Exclusive games is one of the PS5'south big advantages over the Xbox Series 10, with Deathloop looking similar a game worth chasing downwards a PS5 restock for. Simply you lot need non rush as it's been pushed back from releasing next month to September.

The Deathloop Twitter account posted a message from developer Arkane Studios noting that the timed PS5 exclusive will now accept a release date of September 14, 2021.

While the developers apologized for the delay, we can't help experience a small tinge of disappointment. While ensuring a game is a good equally possible is the way developers should approach their work, at least in our eyes, pushing back a major PS5 exclusive is bittersweet.

The PS5 has the likes of Demon's Souls and Astro's Playroom as full console exclusives. And the PS5 is the place to play Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Simply it's not exactly flush with many more major exclusives.

Sure, backward compatibility gives those lucky enough to have PS5 a generous collection of some of the best games e'er — including The Last of Us 2, Bloodborne, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and more — merely we'd still like to see more than exclusive games that really button the PS5'southward stellar hardware.

With Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart all on the horizon, we'll shortly have more than PS5 exclusives. Just Deathloop was one that we were very excited nigh.

Ultimately, nosotros'll demand to be patient and make do with playing the fantastic God of War with PS5 enhancements. And hopefully when Deathloop does arrive, it'll accident our minds.
