10 Insane Lies Told On Video Game Box Art

1. "Only On PlayStation" - Yakuza 0

Mass Effect 3 Cover Lies
Sega

A select number of PS4 games were released with the "Only on PlayStation" label on the front cover, obviously implying that these games were permanently exclusive to the PS4 and wouldn't ever be found on other platforms.

Though the majority of Only on PlayStation games have stayed that way, a number have since been ported to PC, and in the case of Yakuza 0, it's now available on both PC and Xbox One.

While additional availability is certainly a good thing for gamers in general, the banner boast does seem rather silly because true console exclusivity is such a rarity these days.

Furthermore, the physical release of Yakuza 0 still contains the exclusivity banner as Sega hasn't bothered to produce a new manufacturing run with the now-incorrect claim removed.

Again, there are far worse distortions of the truth on this list, but it does mean the front cover looks a bit daft to anyone who counts it among their collection.
