PS4 Watch Dogs And Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Extra Content Exclusivity Expires After Six Months
Sony recently lost one of its PlayStation 4 launch exclusives with the delay of DriveClub. The latest video highlighting the next-gen console points out the remaining exclusives, revealing that the extra Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs content will only be exclusive for six months.
Each game has an additional 60 minutes of content when you play on Sony's consoles, but it looks like that content might become DLC for competing consoles after a period of time. Just because Ubisoft can release the content for other consoles after six-months, however, is not a guarantee that it will.

Our Take
This is a pretty common practice now – timed exclusivity – so it's not too surprising to learn that this is the case. I imagine that the extra content might not be hugely impactful to the story of the two games, but we will have to wait and see.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
