Did those idiots really add Bloodborne and Marvel's Spider-Man? Two first-party exclusives? What baloney!
Neither of those games are first party... Sony doesn't own From Software, and they didn't own Insomniac at time of release.
How dare sony have exclusives?! That's anti consumer! Now buying the whole company, that's very pro consumer!
I'm not a doctor but I'd avoid Twitter for a while after that.....
Both games are first-party.
Sony owns Bloodborne IP.
Sony has the game license rights for Spider-man IP.
And to be fair where you get that bullshit that to be a first party game it needs to be developed by Sony? You can have first-party games developed by 3rd-party studios.
Yeah both MS and Sony will typically refer to games they publish or fund/moneyhat as first party. Most of these in the past would be considered second party but that term seems to have vanished.
It makes sense. Before they acquired Playground, didn’t everyone consider Horizon to be first party?

Bloodborne like Demons Souls IP is owned by Playstation. Not sure about Spiderman
I have no ideia where you get these things…
First-party means the IP is owned or licensed/publishing rights by the platform holder.
Who develop or who the platform holder pays to develop the game has no importance to be a first-party game.
Regardless of dynamitecop playing semantics, anyone expecting those two games to come to Xbox is out to lunch .
lol, you are so far up Phil's arse you are literally breathing for him.
+1 for the troll man fs haha
Just because a Title that a platform owner owns the IP of isn't developed 100% in-house does not mean it isn't still first party. If you own the IP and are paying for the game to be developed via a contract and are the sole owner of IP and the sole publisher of IP it makes it First party.
Bloodborne though developed mostly by From Software was a development deal between Sony/Japan Studio/From Software and they own Bloodborne making it first party title since they are the sole publisher and owner of said IP and paid for IP to be made.
ooof idiots.
Sony can do whatever they fucking want with their own games

You are veeeery very wrong.
So Crackdown 3 wasn't first party? Sackboy Adventures? Returnal? What about Metroid Dread? Ratchet & Clank? Resistance?
A console manufacturer can fund external studios to develop games based on IPs they (will) own. Games would still be first party (or second party to differentiate with games built inhouse).
In case of Spider-Man, Marvel asked Sony to make a Spider-Man game, Sony chose Insomniac as a dev. While Spider-Man as a character is not owned by Sony, Insomniac's "Marvels Spider-Man" is a first party game. No one else outside of Sony could ever create a sequel to it set in the same "universe".
The crazy shit is going to be that some people will actually think they made this possible.
Sony funded both games you muppet.
They literally paid third party developers to make games for them. Other developers on PS Studios worked on both games.
