PlayStation doubles down on slow, "thoughtful" PC porting strategy

techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2025-09-11 06:42:00

In a nutshell: Sony's PC porting strategy has been clear from the start. It is in no rush to follow Xbox's multiplatform strategy. It wants to preserve the value of the PlayStation 5 by making sure high-end exclusives like Spider-Man and God of War remain showcases for the console first – and only reach PC when the timing feels right. Sony Interactive Entertainment's Studio Business Group CEO Hermen Hulst says the company is continuing to take a "measured" approach to porting major first-party

Over the years, several internal studios have delivered blockbuster franchises like God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and The Last of Us. But spare a thought for the ones that didn’t make the cut: for whatever reason, they just didn’t resonate or hit desired benchmarks, and now remain as odd one-offs with a niche fanbase that loves it for what it was and
