MARVEL'S AVENGERS Is Getting More Exclusive Content On PlayStation 4 When It Launches MARVEL'S AVENGERS Is Getting More Exclusive Content On PlayStation 4 When It Launches

There's been some controversy surrounding Spider-Man being a PlayStation 4 exclusive for Marvel's Avengers, but that won't be the only PS4-only content the game will include when it launches next month.

Ever since it was confirmed that Marvel's Avengers on PlayStation 4 will later include Spider-Man as a playable character, there's been a lot of backlash from gamers on other platforms. Considering the web-slinger's solo franchise is exclusive to Sony consoles, this was to be expected, but we now have more news that's sure to upset Xbox users. 

For each of the six heroes included in the game at launch along with those coming down the line like Hawkeye, PS4 players will get first dibs on different costumes, emotes, and other customisation options.

It doesn't sound like these will necessary be free; instead, PlayStation owners will just be able to buy them before anyone else. However, if you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber, the good news keeps coming as you'll receive free bundles for every post-launch character, as well as a new look for Ms. Marvel when Marvel's Avengers is released on September 4th. 

"When it comes to cosmetics, PlayStation players will have 30-day exclusive access to a Legendary Outfit, Legendary Emote, Epic Takedown, and nameplate for each Super Hero as they are released – this is also for the six launch heroes," Crystal Dynamics community and social media manager Andy Wong confirms. "In addition, we also have rewards for those with a PlayStation Plus subscription."

"For each Super Hero added to the game post-launch, Hawkeye included, all PS Plus members will receive a free bundle that contains a Rare Outfit, nameplate, and 100 Credits to celebrate the addition of another Avenger to the roster. At launch, we’ll have a free bundle for Ms. Marvel available for PS Plus members to embiggen our love for Kamala!"

@Darkknight2149 - Yeah that's what happens when Xbox moves towards a subscription base model rather than game exclusives. Xbox is stupid to invest more in cross platform (PC & their console) rather than new exclusive games in my opinion.

@mastakilla39 -
That's one of the reasons I'm a Playstation guy. All of the stuff I like (Mortal Kombat, Silent Hill, DC and Marvel comics, Last of Us, God of War, etc) gets all of the exclusives on that console.

I was legit set on pre-ordering this week... But after the Spidey thing and seeing more looks at their "store" I dunno anymore. And I'm on PS4.

@Kurne - Weird reaction. Unless you're considering getting it on a different platform because you think there may be a better option elsewhere.

I get that exclusives and DLC suck. But all of these exclusives are inherently superfluous to the rest of the game. In ten years, you won't care which Hulk skin you played through the game with. It won't really matter whether you missed out on playing as War Machine on the Xbox. Ultimately what really matters is the core game and whether you enjoy it.

I used to get all twisted up about trying to collect every unlockable to make sure I got "the most complete experience", but life's too short for that. If you want to play a game, play it. Get as much joy out of it as you reasonably can in your short time on Earth, and leave room for more important things.

@Kurne - why wouldn't you want it on the PS4? Crystal Dynamics and Sony are literraly giving you every good incentive to buy it only for playstation. Free Spider-man DLC & free digital upgrade to PS5 through smart delivery.

Sony should buy WB Games next. Become the all-inclusive home for capeshit video games

@tmp3 - Unfortunately its probably going to be the other way around. Xbox may buy that and make all Rocksteady games Xbox exclusives.

Wish there were no more exclusives tbh. And that crossplay was the norm across PS and Xbox.

@Nightwing1015 - If Xbox makes DC games console exclusive then I guess I’ll have to live with never playing a DC game again. Heh.

@TheUnworthyThor - They should've made this shit a PS exclusive and be done with it.

@TexasAvenger - Exactly wtf is their problem. I have a PS4 and a Xbox but idk wtf crystal dynamics are trying to gain from this or wtf they’re thinking by alienating a fanbase

@PantherKing - I have both too but was gonna get it on Xbox to play with my brother and cousins. This tanked my enthusiasm for the game.

@TexasAvenger - They’re taking a piss on fans and are forgetting that marvel fans aren’t exclusive to PS4 🤦‍♂️

@PantherKing - Looks like they're trying to make Marvel synonymous with PlayStation. Pass.
