Xbox Series X/S & PC exclusive 'The Medium' gets rated for PS5

Bloober Team

The Xbox Series X/S and PC-exclusive title The Medium has just been rated for the PlayStation 5. It receives a Mature 17+ for Blood, Strong Language, and Violence rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board. And the listing shows not just the Xbox platform but the PS5, too.

Koch Media announced a publishing partnership with The Medium's developer Bloober Team earlier this year, and the publisher plans a pre-E3 Koch Primetime Gaming Stream on June 11. So, we might hear more about the game's availability on Sony's console then. As IGN pointed out, it could also drum up excitement for Bloober Team's upcoming project, which it said was working on "another horror IP" with a "very famous publisher." Some of the speculations said it could be a new entry in the Silent Hill franchise.

According to Fossil's Greg McKelvey, this Gen 6 watch will have "all of the software benefits that Google's been talking about and launching with the unified platform."
