At the PlayStation Showcase, PlayStation announced that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is a PS5 exclusive, or at least a timed console exclusive. Obviously, anytime you can secure an exclusive deal for a Star Wars game, it’s a big dub. That said, this isn’t any ol’ Star Wars game. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is widely considered one of the best games of all time.
There’s more to it than just securing a great Star Wars exclusive though. When KOTOR was released back in 2003, via BioWare, it was an Xbox exclusive. It eventually came to PC and even later than that, mobile devices, however, it never came to PlayStation platforms or any other console. Now, it’s being remade from the ground up, and it’s going to debut on PS5, and right now, there’s no word of how long after release Xbox fans will need to wait to see the RPG on Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. Whatever the case, it’s a big grab by PlayStation.
