For the last couple of years, Sony has been slowly bringing more of its first-party PlayStation games to PC to improve sales. Since then, Sony has remained on a two-year cadence between the PlayStation release of new titles and the eventual PC version. While we had hoped that Sony may look to speed this process up a bit after the success of Helldivers 2, the company has confirmed that to not be the case.

Ghost of Tsushima has finally arrived on PC, and as expected, it's a success. With a peak concurrent player count of over 77,000, it's already PlayStation's most successful single-player game to launch on Steam. Following its debut on Steam on May 16th in its Director's Cut form, Ghost of Tsushima …

With Ghost of Tsushima recently landing on PC, I have been looking back at Sucker Punch’s 2020 PS4 swan song and analysing exactly why I think the game managed to stand out from the crowd of open world titles, with this analysis discussing the purposeful and creatively-dense sounds, sensations and subtleties of Ghost of Tsushima...

The same leaker who revealed that Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut would be coming to PC has now revealed the next major PlayStation game set to make the jump.

The community at large turned against Sony over the weekend, after it was announced that PSN accounts would soon be enforced in the PC version of Helldivers 2. While creating a free account sounds easy at first, it quickly came to light that the game had been sold to thousands …

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot.

Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
