The story
A thread titled “Tell me some appealing PS5-exclusive titles” popped up on 5ch’s Hardware/Industry (Geha) board. Almost immediately, replies shot down the thread starter’s picks — Astro Bot and the Demon’s Souls remake — with “there’s no such thing,” and most of the titles suggested afterward got flagged as timed exclusives or multiplatform releases. GTA, Wolverine, and the new action game “Saros” all got name-dropped without landing as convincing answers, and some posters even questioned the whole exclusivity strategy by pointing to how well Ghost of Tsushima sold after going multiplatform. In the end, the thread wrapped up with the “2026” and “2027” columns left completely blank.
What people said
Yeah… that's rough
There's gotta be something
No point stretching this out
Then you try naming one
Uh… (confused)
Wish stuff like that supported VR
I'm planning to buy it, but it's not a PS5 exclusive
I want something that'll actually push me to buy the hardware
Ah, that one… (lol)
Re: #19
That's coming to Steam too, so it's not a PS5 exclusive
Even if it were, it's probably not really my thing anyway…
It's a driving game but it's a choppy 30fps
If it were a PS5 exclusive, I might've bought a PS5
GTA's just a timed exclusive
Hurry it up already (net slang for "get on with it"), blog-farm guy
I made this thread because I want to know too
It's kind of turned into one of those once-every-4-years blockbuster events
If it's like Tokon — a PS5-primary multiplat — there's a chance it'll be under-optimized…
I bought the Ultimate Edition of Tokon on Steam
Arc System Works just announced they're working hard on optimization, so I'll wait it out
Is it any good? I'm curious
Phantom Blade Zero, which got its own State of Play and releases in October, is a PC/PS multiplat though
Re: #37
If you enjoyed Returnal — or "Baba-ternal" as some call it — then sure, maybe
Though the "old hag" one is more fun
First, tell us what hardware you own
PC
Switch 2
Switch
Wii U
3DS
PS4
PS3
PS Vita
Xbox Series X
If you've already got a PC, then it's probably just Gran Turismo 7 left
Has this thing really sold 100 million units?
But I haven't heard a single good thing about it since
The Iron Man design sent hardcore Marvel nerds into a rage
and yet Yotei staying a PS exclusive and doing "only" 4 million gets called a failure on its own — feels like we're going backwards
That's the sales figure for just the first month after release

Even after standing in line
That's TGS footage, right? Is it different from what's already out there?
It's probably a once-every-4-or-5-years kind of event, after all
There's a decent chance they'll show up free on PS Plus, so buying a PS5 isn't a loss. You can grab P5R, DRD2, Daaman 2, GTA5, and more that way
You mean RDR2
I narrowed it down to just the appealing PS5-exclusive titles for you
[2026]
[2027]
That's impressive in its own way
You don't normally end up like this
Background and key points of debate
This generation, Sony has steadily brought former PS5 exclusives like the Horizon series, Death Stranding, and Ghost of Tsushima to PC, which is part of why the platform has an image of having “few exclusive titles.” The thread’s disagreement centered on how to define “exclusive”: opinions split over whether timed exclusives (games withheld from other platforms only for a set period after launch) or titles released solely on Xbox consoles and PC should even count as exclusives. Some replies, citing Sony’s earnings materials, compared exclusive titles against post-multiplatform sales figures, but it’s worth noting that differing tally periods and conditions make a straightforward comparison difficult.
