Sony is on a gaming studio acquisition spree. After welcoming Housemarque in its family, the company has announced that it has acquired Dutch studio Nixxes which joins PlayStation Studios group. Nixxes is described as "a company specializing in video game design, development and porting"; and more specifically, it has worked on PC ports and optimizations for titles like the recent Tomb Raider trilogy, Marvel’s Avengers and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. So with this acquisition, Sony might be planning to expand its PC ports library.

As someone who has stepped away from Microsoft and Sony consoles around the 360/PS3 generation and is full into PC (Steam primarily) and Nintendo, I for one am excited to have the opportunity to play more PlayStation titles on PC!

I'm about halfway through Horizon Zero Dawn, I'm going after Days Gone someday, and I'm looking forward to Uncharted 4. Bring on the rest!

Guess they weren't kidding when they said they wanted to expand to PC (There is NOTHING wrong with PS exclusives coming to PC, nearly all Xbox "exclusives" are on PC too! More people playing the games the better!)

I don't see how this is related to this acquisition since the game isn't developed by Sony. There are already rumours of the game coming to PC based on people datamining the game and finding references to higher resolutions for PC and Nvidia/AMD.

Regardless, it would be up to SquareEnix (not Sony) bring the game to other platforms (ie. not just PC), but don't expect that to happen anytime soon until SquareEnix finish or close to finish all the FF7:Remake episodes.

On topic: Guess this means Sony is planning to move more Playstation exclusives to PC. Can picture some PS fans will rant about it when that happens.
