The next milestone on this journey is the launch of ‘Helldivers II’, a fan-awaited cooperative shooter, which will be available on both PS5 and PC from February 8th.
With development now complete and on schedule, PlayStation reaffirms its commitment to expanding to new platforms.
However, the strategy of bringing PlayStation exclusives to the PC is nothing new, and expectations for 2024 are even bolder.
Rumors suggest that renowned titles such as ‘The Last of Us Part II’, ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ and ‘God of War Ragnarok‘, could make their debut on computers throughout the year.
This represents a significant step for Sony studios, which, for the first time, are developing games for a format other than traditional consoles.
Despite high expectations, leaked documents from the hack Insomniac indicate that sales of PlayStation exclusives on PC have not yet reached significant peaks.
‘Horizon: Zero Dawn’, for example, led sales with 3.3 million copies sold, pointing to challenges that the brand still faces when expanding its reach to new platforms.
Yoshida’s vision, however, remains clear: PlayStation is committed to becoming a constant presence in the gaming industryregardless of the platform chosen by players.
As more of PlayStation’s iconic titles prepare to make the leap to PC in 2024, the gaming scene eagerly awaits the next steps in this cross-platform journey.
