It’s so weird that Microsoft or/and Sony secure exclusivity for current-gen multiplatform titles, when backwards compatibility is a thing. Sure, you won’t see the enhancements on one system for the first year or so, but the game is playable on both next-gen systems and that’s what matters the most in my opinion.
