Jim Ryan suggests more PlayStation game ports for PC -apkrig

Sony Interactive Entertainment President Jim Ryan told prestigious Japanese magazine Famitsu that he is looking forward to working with Nixxes on PC games. According to him, they are at the beginning of the journey to bring their own brands to the PC, and it is the Dutch team that is supposed to help them with that. If you’re still wondering if Sony is serious about PC ports and PlayStation exclusivity conversions on your PC, this is another strong argument. This is despite the fact that until recently the company claimed that it had no specific strategy and long-term plan in this sense.

PlayStation remains a priority platform for the Japanese manufacturer.

Nixxes previously helped with game ports such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Rise of the Tomb Raider or Thief. They collaborated mainly with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. Sony announced the purchase of the studio in early July, with the Dutch team joining the technical and support studios of PlayStation Studios. It is intended to help other first party Sony developers.

However, PlayStation Studios boss Herman Hulst insists the PlayStation remains a priority platform for the Japanese maker. He recently praised the success of Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC, demonstrating the interest of players outside the PlayStation ecosystem. about the amazing portfolio of titles that PlayStation fans have been enjoying for years. “But I want to emphasize that PlayStation will remain the best place to play games from PlayStation Studios when they are launched,” said Hulst.

Earlier in Sony’s internal presentation, it was mentioned that the next title, which is to target the PC, will be the action adventure Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

According to him, Sony values ​​players on a PC and will choose which titles to send to a PC and when. He also hinted with regard to Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone that selected games from PlayStation could be released on a PC approximately two years after they debuted on the console. Earlier in Sony’s internal presentation, there was also a mention that the next title, which is to target the PC, will be the action adventure Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

Jim Ryan said some time ago that further PC releases will follow this year and the upcoming ones. With an easier porting process, Sony plans to reach a wider audience and offset the ever-increasing development costs. Already in May, a record of more games appeared in the PlayStation Studios profile on Steam than Sony has released on a PC so far.
