As we suggested following Final Fantasy VII Remake's delay, the change in release date won't have an impact on how long the game remains a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Previously, the box art for the upcoming RPG confirmed that it'll be a timed exclusive for one year -- and that hasn't changed since the game was delayed from March to April.
A rework of the box art has a new label that now reads "Timed Exclusive until 4/10/2021" -- that's exactly 12 months after the current release date. Exclusivity deals like this tend to be based on a specific length of time rather than a defined date so that potential issues, like delays, don't impact the agreement.

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
@kyleforrester87 I know you were on edge waiting for confirmation Kyle. Really glad I could bring you this scoop. Thanks for reading.
This kinda stuff is stupid, a year is long if you're a big fan and you play on Pc or a different console. Alas, there's plenty of great games coming out so I wouldn't care too much, next gen consoles will be out by then as well, so it'll look extra crispy on those I bet.
One of the few timed exclusives that I can see being a system seller. We’re not talking about Rise of the Tomb Raider here.
@ShogunRok it’s tantalising stuff! Next time you get a story like this do me a solid and @ me in the comments, you old newshound!
yep and no doubt i will have finished it by the time it comes to other systems and depending what system i might even buy it again on one of those
I’ll wait for a Switch port then.
Just kidding.
@FullbringIchigo you got 12 months mate, if you haven’t finished it I’ll be asking questions!
Good to know. I wouldnt have bought it if there was only 364 days exclusivity. The game would be totes basic 😉
Even if I didn't own a PS4, I'd probably grab one to play this. I can't imagine having to wait an entire year after release to play this.
Might be trouble if the sequels are PS5 exclusive.
@Ralizah I hope so. If you're not here anymore by the time the PS5 rolls around, who am I – as an official member of The Witcher Defense Force – to annoy whenever the inevitable Witcher 4 is announced?
I mean, Square did it with Rise of the Tomb Raider being a timed exclusive on the Xbone before releasing on the PS4.
But FF7 is such a big name game that will definitely help sell some PS4s before the PS5 is out.
I really couldn’t wait for it to come to PC so PS4 it is. Honestly so hyped at this point.
I figured. Cant wait. I just finished Shenmue 3....i have this horribly empty feeling now😕 Damnit Yu...how on Earth did you create this oddly compelling saga that i cant get enough of? And even if the story moved forward an inch (heard come complaining about that) it was still killer imo
@Octane Even if I don't grab a PS5, I'll still be haunting these corridors.
Wasn't Blood and Wine the end of Geralt's story, though?
@Ralizah Not really I think. There's a bit suggesting it's the end of the trilogy, for now at least. But that's not to say a sequel isn't possible.
So based on the origional do we know how many hours worth of gameplay were looking at give or take. I've started the first one but only got to the cross dressing bit. I tend not to read too much about stuff I want to go in to blind but I was curious as I know this is just 1 part of the story. Thanks.
This game makes me wish I had a PS4, but I can wait.
I hope the game will get ps5 patch
@kyleforrester87 very true, i'll have probably done it a few times by then honestly
@ShogunRok Does PS4 exclusive mean it won't come to PS5 until April 2021? It would be fun if they messed up the contract and prevented it from being released on PS5 before other platforms.
@Rhaoulos Haha, it'd be funny but probably not. I think the agreement likely covers 'PlayStation' as a whole. Either that, or I'm sure there'll be some way around it.
