Death Stranding Has Been Removed from the Official PlayStation Site's List of Exclusives

Yakuza 0 is one example, even with the refreshed "Greatest Hits" style branding, they've still got the "Only on PlayStation" banner right there
Is Yakuza 0 on xbox?
To be fair, Sony basically let those games go to PC as a show of good faith to QD.

I don't think you realize what you're doing here. All you're doing is showing how Sony uses that label whenever they want to. There is no consistent bases in its use. With that known why make this thread and think all that stuff in the OP is proof when you yourself just showed labels and listings don't mean anything?
You can't use labels for one example then at the same time use its lack of presence for another.
Bit different when Death Stranding using an engine developed in-house by a Sony owned developer.
The evidence, thus far, points to no change.
I took these pics just a few minutes ago. Maybe Sony just hasn't updated the US store yet, but this is kinda weird to me
Anyone else seeing different?
Make the thread!
FTFY, gotta be careful someone might actually read seriously into that :P
So there are no PC games developed with a Sony engine in the market then?

What's with the odd angles and screen cutoff?
WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!!
Can somebody explain why also Concrete Genie and Dreams aren't on blog as well like Death Stranding?
Since this entire thread is just theorizing and speculating with no concrete or even credible information whatsoever, I'll throw in my crackpot thought:
Everything is up in the air with a PC Version possible based on where Kojima Production, specifically their relationship with Sony, goes from here. Think of Death Stranding as a 'trial run' of sorts that made sense for both sides. After Konami, he wouldn't want to immediately lock himself into some long term arrangement, but a 1 game deal with an option for more projects afterwards allows him to build his studio with a layer of security most independents don't see, especially new ones.
Sony rolled out the red carpet in unprecedented fashion for Kojima, so it's not a stretch to think they made certain compromises contractually that would ensure he had freedom & flexibility no matter what direction he decided to take KojiPro four years later once Death Stranding was finished. Whether that means he's free to put the game on other platforms outright after an exclusivity period, or able to negotiate for its rights should he choose to move on from the WWS partnership, who knows.

It really kinda just feels like these website lists of exclusives aren't comprehensive and shouldn't be relied upon like the gospel for anything.
"Only on Playstation" label is missing on its official retail box art.

Dreams is already out, isn't it? Why wouldn't it be on there unless the list is just dumb.
Calling it now, he's porting it over to the playdate. He found a way to use the crank on the side.
Early Access, not full game release. A game not present on the list can be chalked up to many things. Presence of some games is questionable as well (Journey, Tetris effect). But why remove an entity from all domains when its already uploaded?
Man this whole thread is embarrassing. All these post from a listing change.
It still appears as "Only on PlayStation" on the ps4 store.
Pipe down with your logic, this is a pretty slow day, let me be entertained!
Beta, Early access, whatever....it's out. So, like Death Stranding, it's coming to PC because it's not on the list. Logic. LOL
I'm all for a PC Version but unless I'm wildly mistaken this never happened. Not once has "PC" been mentioned since the game had an engine or a name. You're referring to his comments right after the partnership announcement with Andrew House. He talked about doing a "smaller" scale game for PS4 that would also come to PC.
No official review out for it. Only beta impressions. So whatever your logic wants to make of that up to you.
ah my mistake if so. I guess I assumed it was about Death Stranding
The people in charge of the store are likely separate than the website.Man this whole thread is embarrassing. All these post from a listing change.

There are more indications to be coming to PC than its 100% exclusive on ps4 as of this date.
Sony should be shouting "only on ps4" from the top of the mountains for Death Stranding and they aren't.
They also really don't need to, though. The PS4 is the de facto console right now.
You are mistaken:
In Yakuza 0 case, around when the Greatest hits edition was announced, a PC release was also announced. Probably just a case of not worth reprinting. 99% of games tagged with that are only on PlayStation, but QD's stuff shows Sony will allow a PC port of their fully owned I.Ps if the situation is right, regardless of a logo.
EGS, surely?
Who else has money burning a hole in their pocket? MS? But they're like, responsible with their money

I agree. If anything, all it imparts is some shifting of postures by Sony. Maybe legal decided they need to change the parameters of what is listed as exclusive, and they're just future proofing. The removal could mean any number of things, including very mundane reasons.
Having said that, did I see somewhere that Kojima visited Stadia offices recently or something?
What is interesting about PC vs PS4 and how's that got anything to do with this post?
It's a bit strange that some are so loyal to a brand, that they become insecure about certain topics pertaining too said brand. It's pretty sad honestly.
I mean if anything Dreams needs to be on the list more. Since it's actually something you can not only purchase but play. You can't say that for Death Stranding which is purely pre-order.
It's also strange that every thread about this game and/or Kojima is a war zone, but when a PC release is possible everything changes.
meh if it did come to EGS as an exclusive I wouldn't whine about it, as long as I can play it on PC then its all good. also it would hilariously point out some hypocrisy on this forum too when the outrage isn't as strong lmao
would take it over the PS4 version as I don't have a pro
