Sony brings back the “PlayStation Exclusive” badge on Until Dawn 2 and Ghost of Yōtei

The official pages for Until Dawn 2 and Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition on the PlayStation website now display a “PlayStation Exclusive” badge next to the games' names. The change was spotted by X user NextGenPlayer and picked up by outlets such as Twisted Voxel, PixelTwelve and GameGPU between November 7 and 8, 2026.

What changed on the official pages

For Until Dawn 2, the PlayStation Exclusive badge reinforces what the official page already states in its FAQ: the game is exclusive to PlayStation 5 consoles. Developed by Firesprite, the interactive horror game arrives on January 28, 2027 for US$ 49.99, with PS5 Pro support, and follows a new team of ghost hunters on a remote island — with Dr. Hill, played by Peter Stormare, as the only returning character from the first game.

Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition, meanwhile, bundles the base game, the Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion and the Most Wanted survival mode. The PlayStation Exclusive badge appears on the Complete Edition page, which Sony currently promotes in the United States.

A sign of Sony's shift

The branding comeback did not come out of nowhere. In June, a Sony trailer had already brought back the “Only on PlayStation” label in Ghost of Yōtei material. In May, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier reported that PlayStation Studio Business Group CEO Hermen Hulst told staff in an internal town hall that narrative single-player games would now be PlayStation exclusive. In April, Sony had also begun removing mentions of PC from PlayStation's back-end pages, according to Twisted Voxel.

One caveat is in order: Sony has made no official announcement about the badge's return, and the badge alone does not rule out a PC version in the future — GameGPU also noted an asterisk next to the label on the page, with no explanation. What is confirmed is the signal: after years of bringing big exclusives to PC with a delay, Sony is once again highlighting, on its official storefront, that its major narrative games live on PS5.
