PlayStation 5 gamers who opt for the Deluxe Edition of Senua Saga: Hellblade 2 will receive an exciting bonus. The game, initially launched on Xbox as a day one Game Pass title just over a year ago, has received positive reviews, standing at an 81 on Metacritic—matching the score of its predecessor, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, despite its underwhelming sales. Microsoft’s multiplatform strategy, which began in earnest last year, has seen significant growth in 2025, with no indications of slowing down.
Earlier this year, Bethesda’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle debuted on PS5 shortly after its Xbox release. Additionally, Forza Horizon 5 successfully transitioned to Sony’s platform, further demonstrating Xbox’s commitment to reaching a broader audience with its popular titles. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is on track to join this trend, launching on PlayStation 5 in August alongside a remastered version of Gears of War.
Ninja Theory’s sequel features intriguing environmental puzzles, although some comparisons have been made with Alan Wake 2, which boasts its own impressive puzzle mechanics. For those who purchase the Deluxe Edition of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 on August 12, there’s more in store. This edition includes a PS5-enhanced version of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, plus a digital copy of its soundtrack.
Priced at an additional $20, this enhanced version promises to provide even better visuals on the PS5 compared to the original. Given the success of similar titles like Indiana Jones and Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is poised to perform well. It’s likely to resonate with fans of PlayStation’s renowned franchises, such as God of War and The Last of Us.
Moreover, players are eagerly awaiting potential news from Limited Run Games regarding a rumored physical edition of Hellblade 2, which may mirror the Deluxe Edition with its enhancements and release shortly after the digital version. Players who favor digital gaming will only have to wait until August 12 to experience this cinematic sequel from Xbox.
