Sony Aims to Bring PlayStation Studios Games to Multiple Platforms — Hiring for Partnerships with Xbox, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and More

Okay, so, picture this—I’m sitting here, thinking about how Microsoft did this kinda wild thing, right? They threw their exclusive Xbox games like Forza Horizon and some others onto rival consoles. Like, huh? I remember scratching my head at that one. It felt sorta like a last hurrah for Xbox. The hardware sales were circling the drain, thanks to PlayStation and Nintendo being, well, beasts. But then, bam! Fast forward a few months, and the scene flips a bit.

Yeah, Xbox might still be struggling with those hardware numbers, but folks are playing like crazy. Record playtime hours flying around, woo! It’s like you blink and suddenly Xbox Cloud Gaming is a thing, and out of nowhere, PlayStation decides to drop Helldivers 2 on Xbox. Wild, right?

Now, speaking of PlayStation, there’s this job listing floating around, thanks to some guy named Hazzador—sounds like a character from a sci-fi flick. Anyway, it hints at PlayStation pulling an Xbox, planning to toss games like God of War and The Last of Us onto Steam and maybe even Xbox. Yeah, I know, it’s bizarre!

The gig’s for this “Sr Director” role, and they’re talking about spreading PlayStation love all over—Steam, Epic Games, you name it. Someone’s gotta manage Xbox and Windows PC ties. I’m imagining some intense strategy meetings or maybe epic coffee runs. Who knows how they come up with these plans?

And oh, by the way, the usual game industry mumbo jumbo—things are changing. You gotta be on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, whatever. Everywhere, all at once. Why? Because us gamers, we’re a stuck-in-our-ways bunch. Changing consoles is like telling a cat it can’t nap on your laptop. Not happening.

Sony wants that sweet margin boost. Picture high-impact, high-margin cash by sticking older games on Xbox. Days Gone on Xbox? Imagine! Xbox fans probably missed out on tonnes of PlayStation goodies. Talk about a missed opportunity; guess Sony’s waking up.

Let’s throw another twist—rumors say the new Xbox might run Steam. So, maybe Sony’s thinking “Eh, let’s just publish on Xbox and skip the middleman.” I mean, why not? Maybe Microsoft offers a sweeter deal than Steam. Business is wild like that.

At the end of all this chaos, it’s about grabbing eyeballs. Be it Fortnite, Netflix, or whatever’s trending. I mean, just look at me—I already got Helldivers 2 lined up for Xbox. The gaming world isn’t slowing down, and neither am I. Stay tuned.
