Is Sony rivaling Steam with a PlayStation PC app? There could be a separate app for PlayStation games available for PC.
After bringing PlayStation exclusives to Windows and investing in the PlayStation PC in recent years, Sony may be developing its own platform. The Japanese company may soon introduce its own PlayStation PC launcher to take Steam and the Epic Games Store out of the way.
Sony allegedly developing PlayStation PC launcher
The files of the recently released Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered reportedly contain remarkable information. Sony allegedly wants to sell games like God od War, Spider-Man and Days Gone directly to the PC.
It was also discovered that Sony wants to offer PlayStation Network (PSN) integration for Windows. The PSN account, which is mandatory for PS4 and PS5 users, is currently not used for PlayStation PC games. So games downloaded from Steam or Epic Games Store can be played without a PSN account.
Thanks to the PSN account integration that will be offered to Windows users, it is thought that rewards will be given similar to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. This idea raises the possibility of a PlayStation PC launcher.
With a new game service, Sony could both require users to have a PSN account and take them off platforms like Steam and Epic Games. However, it’s important to note that the app could work like Origin, Ubisoft Connect and Bethesda Launcher.
These services also require Steam to launch any of the games. Microsoft also continues to offer Xbox games on Steam that are on Game Pass.
Sony seems to be trying to appeal to PC gamers in more ways than one. It recently announced its own PC gaming headsets and monitors. The Sony Inzone series is available for both PlayStation and Windows computers.
