Opinion: No, The Novelty of PlayStation Games on PC Has Not Worn Off

Alinea Analytics analyzed the performance of PlayStation games on PC, suggesting that the novelty of these titles has faded and that all major franchises have already been released on the platform. However, several significant titles, including Gran Turismo 7, Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, The Last of Us Part II, and The Order: 1886, are still not available on PC. Many PC gamers also own PlayStation consoles and prefer to buy games for immediate access rather than waiting for PC ports. The quality of PC ports has been inconsistent, with some titles facing backlash due to technical issues, while others have been successful. The requirement for a PSN account to access certain games created barriers for players in regions without PSN, affecting sales. Long wait times for PC releases and the temptation of piracy also impact game performance on Steam. Despite misconceptions, single-player games can succeed on PC, as evidenced by titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Hades. The discussion around PlayStation games on PC is more about strategic release decisions and quality rather than a decline in novelty.
