Likely Not Coming to Other Consoles

The Pokemon franchise has always been exclusively playable on Nintendo consoles, so it highly unlikely that the game will be released for different consoles such as the PS5 or Xbox One.

Likely Not Coming to Mobile

The only game that the Pokemon franchised has released for mobile so far is Pokemon Go, which was specifically designed for mobile gaming. On the other hand, Pokemon Legends: Arceus is likely not coming to IOS or Android since it was not intended for mobile platforms.
