Explained simply
Sony makes PlayStation consoles and publishes games for them, while its studios, including Insomniac and Naughty Dog, develop some of the best-known PlayStation series. A console exclusive is a game available on one console platform; some titles may also come to PC, and timed exclusivity means other consoles may get a game later.
The forthcoming line-up includes new entries in familiar series such as Marvel’s Wolverine and God of War, alongside new stories such as Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. These games differ in genre and release timing, and some are planned for more than one platform.
The line-up matters to players choosing a console or deciding when to buy a game, as availability may vary between PlayStation, PC and other consoles. It also reflects Sony’s approach to keeping some future single-player games on PlayStation while allowing certain titles already in development to reach PC.
