The PS5's early access pre-order incentives are becoming increasingly exclusive, and the latest example, Control Resonant, is a case in point. The game's Digital Deluxe Edition offers 48 hours of early access, but this incentive is a PS5 exclusive, theoretically making Control Resonant a console exclusive for two days. This is a bit sad, as it reflects the current state of pre-order incentives, which are becoming more and more exclusive. The Communications director, Thomas Puha, clarified that the pre-order offer is indeed a PS5 exclusive, and this raises a deeper question about the value of early access pre-order bonuses. While it's a positive for PS5 owners, it's a bit silly when compared to the same price for the Digital Deluxe Edition on both consoles. This exclusive pre-order bonus is a PS5 exclusive, and it's a bit of a downer for Xbox Series X|S owners. The early access pre-order bonus could at least slightly loosen the load on the September 2026 release schedule, but it's still a bit silly. This raises a deeper question about the future of early access pre-order bonuses and their impact on console exclusivity. What do you make of this? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
