One of the video game industry’s most grating trends is timed exclusivity, when a console manufacturer like Sony or Microsoft pays a publisher money in order to deprive content from other platforms for a certain timeframe. It looks like Red Dead Redemption 2 will be following suit.

Today, developer Rockstar announced a bunch of bundles and pre-order bonuses for the much-anticipated Western game, and buried amongst all the stuff about outfits and GTA Online cash on the PlayStation Store is this line:

PlayStation® Exclusive: Play select content first on PlayStation®4. Details to follow.





We don’t know the scale of “select content”—could be hats, could be a full expansion—but if it’s anything like Sony’s arrangement with Destiny, it will be a pain for Xbox players. The company behind the PlayStation 4 paid Activision to keep guns, maps, and even full strikes away from Xbox players for years, then did the same for Destiny 2 and several Call of Dutygames. Microsoft has pulled its own “timed exclusivity” nonsense for Dragon Age: Inquisition as well as other big multi-platform games—also including Call of Duty—over the past decade.

Now, it appears that Red Dead Redemption is following that same trend. Rockstar didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Y'all nikkas ain't lonely. And your single player games aren't overrated.

I've probably said that y'all choose to spend your time playing against NPCs instead of running with a squad to dump on nikkas.

Y'all aren't lonely... Y'all are more like hermits, it's a choice.:mjlol:


And I'd never say those games are overrated; I said I could never see myself opting to play better versions of tomb raider every day when I could be in a squad, joking and talking on some fukkery shyt and doing some group competitive shyt.

This was a weird mention for me, Crunch.:skip:
