Sony just released its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year, alongside an update on PS5 shipments and more details about its gaming business.

Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
Seen that colteastwood guy just today said Spiderman 2 barely broke even. Idk about that guy 10 mill sold sounds like alot more then breaking even.
Amazing attach rate for Spidey 2. That's like 1 in 5, as it was only available on PS5 obviously. Good stuff.
Sony are doing amazing numbers while putting in the absolute minimum of effort. If only the Xbox team were competent we’d be seeing more games and more innovation across the board.
It took the original Spider-Man almost a year to sell 13.2 million units. So that being said Spider-Man 2 sold 10 million since October is pretty impressive.
The bigger news is that Sony say they won't be releasing any new existing IP games until March 2025.
