FULL STORY ======================================================================

Senior game designer for the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake, Tully Ackland, took to Twitter to confirm that KOTOR Remake is timed
exclusive for PS5 and PC , meaning itll release on other platforms
eventually. Ackland didnt specify what consoles itll come to next, but we can assume Xbox Series X and Series S will be some of them.

Announced at the PlayStation September 2021 showcase, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remakes appearance as a PS5 and PC exclusive was a surprise, as KOTOR has never been released on any PlayStation console before. Star

However, after the conference, there was some confusion on social media about whether the timed exclusivity meant KOTOR was a PS5 console exclusive,
meaning it wouldnt come to other consoles.

The fact that SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment) is involved in helping to develop KOTOR Remake along with Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games is largely to blame for the confusion, because why would Sony allow a game its helping to develop and probably funding, release on other consoles? Opinion: Timed exclusivity
is an annoying standard in the gaming industry

The KOTOR Remake follows the relentless trend of timed exclusivity deals in gaming, which is quickly becoming an annoying standard in the gaming
industry.

There was an immense backlash when Xbox had timed exclusivity for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Although these deals do benefit PlayStation and Xbox, gamers are left to suffer, waiting at least a year for DLCs or games to release on their console of choice.

Despite the timed exclusivity, we know Aspyr has the potential and talent to make KOTOR Remake a quality game old fans of the series would love, so hopefully, itll be made available to as many gamers as possible, regardless
of the platform they game on. These are the best PS5 games
