Don’t expect PlayStation games to launch simultaneously on PCIn case you had hoped
In case you had hoped
Was anyone really expecting Sony to start releasing their games simultaneously across PC and console? Panicked PlayStation 5 owners, perhaps - but even they should fret no longer. In aninterview with Game Informer, head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst committed to PC releases coming only after a period of exclusivity.
On the subject of simultaneous releases, Hulst said that he “honestly can’t see us doing that with one of the platform-defining experiences that we’re making at PlayStation Studios.”

“Typically, there have been about two years between the release on our platform and the PC platform. But you can rely on us to continue to create platform-defining exclusive content for PlayStation – that’s part of the reason why we exist. It’s really important for us to squeeze the maximum out of the platform, to build showcases for the platform, and really let the audience see what these great features are contributing to the overall experience.”
I’m OK with this. There’s plenty in Sony’s back catalogue to keep me happy if it continues to trickle across to our favoured machines, whether that’s Spider-Man orBloodborneor Dreams orTokyo Jungle.
