Electronic Arts’ PopCap Games is releasing Peggle 2, a sequel to the physics-driven puzzle game Peggle, on Dec. 9 as a downloadable title for the Xbox One.

This kind of release isn’t exactly what you would expect during the launch window for a new video game console. Most launch titles cater to hardcore gamers, but Microsoft is reaching far and wide with the Xbox One. And this exclusive means that your typical puzzle addict might very well favor Microsoft’s new hardware, which hit the market on Nov. 22, over the Sony PlayStation 4.
