Not only is Sony working on a brand new PlayStation VR headset alongside controllers, but some of its library is making the leap to PC. This already happened with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Death Stranding and Hori🔜zon Zero Dawn, but꧂ now Days Gone is joining in on the fun.
This is starting in Spring, but Days Gone is just the catalyst as it will kickstart a "whole slate" of ports. What these will be is unknown at this time, but perhaps Sony is attempting to rival Xbox's approach of putting its games onto PC to breach the exclusivity barrier. Whether an💝y of the big flagship equivalents to Halo follow suit, such as God of War, Ratchet & Clank, or even Sackboy, has yet to be seen.
As far as official statements go, PlayStation head Jim Ryan said, "There's an😼 opportunity to expose those great games to a wider audience and recognize the economics of game development, which are not always straightforward. The cost of making games goes up with each cycle, as the caliber of the IP has improved. Also, our ease of making it available to non-console owners has grown. So it's a fairly straightforward decision for us to make."
It seem🌺s as though Horizon Zero Dawn was testing the waters of porting PlayStation exclusives over to PC, even if that initial port wasn't the best. Ryan revealed, "We assessed the exercise in two ways. Firstly, in terms of the straightforward success of the activity of publishing the game on PC, people liked it and they bought it.
We also looked at it through the lens of what the PlayStation community thou😼ght about it. There was no massive adverse reaction to it. So we will continue to take mission steps in this direction."
Sony has a huge catalog of titles that could be ported over, but for now, it appears to be pushing forward with modern games while PlayStation Now, which is also already available on PC, covers the older experiences. No next-gen titles have made the leap yet, likely to keep the PlayStation 5 exclusive, but who knows? Maybe 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Forbidden West will appear on the Steam home page.
