Deathloop's PS5 console exclusivity period ends in September 2022, according to the latest trailer at Sony's State of Play.
One of the focuses of the most recent State of Play was Deathloop, which got a nine-minute trailer detailing its gameplay and going in-depth for the first time.

That trailer was then reuploaded to YouTube, where a new splash screen was added to the ending. As reported by Kotaku, this splash screen states that Deathloop is a PlayStation 5 console exclusive, but has an asterisk for the first time. That asterisk reveals that Deathloop's console exclusivity ends on September 14 2022.
The message on the splash screen reads "Not available on other consoles until 14/09/2022". There's really only one console that Deathloop isn't going to be launching on this year and that's Xbox, so it's pretty clear what this message is trying to say.
Even though this trailer reveals the end date for Deathloop's exclusivity on PS5, it's not outright confirming that the game will be coming to Xbox as soon as September 2022. That's just the earliest date Deathloop can come to other systems.
Nothing has been announced in regards to that just yet, but it seems likely that Xbox will want to bring it to its console as soon as possible. With Microsoft's current strategy being Game Pass, it'll likely debut on that as well.
Although it's been known for a while that Deathloop was a timed console exclusive instead of a permanent one, we've now got confirmation that the exclusivity period only lasts for a year before it can come to other consoles, which should clue us in to what will happen to other similar titles.
It's likely that the year exclusivity will also be applied to Ghostwire: Tokyo, which is another Bethesda PS5 console exclusive that was announced before it was acquired by Microsoft. We haven't heard about Ghostwire for some time, but it's expected to be launching in October of this year, so it's possible that will be available on Xbox by October 2022.
