Sony paid huge bucks for exclusive PS5 content

In August last year, the PlayStation Advantage project was reported. The Japanese have been in talks with major publishers and developers to provide exclusive content for the PS5 and PS4. It was about full and temporary exclusivity or inclusion of content exclusively for PlayStation users.

For example, Deathloop and GhostWire: Tokyo will only be available on one console at release, while Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will add additional slots for PlayStation 5 players. Some gamers criticize the approach, but the Japanese continue to follow the intended path and release everything more exclusive content.

In the third quarter of the fiscal year alone (October-December 2020), Sony awarded more than $ 321 million in contracts to “develop, distribute and publish” products. While it is not known all the games that will receive new content only for the PS5, but you can expect some high-profile announcements in the coming months.

PlayStation Advantage will be an important part of Sony’s strategy for the coming years to bring content to its users in Japan. The company plans to close long-term deals, and the aforementioned $ 300 million is set aside for new content, which will appear at various times over the course of seven years. The amount may increase.
