Japan, the home of Sony and Nintendo, has always been known for being a console-loving country. But at Tokyo Game Show this year, companies like Alienware, Razer and Turtle Beach all have a presence. Just what IS the state of PC Gaming in Japan?

"The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and indie games developer Ernestas Norvaišas, are today very proud and excited to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their train-led city builder “Sweet Transit”, is now available for PC via Steam and EGS." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.
PC gaming is more based around western culture.
I think PC gaming is making a strong comeback, specially with consoles being so old. Most of my friends who used to play on consoles are now back on PC.
I think this time they probably will stick to PC its because most console games getting released are already on the PC. Most of them have been gaming on PC since the last 2-3 years. They have built good libraries with all the Steam discounts. Great part is the libraries only tend to get bigger had they bought those games on console, with the introduction of the next gen all those games would be unplayable on the next consoles.
Hence i think Multiplats PC
Exclusives consoles.
