Ryan revealed that on many occasions he has asked fans for their opinion about the ideal time gap between the release of a PS5 exclusive versus the subsequent PC version. “They often say they feel the release of a PC version two or three years after the release of the PlayStation version is acceptable.” “, he emphasizes.
With the stock of PS5 stabilized in all markets, the company remains firm when it comes to addressing the projects that will come to PS5. One of them is Rise of the Ronin, developed by Koei Tecmo. Its situation is similar to that of Nioh in back in the day, with the CEO of SIE recognizes that his plan also involves looking beyond PlayStation Studios.
“Taking “Rise of the Ronin” as an example, Koei Tecmo Games is developing it as a developer, and we at SIE will use our extremely strong marketing power and distribution network to publish it. This combination technique is the secret to making the game a hit. “, he concludes.
The next stop for the company isits upcoming PlayStation Showcase, which returns on May 24 after skipping 2022.
