Sony has started to adopt the strategy of making its PS4 and PS5 games eventually come to PC. With this, users will be able to play Sony games that are released, without having to pay for an additional system in case they want to enjoy said titles because Sony simply does not want to.
Although this is good news, because it will allow more people to play them, they do not plan to do simultaneous releases in a general way. The games that are titles as a service are the ones that will be released on PS4, PS5 and PC at the same time, while the rest of the games that Sony produces will end up coming out on PC after at least a year.
You can play Sony games on PC if you wait a bit
Herman Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios; declared in an interview with youtuber Julien Chièze, this release plan for his games. The reason that games as a service are going to have this simultaneous launch is because they want to have a very strong initial community. Therefore, making the games come out on as many platforms as possible is very important to them.
To give an example, God of War: Ragnarok is coming out this November, so we won't see it on PC until at least the end of 2023. Although it could be delayed a bit longer and go into 2024. This doesn't mean that each and every one of their games will come to PC, but it does mean that games will take about a year from their release to arrive on PC.
With all this, the PS4 and SP5 will remain an option solely for games and some multimedia content, cheaper than a quality gaming PC, and will receive Sony titles a year before they appear on PC. It's always good to give users options and not just leave them with the choice of buying a console to play games or not, especially when the PC user market has grown due to remote work and virtual classrooms. Owning a device solely for gaming is becoming a luxury , which is how consoles have always been, and now more than ever as PCs with gaming capabilities are increasingly in demand, allowing users to centralize entertainment, work, and education on a single system. Thus, we may see titles like Returnal or Demon's Souls on PC in a few months .
