The question of exclusivity has always been contentious in gaming, and the recent Microsoft-Activision deal once again brought this discussion to the fore. Personally, we don't love it, and that's why we're delighted to share the news that a certain classic is finally being made available for more platforms, namely the PS5.
For those of you who are sick and tired of the same games coming to console, there is one sleeper hit that is finally getting added for the PlayStation 5 very soon. It has just been revealed that the interactive film "Immortality" is going to be made available for PS5.
Until now the game has only been on Xbox, PC and mobile, and now everyone – except Switch players I guess – are going to be able to enjoy a new kind of gaming experience and the third game by director Sam Barlow.
Immortality Is Getting Added To PS5 Soon
If you're someone who enjoys mystery and detective work, as well as cinema, then the interactive Film games by Sam Barlow are right up your alley. Known for the hit game "Her Story" from 2015, Barlow has managed to create a whole series of interactive films.
In 2022 Immortality was released and made available for players on various platforms, but PlayStation gamers had to either get out their mobile phones for this unique game experience or just wait.
In Immortality, the fictional actress, Marissa Marcel, disappears. The film combines three of her lost movies with interactive elements, allowing players to uncover the truth behind her vanishing through exploration and piecing together clips and scenes.

While this isn't the most well-known game out there, it did have a high Metacritic score of 87. Not only that, but the game has also won Best Narrative at the 2023 BAFTA-Game-Awards. So if you're looking for an interesting narrative-rich mystery, then Immortality should be right up your alley.
The game will be making its way to the PlayStation on January 23, 2024. Unfortunately, there is no price yet for the game, but it is $20.00 on the Xbox, so on PlayStation it should be around the same.
