Sony thinks PC is more interesting than PlayStation?
By 2025, Sony aims to release half of its games for the PlayStation and half for the PC and mobile phones.
The brand announces this during its annual investor day. The plan is to have about half of the releases on PC or mobile by 2025. In the same presentation, that seems to be a clear increase. This year, only a quarter of releases are for PC or mobile and the rest for PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles.
President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, put it this way according to Video Games Chronicle:
By expanding into PC and mobile, and it must be said… also into live services, we have the opportunity to move from a situation where we have a presence in a very narrow segment of the gaming software market, to a presence everywhere
Due to the growth in PC and mobile gaming, the number of people who play Sony’s games is increasing considerably. Just like the number of people who spend money on it, by the way, Jim adds at the investor meeting.
At the same meeting, it also appears that releasing games like Horizon Zero Dawn† Days Gone and God of War on the PC next to the PlayStation, the company pays off. Last year a sales amount of almost 75 million euros was noted for PC sales and this year Sony expects to collect more than 280 million euros. Reason enough indeed seems to us to further broaden the horizon to the PC.
