Sony will bring Days Gone to PC in the spring and other PS exclusives will follow later
Sony brings Days Gone to PC. The game will be released sometime in the spring, although the exact release date is unknown. Sony says it plans to release many more console exclusives for PC in the future.
Sony America CEO Jim Ryan said in an interview with GQ that there would be “a whole row” of games for PC that were initially exclusively available on the PlayStation. He does not mention specific titles, but Ryan refers to the success of Horizon Zero Dawn that came out for PC last year. “People liked that and bought the game. We also monitored the reactions of PlayStation players and they had no resistance to it,” he says.
One of the games that will be released for the PC is Days Gone, a game that came out in 2019. Days Gone is now one of the twenty titles that players receive with a PlayStation Plus subscription for the PS5. According to Ryan, the game will come to PC “in the spring”, but he does not mention a specific release date.
Ryan further refers to the economics surrounding game development. “There’s an opportunity to bring games to a wider audience. The cost of making games keeps going up. At the same time, it’s getting easier for us to make them available to non-console owners. So it’s a logical decision for us.” .”
Ryan also acknowledges the issues with the availability of the PlayStation 5. He sees several causes for the shortages. The major shortages in the chip industry, which also affect the PC market and, for example, the car industry, are a problem for Sony. In addition, the coronavirus has made production more difficult, Ryan says. “We had to move to a distribution model that went completely online, and that’s something we haven’t had to do before,” he says. Ultimately, the high demand for consoles also plays a role. Ryan says nothing about better availability of the PS5. “We’re working as we’ve always done, and stocks are increasing monthly. We’ve been working hard to scale up production, but I can’t say more than that.”
