In a follow-up tweet, @EvanFilarca responded to those, saying that the timeline mentioned was “fake” by suggesting that the aforementioned ad “seems to have originated from Australia”:

Before people start saying this is fake due to the "Spring 2023" release window being highlighted in the legal text, this ad seems to have originated from Australia. Meaning, their Spring season is still Fall for the United States - primarily September, October & November.

This update was shared on the official PS5 subreddit, where numerous community members shared their thoughts on the supposed release timeline:
