, a Greek retailer known as The Console Club has listed the game with a July 6 release date. If true, we'll more than likely hear something very soon.
The recently released PlayStation and PC title Oddworld: Soulstorm may be making its way to the Xbox in the near future according to a recent rating.
As spotted by XboxEra, a Brazilian ratings board has noted the game as arriving on Xbox One, alongside its previously released version on other systems. It's no surprise that the game could be arriving on Xbox, but the timing of it seems fairly short between its console exclusive release on PlayStation.
It could be that the game held a six month exclusive deal with PlayStation to become a PlayStation Plus release back in April. If that's the case, we could be seeing the game reach Xbox as soon as October. There's no official word as of yet, but no doubt we'll hear something in due course.
If you're itching for an Oddworld fix, the fantastic Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is available on Xbox systems. It's a perfect precursor to Soulstorm, so if you're wanting to check out the series before the latest entry may potentially arrive, it's a great starting point.
Would you like to see Oddworld: Soulstorm come to Xbox? Let us know in the comments below.

Nothing to be too excited about personally. Played it for about an hour then deleted it. But guess its good to come to more people who may like it though.
I played it with PS+ and didn’t really like it, it was just frustrating to play.
@Fenbops Yup, that's Oddworld. 👍
@The_New_Butler There was a report that said they have shelled out $329M. You can read it here, I don’t entirely understand it.

Think it was pretty obvious it was either 6 or 12 months timed exclusive due to the PS+ deal.
Having this for free on PS5 though, I wouldn't suggest paying full price for this game.
I found it a very buggy and frustrating game. Very repetitive.
I gave up after 2-3 hours and haven't played it since.
@The_New_Butler
The $329 Million is money spent of 3rd party exclusives paid over 7 years where Sony has publishing.
That means games like Demon's Souls, Sackboy, Destruction Allstars, Returnal etc.
Ie all exclusives where Sony doesn't actually own the studios.
That figure is NOT money spent on timed exclusives.
Not surprised this is coming to another system. As I've said before, I believe third-party exclusives will be the exception and not the rule for a few years.
@blinx01 Where did you see it doesn’t include timed exclusives? The article actually talks about the one year CoD exclusive thing in it.

I know it's a PS site, but they are the only ones that have actually delved into the full report rather than see the figure and assume it involves all timed exclusive deals.
Screenrant just speculate this could include COD's Onslaught mode.
@blinx01 Thanks! That clears it up.
After the reviews this got I wouldn’t get too excited about this coming to Xbox.
Trust me, I’ve played it. It’s not an exclusive PS users should have been bragging about, lol.
@The_New_Butler Xbox does these deals as well. Xbox pushing hard with the gamepass ones.
Look at last year's show which had a bunch of 3rd part gamepass deals/ timed exclusive games
@The_New_Butler yeah I get that. But outside of say Xbox or PlayStation doing this for there base. It is good for developers. As the extra money does help to pad the game or hell finish it, some companies need the cash infusion to just get a project finished.
I know the developers of unto the end said the money from game pass was one of the only reasons they could finish it in the time they did
I bought it on Epic. I'll probably rebuy when it comes to Steam, probably not Xbox but if I hadn't got it on Epic I would have given Xbox a go. Granted I don't know how FPS would fare on base Xbone, the game is both CPU and GPU intense. It's actually a pretty good game in some regards, but it is both super buggy and stupidly difficult. Those 2 things are bad enough on their own, and especially bad together. Oddworld New n Tasty aside from its graphics is a better game, but Soulstorm has lots of potential if they patch it and add more checkpoints.
@papahefe you need to get out more if this is hilarious. And i doubt very many people would have been bragging about this game being an "exclusive" either.
@papahefe Feel free to show me "many" people bragging about Oddworld being an exclusive. And also why it's hilarious.
@papahefe so nothing specifically about Oddworld. Gotcha.
Stop being a hypocrite. "Sony fanboys are the worst" yet all you've done here is "stir the pot", as you've put it, by trying to one up them with this "amazing seeing them backpedal" and "one less exclusive to brag about" etc.
Don't let it bother you. You don't have to dislike one because you have the other.
@papahefe Fanboys are the absolute worst. Smile when they get put in their place? Good for the soul?
We’re talking about videogames. Get some perspective.
Also there wasn’t a lot of people bragging about Oddworld exclusivity. The excitement came from it being a day one game on PS Plus.
I’m not surprised by people who didn’t enjoy what they’ve played. The reveal trailer looked awful. Loud. Busy. Trying to do a lot. Off putting character design. I was baffled when I did see positive reactions.
Not worth buying even if it does.
Not interested in this one but can we have sequel or something similar to Stranger's Wrath next?
I have tried a lot of different odd world games and have never enjoyed them enough to get really far. Even if it was on game pass I wouldn’t even be tempted to try it. Good for anyone that wants it though.
I hope the exclusivity period for ffxvi is just as short, but I doubt it. Oddworld Soulstorm doesn’t look very good and if I wanted to get into the franchise I’d just play the originals on steam or something.
