The President of the Sony gaming division communicates with io Publishing of computer games“We’ve made a lot of progress in releasing PC games over the years, so if it makes sense for the game and the studio, this is a great option. However, this is a decision we will always make for a specific game.” If nothing has changed in the plans, games from the aforementioned Haven and Firewalk teams are being developed at the same time as the PlayStation and PC versions. Hulst has already released live service games on PC v the first day admitted earlier.
“We will continue to invest in building new AAA development teams while improving the environment in which games are created to increase our positive impact on the gaming industry,” Hulst comments on the acquisition strategy.
