PlayStation PC Ports Are Like Printing Money, Says Former Boss

Remember when the idea of PlayStation exclusives hitting PC was just a dream? Well, times have changed. We’re seeing titles like Spider-Man, Returnal, and Horizon making the leap. Former PlayStation boss, Shuhei Yoshida, recently opened up about this strategy, and let’s just say, it’s been very profitable for Sony.

Why the Shift to PC?

Yoshida explained that bringing games to PC opens up several key opportunities:

Expanding into New Markets

The PC gaming push also allows Sony to tap into lucrative markets like China, where PC gaming dominates. Consoles market isn’t popular in China, but the country has a very large PC gamer base.

So for reaching countries like China, PC release is really important.

What’s Next?

Sony’s commitment to PC ports continues, with The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. After 38 years with the company, Yoshida stepped down in January, He’s been quite vocal since then.

He headed Sony’s indies initiative.
He also mentioned he might have resisted with the live-service games push, and he spoke about a Bloodborne remaster.
