Most companies can’t wait to talk about their exclusive game lineups, but in this instance, it seems possible that the language of exclusives might be changing a bit. While exclusives with third-party companies are hardly uncommon, it’s the ambiguity of the situation that is so interesting. Is Konami reserving the Silent Hill 2 remake for PS5 but letting everyone else, including Xbox owners, experience those other titles? If Sony is striking long-term agreements with publishers, what will happen to the other upcoming Silent Hill games? Konami is also bankrolling Silent Hill Townfall, Silent Hill: Ascension, and Silent Hill f, and it’s not clear what arrangement (if any) those titles may be subject to. If Final Fantasy VII Remake is truly going to end up a PS5/PC exclusive, then will Final Fantasy VII Rebirth end up one as well? After all, that game is going to tell the second chapter of a story that Final Fantasy VII Remake started. Then again, if the PC is being treated as a separate platform from Xbox consoles, does that mean we can still hope that the long-awaited Bloodborne PC port will eventually happen? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to say.ĭepending on the veracity of Microsoft’s statements, these recent allegations throw the future of several more games into question. Now, though, it seems that wording may only refer to a possible PC port. Unless Konami and Bloober Team plan on cramming that game onto the Nintendo Switch, that trailer led some to believe the game will eventually be released on Xbox. And what of Silent Hill 2? The announcement trailer seemingly contradicts Microsoft’s claims because the video’s fine print states the game will also launch on PC alongside the PS5, and then the game will come to “other formats” one year later. If we take Microsoft’s claims at face value, then PC gamers can play the game after the timed exclusivity expires, but Xbox owners will be left out entirely. Likewise, recent Final Fantasy XVI trailers state the game will initially launch on PlayStation 5 and will be available on other platforms starting in 2024. ![]() ![]() But while Final Fantasy VII Remake eventually launched on PC, Xbox owners are still waiting. Heck, the recent Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion released on every modern gaming platform, including Xbox One/Series X. After all, both platforms house a sizable chunk of the Final Fantasy library, including the original Final Fantasy VII. When Sony initially announced Final Fantasy VII Remake, the trailer finished with the words “Play it first on PlayStation 4,” which implied the game would only be a timed exclusive and eventually release on PC and Xbox One. ![]()
