Before that it was Xbox exclusive. I remember mw2 you got map packs a month early on Xbox.

That’s the thing though it’s not even that extreme any more. For the past several years it’s been Sony receiving those benefits but I think Bo4 was the last time you get actual month long exclusive shit. Ever since then the time line started decreasing and now they are at a point where they no longer happens. Sony is legit complaining about theoretically/possibly (despite guarantees to the contrary) losing unique skins on purchase, some random double xp perks once a month, and I think some extra create a class slots IF you buy the battle pass, that’s basically the jist of their “exclusives” at this point.
What it was in the past is no longer relevant to be frank, it only matters what’s been going down the last few years, and that’s what it is, some skins and other random token bull shit. It’s actually laughable at this point, people aren’t buying PlayStations for CoD for those perks any more, the days were you would get a month long preview before anyone else are already long gone…. This was also a time before crossplay and proper PC support, things have changed and there’s no way Sony doesn’t already understand this….

In Modern Warfare 2019 there was a game mode that was exclusive to PS for an entire year

Yeah and when it did come over it wasn’t the complete mode either.

There’s things in Destiny 2 Xbox/PC players don’t get for a YEAR. It’s total bullshit

Used to in D1 but not anymore, fortunately. Thankfully Bungie got away from that bullshit realizing they needed a unified experience.

Yeah but Destiny is part of Game Pass with all the DLC. Or at least it used to be when I got super into it for a few months
