You Can Now Launch First-Party PlayStation Games Through the Xbox PC App

A recent video has shown a first-party PlayStation game launching from Xbox’s new PC app, which is part of Microsoft's efforts to improve the Xbox PC app on Windows. This app now allows users to access software purchased from various storefronts, including Steam and the Epic Games Store. Popular PlayStation titles like God of War Ragnarok and Days Gone can be launched from the Xbox PC app, although this functionality is currently limited to beta testers. Users can create shortcuts to PlayStation games within the app, but cannot purchase or install them directly. The situation raises questions about the implications for Sony's strategies and the value of console exclusives. While this development opens up opportunities for Microsoft, it may also challenge its software sales and service pricing.

Sony Rolling Back Controversial First-Party Games Policy

Sony is reportedly lifting regional restrictions on its first-party PC games available on Steam, which previously required a PlayStation Network (PSN) account, limiting access for gamers in over 100 countries. Titles affected include God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and Helldivers 2. The recent release of Days Gone Remastered, which did not impose regional restrictions, suggests a broader policy shift. The PSN requirement has faced backlash, notably during the launch of Helldivers 2, leading to controversy and the dismissal of the game’s community manager. Additionally, the title Stellar Blade was initially unavailable in 132 countries due to the PSN requirement, but this restriction was lifted after discussions with Sony. An official statement from Sony regarding the removal of the PSN requirement has yet to be issued.
