PlayStation’s recent acquisition of Nixxes means that gamers will finally get to play another PlayStation exclusive on the PC soon. PlayStation has some of the best exclusives that never really made their way to the PC. And now that PlayStation has acquired Nixxes, some of these games will finally come to the Windows PC.
The decision to bring PlayStation exclusives to the PC has been met with an overwhelming amount of support from the gaming community. In a recent interview with Famitsu, Jim Ryan, the CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, confirmed that, though the process of bringing PS exclusives to the PC is in its early stages, PlayStation is still delighted to be working with Nixxes.

A lot of people seem worried that PS titles coming to the PC might mean the PlayStation consoles will lose their utility. But that might not be the case. In fact, just last month Hermen Hulst, the head of PlayStation Studios, addressed this fear. “I want to emphasize that PlayStation will remain the best place to play our PlayStation Studios titles at launch,” he said. So no. PlayStation gamers sharing some of their exclusives with PC gamers doesn’t mean the PS5 is dead and isn’t worth buying.
