In addition, Dragon is coming to the West at the same time as Xbox Series X and will be available for Windows PC and PS4, but there is no official mention of PS5.

There is already a battle to the finish line between the Microsoft’s Series X and Sony’s PlayStation 5. As of now, we know more about the Xbox Series X than the PlayStation 5. Presently, it seems as though the new Xbox will take the crown but it is certainly too early to judge.
