Testing the Waters with Shift Up's Upcoming Game
Shift Up's upcoming game on PC will serve as a litmus test for the market for full-priced games, shining a light on the true impact of exclusivity. As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, it's clear that the impact of PS5 console exclusivity on game sales is a complex and multi-faceted issue that warrants further examination.
