I believe the game is a full on PlayStation exclusive in Japan.
For reasons.

Apparently Sony paid for Monster Hunter Worlds time exclusivity & blocked crossplay [Claim unsubstantiated]

Yeah that kinda doesnt make sense if it launched on both consoles. Why would they even pay for that?
Just read the recent Square thread and you will see many people wishing for it to be acquired and release their games on gamepass day one.
One thing to note about the cross-play deal is that the deal would have been before Sony changed/forced to change it's stance on cross-play. It released early 2018 and it was not until the Summer 2018 they started getting push back and not until 2019 until they really begin to make progress (after Layden got called out about it)
Not to say that it does not suck when companies do this, but it might be better in the future.

yeah, this. thread title is missing the more important detail.
On planet Earth where you can invest those funds into your first party or fund new games. Moneyhatting timed exclusivity for multiformat titles is moronic and short term.
Where are people seeing they paid to block cross play? The tweet says they paid to have the pc announcement delayed and are responsible for no cross play which we know since they didn't allow it in 2017. The cross play/ cross save is known info
Unless something changed since the last leak, you all aren't remembering correctly, this isn't the case. The only thing paid for was the delayed reveal of the PC version. It was always coming to Switch first. $6 million didn't pay for a year of exclusivity.
Pretty shitty move. Especially the crossplay situation if it is legit. I can't play with my buddies on ps4 because of sony? With all the other shit they been pulling lately...Nah son think I'm done buying their consoles if thats the case.
It's crazy to me that we've gone from paying for full console exclusives to paying to delay PC releases. My guess is the $ to make it full exclusive for Nintendo and Sony (World and Rise) is too much since capcom will make bank on PC, but the $ to delay the PC announcements isn't too high.
I would expect the sake of MHW2 in 2023. PS5/XBS and then PC in 2024
my guess is the anti cross play thing deal happened in 2017 long before the momentum for cross play gained Steam

None of this says anything about a PC stoppage here.Its still stuff people find out from the Capcom Leak.
What? That isn't how any of this works.
Your external partnership coffer is not your first party or funding new games coffer. They are different pools led by different teams with different strategic objectives.
Any rational person should. One of these things is objectively far far worse than the other.
that account has been known to share info from the capcom leaks for months now. they didn't just randomly tweet the info in the OP.
I uh don't agree with that at all personally, buying something for 6 months or a year while shitty, still allows the other user bases to get it eventually, while the other options are the ones that cut off everyone else outside of PC with Microsoft. Even then most Sony timed exclusives come to PC day 1 also. None of them are fully positive in my opinion and I own every damn system available.
The document OP just showed doesnt detail anything about stopping PC. So where is the meat here. All that image looks lIke is a poor Japanese translation.
Not currently but they've shut so many studios last gen and Japan studio is withering to nothing so it looks like efficiency/consolidation is a key target.
yeah. they just paid to delay the announcement of the PC version by a few months. you can't get much with just 6 million.

Timed exclusives are standard because Sony made it so.
You can't throw money at studios and just make al kinds of games happen. Studios have a specific portfolio and set of talents. And publishers don't want to invest in every type of studio for every type of game. Especially when a particular genre is dominated by a specific franchise. Sometimes it's a more efficient use of money to collaborate with a third party instead of trying to make your own clone.
Japan studio is gone, in its place is team asobi, and studios close all the time.
Oh, well that makes it even more silly then. They basically double moneyhatted it, but in the most ineffective way.
Just FYI but timed exclusives date back to like..the Atari days.
90% of the replies didn't actually read the portion of the document that is being detailed here and are still using it as a chance to have another "Fuck Sony" thread. You people are so boring.
Yeah, if I'm understanding it right this was way more grimy than what happened with Rise, Sony held back a PC version that would have been either day and date with consoles or much closer to it, instead of Nintendo paying to withhold the news that a PC version is coming but the version was still in development and wasn't going to be launched same day as Switch even without the deal.
do we know what do atl and btl stand for?Its still stuff people find out from the Capcom Leak.
Nintendo has been cool with cross play and cross save since the Wii U, so I have hope that it'll be there when the PC version launches.
