10 Console Exclusives This Generation That Went Multiplatform

NieR: Automata

The first NieR game initially released for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, albeit under different subtitles, and it had mediocre reviews. Expectations were much higher, however, for the Platinum Games developed follow-up. Those expectations were justified when the excellent NieR: Automata finally released on PlayStation 4 in March 2017. It may have been overshadowed for many by Horizon Zero Dawn and the Nintendo Switch, both of which released within a week of it, but it garnered plenty of praise. It stayed exclusive to Sony’s system for more than a year, coming to the Xbox One on June 26, 2018.
