GT Academy winner Lucas Ordoñez shares his story of transitioning from virtual racing on PlayStation to real-world podiums and wins with Nissan and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
PlayStation executive Herman Hulst says that the company is "thoughtful" about bringing first-party franchises to other platforms.
Maybe if they release old Sony games on more platforms they could earn more $$.
To make new games.
They will lose nothing. maybe some screams from few angry fanboys. and that's it.
It’s not about what you lose by releasing game X on another platform. It’s about losing brand value over the long term when people realise your games are no longer exclusive. It would be madness to devalue the brand in this way imo.
They don't really need Xbox, there isn't a big enough install base there to really make it worth it to port the games to a platform with fewer than 50 million consoles sold... especially when many of those folks have a PS5 also. That said, Switch 2 is selling like hotcakes, and Sony would be smart to consider ports to it. Honestly, I think that would be a smarter move on their part than trying to release another handheld.
That's not what he was referring to when he was asked the question. He was was talking about them being throughtful on when and if they put their games on other platforms. Speaking to their current strategy of brining titles to PC. It was not about bringing titles to Xbox.
Sony is a 3rd party publisher... Just like Microsoft. Has been for a while now.
Congrats to all gamers who get to play games without being walled from silly exclusive deals... Only corporate bootlickers want to keep games from their fellow gamers.
Yet you have all of those people that pay various monthly subscriptions to Netflix, Disney+, HBO, Amazon Prime etc. so they can have access to the exclusive movies and TV shows each platform has. So yes, exclusives do matter.
Exclusives are what made the PS the household name it is, and one day we'll say "it was", 'cause the executives will have removed the main, if not only, incentive to buy a PS console.

Pick a lane on this account you’re so confused between defending Sony exclusivity and game. Pass subscription 🤦🏿
Edit you should call this account full view observer🤣 trying to flip the script 🤦🏿
I’m the biggest Xbox fan but that’s just not believable what you said. I love days gone but you are telling me you have no interest in Spider-Man? Uncharted? God of war ? Horizon? Ghost of sushima? Come on man
They have no choice. Their market share is shrinking and they are in it for the money
They just had record breaking financials. They said people this gen are spending the most. Chill, theyre fine xbot.
Them being profitable doesnt mean the market share isnt shrinking. The comments made were by Sony and I’m pretty sure they know better than you what is best for them. Nintendo will be the only company in the end that doesn’t go full multiplat. That’s just the way of the world.
No it's not wtf? So we're just gonna run around and make stuff up now?
@ Gunstar75
lol are you serious right now? If Sony has shrinking market share whos eating it? Definitely isn’t Microsoft when the series X/s are selling worse than the Xbox one. The switch is WIDELY known as a companion console. It’s what you get WITH your Xbox or PS or even PC. Some games simply sell best on PC, but that’s a minority. As someone that plays on everything, please explain who Sony ids losing market share to? If anything they want to recoup from these live service blunders.
Dayum the biggest and growing. Guess someone is eating crow for the rest of the year @Gunstar75
They literally just announced its the most profitable gen ever for them, profits are higher than their last 4 console gens added together......profits, not revenue......
As for market share, I'll let you use Google for that one.....
A few years or maybe a generation from now, everything will be at best, a timed exclusive (other than Nintendo and some PC titles).
All these years and folks still don't understand the fundamental business model of the PlayStation platform
If PS puts 1st party games on any other platform guess what ima do!?!?! Nothing lol. I dnt really care.
Ye. Im fine with it. I just hope they actually sell on other platforms if that ends up being the case. I want to get Gears but idk if the game is on disc or not. I welcome Microsoft games, but PLEASE PLEASE put the game ON THE DISC. If not its a no purchase for me.
PlayStation has added a whopping 56 games to its PlayStation Cloud Gaming catalogue.
There are some big titles in the list, including Forza Horizon 5.
And this is right after they removed Resistance 1 & 2! Does anyone realize this?
(I tried to add it as a posting, but it was old news by the time I realized it)
Playstation cloud gaming? Wasn’t that PS Now until it merged with PS plus….
Can someone tell me what’s going on?
PS Cloud gaming was PS NOW before, now its the Premium tier (top one) of PLAYSTATION PLUS.
if you have PS+Premium you can cloud stream games onto a PS4 or PS5 or onto a PS Portal. The nice thing about being able to stream directly to a PS Portal is that you don't need your PS5 to be turned on and used to remote play.
PS NOW had a PC app, which sadly as far as i know is gone and PS+Premium has no app and no way to stream onto a PC.
The pc app is still there. You can use it to stream just like you used psnow.
You can stream all catalog games on PC and ps5
If you have ps+ premium you can stream from your pc and ps5 all the games from the catalog
It's not just the catalog. You can also stream alot ofthe games you have purchased as well.
I don’t understand cloud gaming. I’ve tried them all. Ps5, Portal, ROG Ally, XB cloud and no matter what I do I just can’t play the games because of the lag and artifacting that breaks immersion.
I have 1gb fiber that was freshly installed as well.
Local remote play works pretty good from PS and XB but strictly streaming the whole game from the cloud has been a mediocre experience for me and definitely not worth the higher cost sub.
Maybe your router? mine works fine even with stock router, but it works much better if I connect to deco.
Maybe, it’s brand new hardware a few months old but is generic isp hardware.
XB remote play local works amazing, and using my portal at home is flawless and runs like it was native.
But anything strictly played in cloud is so inconsistent.
Battle Engine Aquila joins PlayStation Plus Premium.
Another meh month and only 1 single classic wtf Sony. I was hoping after the price hikes for PSN we might get a good month spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down and all that
Sandland looks right up my alley and I'm excited to give it a shot. I honestly missed this game somehow, never heard about it until now.
Maybe I’ll go check out battlefield 5 again.
Maybe this will give a little boost
Some of the best psvr 2 titles leaving, nothing coming, way to support your psvr 2 owners. Still, I don't mind the games coming personally.
Yeah I upped to premium when they started adding psvr2 with the expectation that they would keep coming. now when my sub ends I'll be scaling back
