A while back, Sony committed to bringing its 1st party titles over to the PC. We’ve seen several of those games already ported, with Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, and God of War. That’s not all, as UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection is slated to be released for the PC later this year.
As spotted over on Resetera, Sony is currently looking to hire a Senior Director for PC Planning and Strategy. If that doesn’t show that Sony has vested in the PC as a platform, I don’t know what else does. With Microsoft doing a 180 and bringing nearly all of its 1st party games to the PC, it would make sense that Sony wouldn’t want to miss out on a huge gaming platform.
This job listing provides several requirements needed for this position and what this person will be tasked with performing.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the strategy and commercial activity within Global Channel sales and will deliver a single, optimized PC Sales growth and commercial plan to hub and territory teams to implement. Identifying future sectors & partnerships for commercial growth. The plan should support the delivery of the agreed global channel sales critical metrics.
To do this they will lead collaboration with partners such as CDS leadership, GSBO Hub and territory leadership, global marketing, WWS, Legal, Corp Strategy, PPM, and other global commercial partners (e.g. Genba, Epic, Steam).

It’s good to see that Sony is making good on its promise of supporting the PC. With the games already ported, and the acquisition of Nixxes to handle those PC ports, things are looking bright for PC gamers. Especially those who either don’t own a PlayStation or have been hoping that those games would eventually make it over to the PC.
Whoever gets hired, I feel back for all the requests to bring Bloodborne over to the PC. I’m not going to lie; I’ll be one of those people asking for that port as well.
