PlayStation wants to find new ways for players to enjoy games beyond cloud gaming. Sony Interactive Entertainment leader Hideaki Nishino believes most gamers prefer playing on local hardware instead of streaming. The company has offered cloud gaming for 11 years but knows the business must make money long term. Network problems make streaming unreliable for many players. PlayStation plans to keep making traditional consoles for the next generation.
Nishino mentioned exploring better methods for players to access content and services. Reports suggest Sony works on a handheld device that could change gaming experiences. The company thinks carefully about bringing exclusive games to other platforms. Single player titles showcase PlayStation hardware performance and quality. Late PC ports for these games will continue for years ahead.
Stellar Blade reached PC just one year after its PlayStation debut. Lost Soul Aside launches on PC and console at the same time during August. These faster PC releases show changing strategies for some games. The success of Stellar Blade on Steam might push PlayStation toward quicker PC launches. Sony balances console exclusivity with reaching new audiences on different platforms.
