According to a new job offer, Sony Interactive Entertainment is looking for a new director for the “Product Management – PC Game Experiences” division. According to what has been indicated, it is pushed to think that the company wants to bring the PlayStation Network also on PCwith a dedicated launcher.
The job offer reads: “This role will be asked to take the lead in PC gaming experiences for PlayStation, including leadership and responsibility to implement and deliver experiences to our players around the world. It will also lead and evolve the experience roadmap. PlayStation game for all gaming-related experiences, including SDK development, client application experiences, and integration of the PlayStation network platform. ” The most interesting part is the final one, in which it is stated that the person hired will have to manage integrations of the PlayStation Network.
In itself, this would not be enough to draw conclusions, but we must also remember that last year’s job offer indicated that Sony was looking for a UX Design Manager which would lead “the PlayStation experience off the console, with a focus on mobile devices, PCs / laptops and tablets”. Additionally, PlayStation was looking for someone to create playful activities like trophies.
If Sony really wanted to propose its own launcher, we shouldn’t be too surprised. Steam is the main platform in the PC world and allows you to access a large audience, but being able to sell your games to players directly from your platform would allow you to maximize your earnings.
As always, we specify that for now this is only a report and not official information. There is nothing left to do but wait and see if Sony will have something to announce about it.
In the meantime, for all console players, we would like to point out the new “Remasters and Retro” discounts on many PS4 and PS5 games.
