The fine print reads “Not available on other consoles until at least 05/12/21.” This is a confusing confirmation that the title will be a PS5 console exclusive for 6 months. Although, since it is worded in a rather vague manner, its exclusivity may even be extended. This decision will most probably depend on the game’s overall performance in terms of sales.

Another example of this would the upcoming title Deathloop. Even though Arkane Studios is now a part of Xbox, they have confirmed that it will still be a timed exclusive for PS5. Even though the length of its exclusivity is unknown, it could be substantially reduced considering Xbox is calling the shots now.

Godfall brings a lot to the table in terms of combat and great gameplay mechanics as well. In addition to this, it has virtually zero load times on the PlayStation, which further enhances the experience. The crafting, movement, and quests seem exciting and build anticipation for this title. Godfall releases along with the PlayStation 5 on November 12 as a launch title.
