That's the way of the future.
Let us talk about a pretty big announcement, which was made due to the unexpected revelation of Xbox Series X at the Game Awards last week by Microsoft a little in the shadows - the announcement of Sony early last week from 2021. MLB the Show becomes cross-platform, and the implied consent of Microsoft and Nintendo, that it actually comes to your platforms and not just go to the PC. This was a big deal as Sony will continue to publish these games under the banner of Sony Interactive Entertainment and continues to develop the on-site Sony San Diego-Studio of this game.
The development of multiplatform games is not possible _ complete_ new for Sony as a company. Long before the PlayStation Sony Imagesoft published Games for Genesis, Snes and Sega CDs. Also bought to Sony Pygnosis (later renamed in Studio Liverpool), N64 and Sega Saturn versions of auslöschen were released. Some years ago Sony Online Entertainment released games on the PC (sometime, they triggered themselves and were independent, now called Daybreak). More recently, Sony founded the Publishing Label Unties for Indies Games, publishing Games on the Switch. However, the PlayStation Banner has never been assigned to another platform as the PlayStation. Even with Sony First-party games such as detroit: people become or Death Stranding Sony has decided to stay away from the PlayStation Association and even leave it to other publishers, for them to close the gap on the PC. Even the unties label is technically directed by Sony Music, not from you, which means that it is not a PlayStation.
The great news here is that Sony as she brings a PlayStation first game to other platforms. Not only for PCs that can argue that the PC market is separated from the console market and delimited to play a role, but for actually competing consoles. This is what Microsoft has made more and more in recent years, but it is a pivot point that makes sense for this company in view of the focus on services and the relative failure of Xbox One sales. Why should Sony build a console empire that dominates its market, bring exclusivity to the competition? What sense does it make for you?
The answer is: Even if Sony is not focused on being a fully service-oriented company like Microsoft, you will highly have the same benefits from this step as Microsoft. To better context this, let us return to Shawn Laydens by a few months ago, which showed this development for everyone who suited. At the time Layden had said that in the future certain PlayStation titles, especially multiplayer and online titles, could expand platforms to which they come, as this is most useful for them.
Basically, Sony assumes that you are PlayStation for exclusive, first-class high-end experiences such as Z horizon: Zero Dawn and Gott of the war. These are those who are most valuable as a system mover and putts JENE on other competing platforms would desert the inner value and the attractiveness of PlayStation. These are those for which they should expect PlayStation exclusivity - do not keep the breath on horizont 2 basically to Xbox Series X.
But vice versa develop and publish games that must be not system mover and will benefit from that a larger audience is available to sell. Which bring us to mlb the show. These games are based on a popular American sport and are probably sold to people, no matter which platform they are. You have a Microtransactions FIFA Ultimate Team Mode - which obviously benefits that more players can spend money. In addition, Sony also can do what Microsoft has done Minecraft, and link this game with a PSN ID and a login mlb the show spread your ecosystem and to gain more average user for PSN per month (increasing the commitment for PSN in recent years a declared goal of Sony was).
It is a win-win situation for all involved. Bring a game like MLB to other consoles makes it too much sense for you Not tu it. It is also a suspected concession that Sony has made to MLB, as consideration that they have the exclusive right to make MLB games (previously they had no exclusive rights; other publishers have not developed MLB games in general). In this way, Sony is guaranteed that they do not have to compete with other potential baseball games on the market while at the same time maximizing revenue they achieve with their games. All the ohne system seller lose a lot, because it is unlikely that there are many people to buy the PlayStation nur for mlb and nothing else.
In general, we probably can probably expect a multiplatform strategy of Sony, at least for multiplayer and service-oriented games. Another example is the Raubauer The game you released again will run on PS4 and PC and is the first time that PlayStation itself releases a game for a non-Playstation platform. Then there is a game such as Tream, which looks spectacular, but at the end of the PS4 life on PS4 - does anyone honestly think about this game after __hield Do not benefit from it, at least to the PC (of course in addition to PS5) to the Community active and dedicated to keep? Tream might possibly be related to that of Sony Minecraft when you play it smart and put it on other platforms.
Again, there is nothing to say uncharted or _der last of us come to Xbox, switch or even PC. They are not (unless they count 720p ps. Now they stream for the PC. Congratulations! You already have a while). This is the big system that sold games with which Sony's hardware moves, and these stay exclusively for your platforms. If you want to play these, you should definitely buy a PlayStation.
But multiplayer and community-oriented playstation players can be available and will also be available on other platforms, including competing consoles. We have already begun to see this. And it's an amazing thing that we should really welcome all (really, the only people who would have problems with such a thing are people who are married to the plastic box of their choice that they have lost sight of why She entered this hobby are initially).
The walls begin to fall.
