It’s over - PlayStation’s Biggest Ally Jumps Ship

Square Enix is "aggressively pursuing" a multiplatform strategy, including "Nintendo platforms, PlayStation, Xbox, and PCs".

The company's new medium-term business plan was shared today alongside its latest financial report, and follows news of both a review of its development system and the abandonment of £112m of in-development projects.

The multiplatform strategy is part of a move to "diversify earnings opportunities" and aims to allow more customers to "enjoy our titles in regards to major franchises and AAA titles including catalogue titles".

Square Enix's biggest releases in recent years have been console-exclusive to PlayStation, including the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Final Fantasy 16, and Forspoken, with PC releases either alongside or in the pipeline.

While no specific games are identified here, it suggests that some of the company's biggest could make their way to Xbox in future - or perhaps Switch 2. At the least, Square Enix's biggest game - Final Fantasy 14 - made its way to Xbox recently.

The strategy will "maximise digital sales of new titles" as well as "pursue initiatives designed to win over PC users" which the company sees as a growth opportunity.

The shift to multiplatform also includes mobile games, which will not only release on iOS and Android but potentially PC too. Mobile gacha game Final Fantasy Ever Crisis is already set for a Steam release.

Square Enix will also "leverage IP across media formats", suggesting the likes of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest could be seen more outside of games.

The company's new development pipeline will shift from quantity to quality, balancing developer creativity with data from customers and the wider market. AAA releases will be released regularly, while "mid-class titles" will prioritise profitability. As such, it will be "bold" in creating new franchises, to prioritise "novel forms of excitement" balanced with earnings potential.

PS5’s Secret Update - Bad Feature Removed

“They took away that stupid remote play banner finally,” reads their comment.

Yes, the dreaded remote play notification has finally sung its last hurrah.

Seeing the back of this annoying banner has been a “rollercoaster”, as despite toggling to hide the bar in settings, some players noticed the notification still remained.

“I'm tearing up over here. Finally,” joked a Redditor who then ran into the issue of the banner still lurking like an unwanted party guest.

“Edit aaaaand it's still there, regardless. Now I'm sad. Edit aaand it IS gone, but only disappears when you launch a game. I'm happy again. Life's a Rollercoaster.”

The Next PS5 PC Release

God of War: Ragnarok is reportedly the next PlayStation exclusive to make its way over to PC.

Normally reliable leaker billbil-kun – who shed plenty of details on Mortal Kombat 1 and PS Plus lineups in the past – reports God of War: Ragnarok "is one of the next PlayStation exclusive titles to be ported on PC." Whether or not the game shows up at Sony's rumored State of Play showcase, the announcement is supposedly "imminent" and could be coming later this month.

Spider-Man only sold 1.5 Million on PC. Its sold 33 million on Playstation. God of War sold 20 million on Playstation and 3 million on PC. PC gamers pirate Single Player games, that why Sony waits for the console sales to slow down before porting. You know at least 3 times those numbers have played the games on PC.

[LeonardoRobles]

Please tell me it’s not the one going around on Twitter that’s Wednesday, May 24, 2023 because this May 24 is a Friday 😂 😂😂😂

[ToxMod]

8:54 Thank You for reiterating this. People really think it didn’t sell well because of the exclusivity, not the case.

[Sxraj]

Whoever’s running the PlayStation Twitter account don’t know their dates💀🤣

[FyremaelGlittersparkle]

That tweet announcing the PS showcase was from last year. I'm kind of thinking that date may not be accurate.

[mattbrady]

When squarenix did the pixel remaster then made the physical release super limited I was PISSED.

[UrbanLegendGaming]

So weird about the remote play icon cause I don’t have that on my portal. It just pops up when I connect it but goes away in game.

[DrSlick]

I would like a new Infamous sequel with Delson and Cole.

[UrbanLegendGaming]

I think that showcase date is old but I’ll still be checking for it if it does drop

[PSReady]

I may have gotten conned by a Twitter troll on the showcase… damn.

[Greg-gogv]

Square Enix's problem is the wokeness they bring to their games.. They also need to get rid of their censorship, too..

[austinwallace]

Says Wednesday the 24th but the 24th is a Friday I’m confused lmao

[MrMza]

Final Fantasy 7 isn't selling well Because the majority of the hard-core fans wanted the original game completely remastered and not a remake. I think the remake is cool and all but if they would have made the original Final Fantasy 7 game with today's graphics then I believe that game would have sold like pancakes lol.

[jonathantaylor]

It was also almost impossible to find physical copies of Pixel Remasters. How can we buy if it they dont supply it?

[ThetaxDeltax]

They gotta remember that defects isn't a feature. It got annoying as ****

[miab]

"The audience is a little too old" and .."Aged out of gaming"?!?! A true gamer never "Ages out of gaming"! Frankly as an older gamer who is very passionate about gaming, I find that insulting really.

[roscoebuzzard]

I think it's a good thing we don't need exclusives. People shouldn't be punished because they chose a certain console. All games should be on all platforms. Simple as that.

[ToxMod]

Does the Steam Deck have dual sense quality haptic feedback?

[allenkim]

The reason why the pixel remaster is probably not as good at sales it’s because most of that sales are on the switch there’s barely any copies for the PS4 and when you do see a PS4 copy of the pixel remaster it’s going for $1000 on the PS4 version. The pixel for the switch goes for 85 which is retail at this point so for me what I spend $1000 for the pixel remastered if I had $1000 yes for the PS4 but I do that for no way I wouldn’t even spend $80 on that one but would rather spend retail price for the pixel, the PS4 one yes came out and I won’t never buy digitally cause I like buying those games physically

[SamFisher-_-]

I hope to see a new splinter cell trailer once the showcase starts
