Head of PlayStation Studios, Herman Hulst, has said that while Sony “values” PC gamers, porting PlayStation games over to PC won’t “ever come at the expense” of building a solid lineup for consoles.
In an interview published on the PlayStation Blog, Hulst was quizzed about how PC fits into PlayStation Studios’ worldview, in response to which the executive stressed the importance of reaching audiences beyond the PlayStation ecosystem. He also revealed that
Horizon Zero Dawn‘s PC release proved to be successful.
“We’re still early on in our planning for PC, and
Horizon Zero Dawn has been very successful,” said Hulst. “I think it shows there’s an appetite from gamers outside the PlayStation ecosystem to experience the amazing portfolio of games that PlayStation fans have enjoyed for years. But I want to emphasize that PlayStation will remain the best place to play our PlayStation Studios titles at launch. But we do value PC gamers, and we’ll continue to look at the right times to launch each game.”
