PlayStation's future live-service games could launch simultaneously on console and PC, said SIE boss Hermen Hulst in a new interview.
We've been seeing a bunch of previously PlayStation-exclusive games come to PC in recent years, with Uncharted 4 finally hitting the platform later this month, more than six years after its initial launch. Going forward, Hulst said PlayStation games bound for PC will stay exclusive to PlayStation consoles for "at least a year," although he notes that live-service games could be an exception to that rule.
"Live-service games are a little bit different in nature because you want to have a really strong community, strong engagement right away, right when you go live," Hulst told Paris-based YouTuber Julien Chièze (timestamped here). "So we might, in the case of our live-service offerings, go day and date with PC and PlayStation."
Despite the push toward live-servicey type stuff, Hulst made clear that PlayStation isn't straying from the single-player narrative-driven games which have become synonymous with PlayStation consoles.
"We will always make these kind of games because our fans expect them from us, they want them, but also because we love making them."

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
