Xbox fans are a little unhappy with Konami right now, as yet another game showcased at the recent State of Play turned out to be a PS5 exclusive… at launch, at least. Silent Hill: Townfall is the next game in the series that’s being developed by a third party, but unlike the successful Silent Hill f, it seems to be coming to PS5 and PC only.
Silent Hill: Townfall might only be a PS5 console exclusive game at launch, but fans aren’t having it
A Eurogamer article has been making rounds on various gaming forums, in which the publication pointed out that Silent Hill: Townfall’s official website only lists PS5 and PC as its platforms. This information surfaced after the State of Play, during which it was also revealed that Konami’s upcoming RPG Rev Noir is PS5 exclusive.
Silent Hill: Townfall is a bit of a curious case, though. The game is being co-published by Konami and Annapurna Interactive and is being developed by a relatively small studio called Screen Burn Interactive (formerly No Code). But since Konami owns the IP, any exclusivity deal would have been struck between Sony and Konami.
Why Townfall was selected for any exclusivity is anybody’s guess.
“What I despise the most about Sony’s timed exclusivity deals is that they allow games to release on PC,” a player wrote on Reddit. “They are not paying to have something, they are paying for Xbox to not have it.”
“Xbox used to do this exact thing,” a fan fired back. “Rise of the Tomb Raider launched on Xbox and PC but not on PS4 until a year later.”
Times have changed, though, and Microsoft has checked out of the exclusives war. But apparently, Sony still believes in them.
