It’s Clive vs. Kratos as 2 PlayStation Exclusive Heavy Hitters Are Going Head-To-Head on PC This September
PC players cannot seem to choose between Clive and Kratos with two incredible PlayStation exclusives releasing on PCs just two days apart.
- Sony's PlayStation exclusives Final Fantasy 16 and God of War Ragnarok make their debut on PCs this September.
- These highly anticipated titles have players wondering which one could take the lead considering how close their release dates are.
- Their debut on PCs showcase Sony's new approach to its PlayStation exclusive titles.
Sony’s exclusives on PlayStation have largely been well-received among players. The success of God of War and Final Fantasy 16 are great examples of how the company manages to secure excellent titles for its consoles that blend explosive narratives with excellent gameplay mechanics to deliver titles that are a joy for its players to experience.
With its choice to bring its exclusives to a wider base of players, the debut of God of War Ragnarok from Santa Monica Studio and Final Fantasy 16 from Square Enix on PC this September is sure to be a dilemma for many fans of these highly popular games considering how eagerly they have waited for each one.
Clive and Kratos Make Their Way to PCs
Final Fantasy 16 was a bold addition to the franchise, blending an expansive and elaborate story with revamped gameplay mechanics that included a new real-time combat system alongside series staples to create a game that was widely praised among players and critics alike when it released on the PlayStation 5 in June last year.
God of War Ragnarok has been a similar success story, with its status as the first cross-gen release in the series being overshadowed by its well-written conclusion to Kratos’ tryst with the Norse pantheon while satisfactorily handing over the reins of future titles to his son Atreus. Fans were treated to visual spectacles that were complemented by an excellent combat system, making Ragnarok a very popular PlayStation exclusive.
The Two Amazing Titles Go Head-To-Head This September
PC players looking to make the most of Sony’s new approach to its exclusive titles are sure to be scratching their heads about which of these games they would like to play first, considering that they launch on PC with just a two-day difference between them.
The Reddit post below and a few players’ comments on it showcase just how highly anticipated both games have been among PC players while shining a light on potential strategic decisions that Square Enix could have considered when deciding on a release date for Final Fantasy 16.
An interesting response from a player points to a slow start for another PlayStation exclusive on PC on account of a poorly chosen release date, highlighting how Ragnarok’s release on two generations of the PlayStation might work in Square Enix’s favor.
Another player pointed out that Square Enix tends to avoid any potential overlap between its releases, an occurrence that could have affected its planned update for Final Fantasy 14.
Another player questions the need to purchase single-player titles on launch, presenting a logical point that one could just finish playing the one they are most excited about before turning their attention to the next title.
Whichever of the two heavy hitters PC players choose to play first, fans of Sony’s exclusives on PC are sure going to be busy this September as they dive into the adventures of Clive and Kratos and experience their respective stories for themselves.
