SIE aims to achieve robust revenue growth by accelerating the virtuous cycle that has been established for the PlayStation Platform. This entails increasing active users and play time, enhancing network services and reinforcing content IP so that consumers select PlayStation as their platform of choice. Targeted outcomes include growth in active users, stronger
retention and a shorter cash conversion cycle, from which expanded cash flow can be expected. We will explore expanding our first-party titles to the PC platform, in order to promote further growth in our profitability.

I guess rumors of that bloodborne port were true, apparently there were screens leaked by playtesters. They kinda got off the wrong foot with horizon, hopefully they get it all sorted.

This is a big win for PC gamers, having both MS first party and now possibly Sony. This could tempt many to sway back to PC.

Not if the games keep performing poorly like Horizon did.

They keep doing improvements to horizon t0mby, there have been 2 patches already that fixed stuttering for most and improved performance. It was rushed port that they're serious about getting right.

Developing for different configurations can be challenging, it's something they'll get better at with time and experience.

If Death Stranding didn’t come before it Horizon would’ve got less flack. It’s still a beautiful game and runs at nice fidelity on good hardware.

Good stuff.

Will just save up to upgrade my PC/get a new PC instead.

Horizon is still, unfortunately, a buggy mess. I usually get an hour out of it before it crashes. The devs are promising fixes though so will wait and see. Death Stranding on the other hand is a perfect port. Hoping Sony lifts their game on PC and more games like Bloodborne and God of War make their way over. I am more disappointed with MS and their handling of the MS Flight Sim 2020 launch. That game simply refuses to download and is a hot mess generally. So much so I have doubts about the whole Game Pass platform being viable on the Xbox Series X.
