Can't see anything from official channels on this yet, but this has turned up on PS5 and on the PS Store -- so PS5 confirmed too, I guess?

You're just asking me to update the topic title tomorrow, aren't you?

Nope 

Maybe it's just me and because I go back to old threads to read them from time to time (and also occasionally to revive them), but I don't really see the need to update thread titles post-launch and quite like having the release date stick around, as that way you can easily read when the thread was made, when the game released (so I can look for a specific date in the thread to find early impressions from people playing it rather than randomly jumping around and potentially stumbling on spoilers if it's a bit of an older game), and when the last post in the thread was, all in one go. 

Otherwise I need to go Googling around for game release dates while going back to old threads, which is a bit of a pain? 

Unless you were referring to 'AVAILABLE TODAY', which I don't mind seeing post-launch, as I can then tell at a quick glance that it was a shadow-drop, and those are always cool, so long as the actual release date is still there too for some context

Or you could look at the thread created date under the topic title in the listing or at the top of each page.

It was more that the title will be factually inaccurate tomorrow as it reads as "available today, 23rd January"

But I'm mostly pulling your leg.

My point was more that you could see all three pieces of info I listed at once when scrolling through the threads:

Eh, like I said, so long as the date's still there I think it's obvious it was made available on that day after being announced that same day [23rd Jan], it's like taking issue with a newspaper headline which says "a vote is expected today" – obviously there's the context of the newspaper being dated so you know when "today" was anyways
