The era of PlayStation exclusives may finally be at an end.
Square Enix and Sony have had partnerships that date back several years now. Many, if not most, of the games developed by Square Enix ended up being exclusive to PlayStation platforms.

Zoidberg Dance Glitch Leads to Yoda Ban in Fortnite
Absurd, this title is.
Yoda has been banned from Fortnite. Epic Games found that the little green alien dude was just too damn powerful and was capable of crashing game clients when paired with the Zoidberg Scuttle emote.
