Activision has confirmed in the latest trailer that the new Call of Duty Vanguard will receive time-exclusive content for PS4 and PS5. This does not sit well with players on other platforms. How long the exclusivity is planned and how players react to it, you can find out here with us on MeinMMO.
What is the deal with the exclusive content? For several years, Call of Duty has been offering exclusive content for PlayStation consoles with new installments. This is the case again with CoD Vanguard, as shown in recent trailers.
Which content is exclusive? This is not yet fully clear. According to CharlieIntel, two additional slots for your loadouts have definitely been confirmed so far. This means PlayStation players will have two more loadouts for their equipment setups.
It remains to be seen what other content will come. There was also an exclusive deal for Cold War that even went too far for Sony fans.
At that time, PlayStation players received the following content:
- Battle Pass Bundle Bonus: If you purchased the premium battle pass, 5 additional levels, totaling 25 levels, were unlocked.
- PlayStation Party Bonus: Players on PlayStation received a 25 percent bonus on weapon XP when playing in a team (even with non-PS players).
- Double XP Bonus: Every month there were 24-hour events in which PlayStation players received double XP.
- Extra Loadouts: PlayStation players received two additional slots for loadouts.
- Zombie Mode Onslaught: This additional game mode for Zombies was initially only available on PlayStation. Other platforms received the mode only on November 1, 2021 – just before the launch of CoD Vanguard.
Whether the bonuses will be as generous this year remains to be seen. Players are, however, fearing the worst.
How long are the contents exclusive? In the last trailers for the zombie mode, there was a promotional note about the exclusive content. Here, November 1 is mentioned as the end of the time exclusivity, as was the case this year with Cold War.
“I’m not saying this just because I’m an Xbox guy, but there should NOT be exclusivity.”
This is how fans react: Reactions are mixed. On one hand, most players are not really surprised and have already gotten used to the procedure.
- Nevertheless, there are still numerous fans who do not endorse this practice at all. Coolade even goes so far as to call it fraud: “I’m not saying this just because I’m an Xbox guy, but exclusivity should NOT exist. […] Locking content to a specific platform is in a way equivalent to fraud.” (via Twitter)
- Discount adds: “I also don’t see why we should suffer from it.” (via Twitter).
- Most hope especially that this time there will be no exclusive content for the zombie mode. They fear major disadvantages from this deal.
- RyTheZombieGuy writes: “I find it just stupid how they think it won’t have any consequences for the community if they make something exclusive for a year. Especially since every Onslaught map contains information and things like blueprints.” (via Twitter)
Which content exactly falls under this deal remains to be seen. However, the fact that the hints about exclusivity have appeared in the new trailers for the zombie mode makes players particularly skeptical.
The story was recently revealed in a substantial trailer: In the zombie mode of CoD Vanguard, you save Europe from an army of armored Nazi zombies.
The topic of exclusivity regularly causes discussions. Every console manufacturer tries to convince customers of its platform with such content.
