Given the relative popularity of Sony's franchises across the board, though, it's really anyone's guess which one might get picked next.

Sony could maintain some exclusive draw for Ghosts if it chooses to keep the PS4 and PS5's recent director's cut content locked to those versions, as appears will remain the case with PS5's Death Stranding Director's Cut. Our money is on Ghost of Tsushima, which has been a major success in its original 2020 incarnation.

Where does this leave Sony's PC plans looking into the next calendar year? Judging by its last tentpole PS4 exclusives, a safe bet is that something from its 2020 catalog will be in the cards.

(The Legacy of Thieves Collection port is being handled by former Sony exec Adam Boyes' studio Iron Galaxy.) Sony ramping up serious consideration of PC isn't even the craziest thing it has done recently, either, after PlayStation exclusive MLB The Show 21 landed on Xbox platforms in April. So far, though, Sony hasn't announced what Nixxes may be working on. Sony has also seemed to commit to the idea of bringing more of its first-party roster over with its recent acquisition of Nixxes, a studio that specializes in PC port for developers like Eidos-Montréal and Crystal Dynamics. "We do value PC gamers, and we'll continue to look at the right times to launch each game," he said. Holding to Layden's ideas, Hulst pointed out that Days Gone launched on PC roughly two years after its PS4 release. Sony's own consoles, he added, would continue to be the presumably only way to play new PlayStation Studios exclusive "at launch."

In a June interview on the Playstation Blog, current SIE President Hermen Hulst said, in the wake of Horizon's success, the company was still "planning" on how to approach the platform moving forward. So far, that holds to Sony's outward strategy. ( Death Stranding was also ported over in July 2020, with 505 Games on publishing duties.)įurther Reading Sony announces plan to publish PlayStation games on non-PS consoles Layden doesn't believe Sony will ever commit to simultaneous console and PC releases for its first-party games, either. Meanwhile, Sony followed an Uncharted 4 leak in May with an announcement at its September PS5 showcase that next year's Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection will hit PC shortly after its console launch. Following Horizon's launch in 2020, Days Gone hit the platform earlier this year. Speaking on the latest episode of the What's Up PlayStation podcast, Layden-who left Sony in October 2019-said he had been one of a number of people who were considering adopting a PC initiative in the time shortly before his retirement. It represented a seismic shift for a publisher protective of its wide array of console exclusives.īut as former CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Shawn Layden tells it, adopting a more open strategy for porting first-party titles to PC was actually an easy decision. So the company's choice to bring its PS4 hit Horizon Zero Dawn to PC in August 2020 felt like a precedent-changing move away from that barrier to entry. Sony has a long history of keeping its first-party games behind the walled garden of console exclusivity.
