Even if it was on PS5, I play solo so you still wouldn't be able to hunt me down. lol
It's cool that the game has cross-play on four platforms for those who'll be playing co-op.
And if your friends are on PS5, they’ve got better games to play than Redfall!
Given what's been shown of the game, it'll need all the help it can get.
People should be hoping this is opt-in/opt-out, and that the leaderboards are both unified and per-platform. Hacking and cheaters on the PC side can definitely deter the online, it's happened with Forza Horizon 5 as an example. MS and Arkane should have some countermeasures to enforce in nullifying that problem.
If they don't, the game will be dead within weeks, and that's assuming the final release is enough a bump over what's been shown before to make for a more compelling offering.

One major platform missing.... Phil said they didn't take anything away from the PS fanbase but the absence of PlayStation is clearly evident.
Anyway, I hope it does well and people enjoy it. Doesn't look like my type of thing though.

This is mostly a pve game so i dont see how cheaters would be a big problem?

Exclusive to Xbox*
*Also available on Steam, EGS and Now lol
Remember how many platforms there are when the shills start with the number warz. "See! Microsoft does make exclusives that people love! 3 million people have played it! only 500,000 on xbox though"

TBH given other games coming to PlayStation before & after May, and there's no slim pickings for horror-themed games on the platform (plus isn't there a Vampire: The Masquerades-based 4-player shooter already out?), I don't think there'd be much a go for the PlayStation audience, especially if the final game is lukewarm like the more recent footage has been (IMO).
Also think Sony were aware of the game enough back when they got Deathloop & Ghostwire Tokyo exclusivity deals that if they were impressed enough with RedFall, they'd probably had tried similar. Sometimes I even doubt the rumors they were attempting to get Starfield; it was known before Deathloop & Ghostwire publicly, so Sony would've known of it even before those games. If they got timed exclusivity on Deathloop & Ghostwire, why wouldn't they have done so for Starfield ahead of those unless they never planned for timed exclusivity (but maybe settle for marketing rights instead)?
But I do hope the game finds its audience; it'll have a large enough base across those four platforms to do so, theoretically.
Hackers & cheaters could load out their characters to be way over-levelled compared to players on console, and create a lopsided co-op experience. You still need some degree of skill balance so the group feels like they're discovering new things together.
