In an interview at Famitsuthe president of playstation spoke about PC games, and the place they have in Sony’s policy. The Japanese company counts increase the number of PS5 titles on PC at a significant rate“, without giving a specific window.

Jim Ryan nevertheless indicated that he spoke with PlayStation fans, which led him to believe that ” selling PC versions of our PlayStation games after two or three seems to be favorably accepted“. Some might say that they are rather pc gamers who would have a say in this story, but that’s a whole other topic…

Last April, in its report to investors, Sony noted the very good performance of its new strategy, and confirmed its desire to bring even more games to the PC – we will also remember the takeover of Nixxes Software in this sense. However, will a period of two to three years hold up over the long term? There hype could well evaporate, especially since the quality is not always there; most of Sony’s ports have been extremely poorly optimizedwith the latest example being the catastrophic The Last of Us Part 1.

Hopefully, however, Sony has a little more consideration for its potential customers, in particular by not blocking certain studios on their choice of platforms. Also, some titles like Bloodborne are expected for years, but despite the persistent rumors, Sony still does not seem to want to give itself the means to put them on PC.

With this philosophy centered only on returns made after sales and not player expectations before the availability of a product, not sure that Sony will succeed in its charm operation with the PC community…
