Over the years Sony has boasted exclusive games developed specifically for its PlayStation consoles, and to this day the thought of the company releasing them for another platform has only been a dream. Over the past year exclusive games like Detroit: Become Human, Beyond: Two Souls, Heavy Rain and recently also Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding (which has been granted temporary exclusivity for only a few months) have found their way into the PC. The company’s annual report for 2020, which was released last September, also left no room for doubt – the company has changed its pattern of thinking and tactics.
The move is significant, but it probably won’t make Sony release the games to the PC on the day of their launch. Just like with Horizon Zero Dawn, the company will probably wait several years or until the end of the generation to release the games to the digital platforms of computer gamers. But there is no doubt that this is a positive step for the company, and especially for the consumers.
