Recently, there has been discussion that the owner of the PlayStation brand has made an important decision and is once again betting on consoles. According to the latest data, this will lead to noticeable changes that will affect PC users as well, but not in the way expected.
A few weeks ago, information appeared that Sony is reducing investment in the PC market and abandoning porting single-player games. Now it is clarified that this is part of a broader strategy.
Analyst William R. Aguilar previously reported that Sony is preparing a restructuring of PlayStation Plus. The updated service should offer not only games, but also movies, TV series, anime, and music from Sony with the ability to stream on PC via Remote Play.
Some users took this as a hint of a separate PlayStation launcher on PC. Aguilar denied this and stated that Sony is not working on its own launcher.
There are many rumors circulating that PlayStation is working on a launcher for PC. I want to clearly state that this is not true, unless it is intended exclusively for multiplayer games.
According to him, it is an "all-in-one" application for streaming content from Sony's servers.
This is not a typical PC launcher, but an "all-in-one" streaming application that will allow you to stream a selected catalog of games, movies, shows, anime, and music.
Sony is completing the transfer of single-player games to PC. A subscription and streaming will be required to launch future projects.
To play future single-player PlayStation games on PC, a subscription will be required… games will appear in the catalog 1–3 years after release to protect the console market.
The company will continue to release multiplayer games on PC and is developing streaming via console or cloud.
