Trivia
- Despite mainly including Sony-owned IPs, some characters are exceptions due to being integral to PlayStation's past, being included under license from Sega, Activision, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Konami and Square Enix.
- The Metal Gear and Silent Hill series now count as such, since their developer Kojima Productions currently holds an exclusive partnership with Sony, even if Konami still owns the latter.
- This is also the main reason why Spider-Man wasn't included on it, since despite the 2018 video game being developed for Sony, its IP belongs to The Walt Disney Company through Marvel Comics.
- The decision of focusing mainly on Sony-owned IPs is mainly to avoid deviating from the fact it is PlayStation with the only third party characters being connected to PlayStation's past.
- Markus, Coco Bandicoot, Carmelita Fox and Sam Drake are technically reskins of Connor, Crash, Sly Cooper and Nathan Drake with some adjustments made.
