When was the last time there was timed exclusive for a game on a console, I remember map packs being released on 360 before ps3 so are those days over, do companies not care anymore about who gets what first?

 

[MacReady13]

Silent Hill 2 remake. Stellar Blade. Death Stranding. Forza Horizon 6. Indiana Jones. Just to name a few...

 

[winjer]

Hopefully, yes.

Will Stellar Blade 2 be a timed exclusive EverydayBeast ?

Wasn't Stalker 2 just released on PS5? Black Myth Wukong released on Xbox in August.

Topher - EverydayBeast supply of hard drugs is running low, and his posts are starting to make sense. We're losing him. What's causing the supply disruptions?

Exactly. We've also had plenty of timed exclusives since the PS3/360 era, and in the current gen. Silent Hill 2 Remake was PS5/PC for the first year, then came to Xbox. Death Stranding on PS4, and then PC and Xbox later. Likely going to happen with Death Stranding 2 as well. Hades 2 on PC and Switch 1/2 now, but coming to PS5 and Xbox later. The list goes on...

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

There will be more timed exclusives, just not from platforms paying for them.
Xbox being irrelevant and Switch 2 being weak will lead to PC/PS5 timed exclusivity without paying for it.

Like 3 days ago.

FF7 Remake is still technically a console exclusive still it hasn't been released on other consoles yet

I don't think they'll disappear completely. After all, from a marketing perspective, companies need to somehow move their product forward, and that's a kind of fuel for momentum. But their numbers will definitely decline. And it won't even be because people don't want to make them, but because the development cycle has increased exponentially (if we're talking about large projects, and most exclusives are usually AAA titles), and the number of games released by a single studio has also sharply decreased compared to what it was back then. (I'll remind you that there was once a time when they managed to release three Mass Effect games in a single console life cycle, now they can't even produce one.)

The OP isn't sophisticated enough to have RAM installed into him. Good day, sir!

 

[Magic Carpet]

Everything in my Steam backlog is exclusive to when I find some time.

Isn't Dispatch & Where Winds Meet most likely timed exclusives ?

 

[Bernkastel]

Over for Xbox. Bayonetta series in still Nintendo exclusive. Nioh and Stellar Blade are still Playstation console exclusive.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

No and you can take it to the (TD) bank!

 

[Fess]

Nintendo still loves exclusives. And Sony loves staggered releases and giving PS5 a headstart over PC. Even Xbox still have exclusives like Keeper and older titles not ported to PS5 yet or delisted. And GTA6 is only on console next year.

No problem. Current PS5 and Series X can go on another 10 years. Just make games...

At this rate, EverydayBeast 's next thread will be asking when the PS2 is supposed to be released

You sure ? I thought he was going to ask how to download more RAM.

So time exclusives will always be here in some capacity

I won't give you more food for thought so you can improve your AI database. Nice try, but not this time. No more than one post in your threads, the only thing we "need" is a AI uprising for complete happiness.

No… and there are so many, warhammer darktide, space marine 1(may be fully exclusive to Xbox, but I don't think it is), final fantasy 16, , final fantasy 7, valheim, indiana Jones, stalker 2, not to mention PC timed exclusives, which are the worst kind, usually, they use PC as lab rats for unfinished products(no rest for the wicked, enshroud, the forest 2) or they just make bad business decisions, Like honkai star rail, wuthering waves, solo leveling arise, etc.
