Sony acquires Nixxes Software studio, specialist in PC ports
Sony really seems to have a little communication problem. Shortly after chatting a lot about politics cross-gen of Microsoft which ultimately does not always do cross-gen (for example with Flight Simulator this month on Series X), Sony had admitted that most of its upcoming games on PS5… would also be available on PS4 (Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman Morales).
Rebelotte recently with a new spike on the all-out redemption policy of Microsoft, followed a few days later by the announcement of the acquisition by Sony of the studio Housemarque (Returnal) then today of the confirmation of the acquisition of Nixxes Software !
Nixxes Software is a major specialist in porting console games to PC. The studio was notably responsible for the PC port of Tomb Raider Underworld, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Hitman: Absolution and more recently Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Does this mean that Sony is planning to bring more AAA titles to PC? The future will tell.
