Godt nok udgav Sony Horizon: Zero Dawn for noget tid siden, men derefter hørte vi intet i lang, lang tid, og det lod i stedet til at der måske var tale om et enkelt tilfælde, snarere end begyndelsen på en ny strategi for Sony. Men sådan blev det ikke, for nu kommer blandt andet Days Gone til april, og derefter en række andre prominente PlayStation-eksklusiver til PC.
Derfor er det sjovt at høre PlayStation-chefen Jim Ryan sige i et interview, at der er tale om en "straightforward decision".
"I think a few things changed. We find ourselves now in early 2021 with our development studios and the games that they make in better shape than they've ever been before. Particularly from the latter half of the PS4 cycle our studios made some wonderful, great games. There's an opportunity to expose those great games to a wider audience and recognise the economics of game development, which are not always straightforward. The cost of making games goes up with each cycle, as the calibre 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."
Blandt andet Sony Santa Monica og Media Molecule har udtrykt interesse i at bringe henholdsvis God of War og Dreams til PC.
