IT Home reported on February 6 that the PlayStation 5 exclusive action-adventure game "Star Blade" developed by Shift Up will be officially released on April 26 this year. Inspired by Bayonetta and NieR: Automata, this title is considered one of the most anticipated PlayStation exclusives of 2024.
On the eve of the game's launch, the developers revealed their reasons for choosing the PlayStation platform over others. According to Kim Hyung-tae, the producer of Star Blade, the PlayStation 5 will provide a better gaming experience, which is what the studio has been aiming for.
Kim Hyung-tae said Shift Up wants to focus on a single platform. With PlayStation as the market-leading platform, it was an easy choice for studios to make. "We wanted to release a highly finished game on a single platform," he said. ”
He further revealed that he's been a big fan of PlayStation since childhood, and while that's not the reason for choosing exclusivity, it makes the choice even more exciting.
Previously, a former Rockstar developer had made similar remarks, saying that the studio preferred the PlayStation platform. These reactions seem to indicate that PlayStation is currently in a dominant position in the market.
IT House notes that although the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X share the same chipset, the latter is superior in overall hardware. However, studios don't seem to mind giving up on Xbox.
Recent reports suggest that Microsoft has stopped showing much enthusiasm for supporting Xbox hardware. If true, it is possible that more games will follow Star Blade's lead in the future and opt for PlayStation exclusives, as abandoning the Xbox market won't cause much to lose.
According to rumors, Microsoft is also planning to port some Xbox exclusives to the PS5 platform. With the addition of Xbox games and PlayStation exclusives, the PlayStation 5 is gradually becoming the platform of choice for many players.
