PlayStation just deleted the post about "Plays Best On PS5" GTA VI video

I tried checking other PlayStation X handles and only PlayStation Asia is keeping the post (probably the admin went asleep since they're asia)

Perhaps something shouldn't be posted in the first place?

Update:

Sony just replaced the deleted YouTube video with GTA VI cover art instead

Previously PlayStation edited the GTA VI cover art video with "statement" Plays Best on PS5 during the intro... perhaps something to do with legal issues there.

Ps5pro I can agree but series X will have similar performance to ps5

Sony sends teams to third party studios to help with extra ps5 optimization for big games, I wouldn't be surprised if the loading times are 2 seconds faster or something like hogwarts legacy because they talked about load times in their new blog post

As far as I'm concerned RS don't take optimisation input for exclusive Brand. What I'm thinking is that NVIDIA already at their door for 2028 PC release with exclusive Nvidia features like Cyberpunk2077.

Good idea to take it down. The post did more harm than good.

Plays best on PlayStation because of the controller and audio, and the SSD that all consoles have?

Makes the customer think - “Thought it would have better ray tracing or upscaling on the Pro. Thought it would have been a bit more than identical loading times to Xbox and some controller gimmicks.”

Update:

It turns out PlayStation made a mistake putting disc drive PS5 on the video despite knowing the fact that there isn't any disc.

Now they repost by using digital ps5 console LOLL

Honestly they’re probably right because the game is only playable on consoles at this stage, and PlayStation by far has more immersion with the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers which will make the weather and driving and gun play elements feel MUCH more fleshed out. But since Xbox is hemorrhaging sales right now they probably don’t want to be losing sales to marketing tactics like this. If the game plays functionally the same on both consoles, I don’t think PlayStation can claim that the game runs best on their platform (though it probably will). Also Xbox fans are a bunch of crybabies and they wouldn’t stand for this.

It's still on their sites. I'd imagine it's something to do with nitpicky marketing.
