Isn't that exactly what Shawn Layden said back in 2019?
Makes sense to put multiplayer games on PC as well, especially with crossplatform mp being a thing nowadays.
No. Shawn was the one who thought PS had to start porting old games to PC. He also thought that was a good idea to bet harder on multiplayer. But are two separate things.
That will probably be the majority of all multiplat Playstation titles. All GaaS will be on PS and PC.
Sony said they plan to release a total of zero games on PS+PC during the current fiscal year and during the fiscal year 2025. They don't plan to release day one any PS Studios games on PC. They only will do it with the Bungie titles.
The current fiscal year they will port 2 titles to PC, being one of them the Uncharted Collection. I bet the other one will be the bundle of TLOU remake and TLOU2 PS5.
Are people assuming that multi-platform = all platforms going forward?
Would not be surprised to see a move towards a prioritisation along the lines of:
1. PlayStation
2. Mobile
3. PC
…. daylight …..
4. Other consoles
For them multiplatform means Bungie releasing day one in all platforms including rival consoles but PS Studios to continue focusing on making new PS only games, but also porting more old games to PC and making more mobile games.
Their priority for at least the next 3 fiscal years will be:
1. PlayStation
....
2. PC ports of old games and Bungie titles
3. Mobile
....
4. Bungie games and MLB also released on rival consoles
This is only for PS Studios, Bungie isn't included here but plan to continue releasing Destiny 2 stuff and before 2026 will release "at least" one new IP. I counted how many projects were in each bar and made the graph of the top right to see better the difference. Notice that the cost of new PS games is way higher than a port or a mobile game. And they will invest way more on PS only games than before.
