Since sony has announced the acquisition of Nixxes who are known primarily for their PC ports in the past it’s likely that wasn’t the true motive for their acquisition but maybe it was the backward compatibility program.
The exact statement issued by sony is:
No where does that mention anything about PC ports. This is the statement from the head of Nixxes:
Again, nothing to do with PC. And since they were acquired in June, the two big PC ports Sony has announced aren’t even being handled by them. Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection is being brought to PC by Iron Galaxy and done on PS5 by Naughty Dog themselves. The other big port God of War is being done by Jetpack Interactive in collaboration with SMS. Now tell me why if a big company like sony spent that amount of money for a studio to bolster it’s pc ports why their two big pc ports aren’t being touched by them? What are they saving them for?
I think Nixxes is working with sony the way microsofts BC/FPS Boost team works on their hardware to scale older backward compatible games. I think Nixxes are gonna help be bring native emulation of ps2/PSX games to ps5 with similar upscaling tech and trophy support. What better studio to do it other than them?
I think sony will continue outsourcing it’s handful of annual pc ports to external studios for the foreseeable futre
The exact statement issued by sony is:
“I highly respect Nixxes and am excited for this very experienced team to become part of the world-class development community at SIE,” Hulst said in a news release. “They have a passion for improving games and for delivering the best possible experience for gamers. Nixxes will be a strong asset for everyone across PlayStation Studios, helping our teams focus on their most important goal, which is to create unique PlayStation content at the best possible quality.”

“excited to bring our technical and development expertise to an IP powerhouse like PlayStation Studios.”
