Sony hasn't started porting its first-party games to PC platforms until recent years, which has not been seen in previous generations.But unfortunately, Sony has tied itself up, and these first-party PC games cannot be purchased in places without PSN services, which has also caused huge losses to itself.
However, with the success of "Sword Star", Sony finally "gets open".Sony has lifted regional purchase restrictions for most of its games ported to PC.For example, "Marvel Spider-Man 2", "God of War 5", "Jedi 2", "The Last Survivor 2: Remake", etc., players in most regions can now buy it on Steam.
This happened to happen after the great success of the PC version of "Sword Star", whose online peak exceeded 183,000, making it the second game released by Sony on Steam to exceed 100,000 at the same time.
It is worth mentioning that "Sword Star" also adopted a regional restriction strategy at the beginning. After the developer Shift Up personally asked Sony to coordinate, the restrictions were finally lifted. The final result was that it rose and became Sony's best-selling stand-alone game on PC Steam.
Looking to the future, although foreign media expect that one day Sony's first-party games will be available on the PC platform on the day of its first-party games, considering that Sony just stated that it will continue to maintain a "deliberate" and "cautious" attitude towards which first-party games to transplant to the PC platform, this kind of good thing will not happen at least in the next few years.
