PlayStation has confirmed its commitment to timed exclusivity for its first-party games, with PlayStation Studios head Herman Hulst saying that future games will most likely have “at least a year” on PlayStation consoles before being released on PC.
In an interview with French gaming YouTuber Julien Chièze, Hulst was asked about the potential of future PlayStation Studios’ games launching simultaneously on both PlayStation and PC.
“We as PlayStation Studios have a very symbiotic relationship with the platform,” Hulst explained in response. “We’re often the first developers to try new hardware, to try new controllers… It’s been really great for the teams to see their wonderful creations also being released on PC, often with the help of our newly acquired team [Nixxies Software]. There are more players, and that’s really helpful. I think going forward we’ll see at least a year between releases on… PlayStation and on the PC platform.”
