Hermen Hulst, addresses day 1 PC releases. Live service games will on the same day on PS5 and PC, but single player narrative games on PC are designed to then entice PC owners to play sequels on a PS5 (x.com)

Any adult here saying they can wait, it's true, you can. Your not the target demographic of console exclusives. It's the young people feeling the social pressure of their friends talking about the hot new thing that will not have the patience, the game backlog, the healthy busy life to take priority, those are the people who will get a console to stay relevant with their friend group.

The big change is that sony is now saying, hey, we want the adult gaming money too, so once all the teenagers buy the bait, we will give it to you older gamers on steam.
