Ah, PlayStation exclusives, that sweet sweet feeling of bragging rights and salty tears from console wars. But hold your controllers, Cantonese Juk Sing gang, because Sony just dropped the ultimate tweet... uh, sorry, job post. They’re hiring a big-shot "Senior Director of Multiplatform & Account Management." Translation? Uncle Sony wants you to play their goodies not just on your PS5 but pretty much everywhere else—Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam, Epic Games Store, mobile phones… maybe even your neighbor’s toaster, or like Silicon Valley to your fridge… jk
But as always Pok Gai Gamer needs to pay bills too, so let’s hear from today’s sponsor:

Before you start twitching like a mad gamer who just lost rank because of crossplay, yes, this doesn’t mean PS5 is licking its exclusivity goodbye completely. The big wigs say consoles remain the king of the hill—with jaw-dropping graphics, big screens, and those fancy gadgets. But Sony knows there’s gold in them hills called Xbox and Nintendo fans, and they want a piece of that pie too.
Their official plan? Keep making those killer PlayStation games like "Ghost of Yotei" (yeah, it’s a sequel, don’t act so surprised), let those games chill on PlayStation first like they’ve been doing, then unleash them elsewhere later. Live-service games? Those bad boys might drop on all platforms day one. Single-player story gems? Timed exclusives on PS first, 'cause Sony’s not about to sniff that console crown out just yet.
Now, for all you salty gamers yelling "Nooooooo! Exclusives are dying!"—take a breath. It’s more like exclusives evolving. Think of it as your favorite Cantonese juk sing gamer growing up and realizing sharing is caring... kinda. It’s about squeezing more income while keeping that special PlayStation magic.
Even funnier? Sony now links to buy some of their games on Xbox stores directly. Console wars? More like console hugs.
So what now? Keep your popcorn ready, friends. The multiplatform fiesta is just getting started.
