Sony Will Reportedly Lessen the Number of Games It Brings to PC Moving Forward

Sony's strategy for porting PlayStation exclusives to PC is shifting, with a potential move towards keeping single-player titles exclusive to consoles for longer periods. The focus may now be on live service games rather than traditional single-player experiences. While Sony continues to port select titles to PC, player engagement data shows mixed results; games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Man Remastered, and Ghost of Tsushima achieved high peak concurrent players, while others like Horizon Forbidden West and Last of Us Part II had lower peaks. HellDivers 2 has outperformed other titles in Sony's PC offerings. Sony's relationship with the PC gaming community has been strained due to initial registration requirements for the PlayStation Network, which were later reversed. Upcoming console exclusives, such as Marvel’s Wolverine, suggest Sony may prioritize hardware sales over PC releases.

Hundreds Of Delisted Xbox 360 Games Now Have The Potential To Return On PC

XenonRecomp is a software tool that converts Xbox 360 executables into C++ code, allowing for the potential porting of Xbox 360 games to PC. This process is unofficial and may face challenges from original publishers. While some games, like Sonic Unleashed, have already been ported, the complexity of the process may limit the number of successful transitions. Many Xbox 360 titles were delisted from the marketplace when the old Xbox Store was closed, and XenonRecomp may be a key method for preserving these games. Xbox head Phil Spencer has shown interest in exploring options for delisted Xbox 360 games.
