In an interview withPlayStation Blog,Sony Worldwide Studioshead Hermen Hulst talked about what players can expect from PlayStation through the rest of 2021 and into 2022. As part of these discussions, Hulst gave some insight into the current PlayStation strategy behind putting some games on PC.
“We’re still early on in our planning for PC. And Horizon Zero Dawn has been very successful. I think it shows there’s an appetite from gamers outside the PlayStation ecosystem to experience the amazing portfolio of games that PlayStation fans have enjoyed for years,” Hulst says.
He adds that PlayStation consoles will remain the “best place to play our PlayStation Studios titles at launch” but that PC gamers are valued and PC releases will happen at the “right times.”
Hulst finishes by saying that “Releasing games on PC will not come ever at the expense of building an exciting lineup of great console games.”
