It’s a complicated time for PlayStation fans.

This week, Sony revealed two major new games, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble and Horizon Steel Frontiers, but surprisingly, they won’t be released on the PS5.

It’s easy to get caught up in the strong reactions online, but it’s important to remember PlayStation has been interested in mobile gaming for a long time. Their goal with these new projects is simply to grow the PlayStation brand and reach more players.

But we already know off-console sales are effectively a footnote for PlayStation’s business.

The latest quarterly report shows that sales of games across multiple platforms made up about 2

Personally, we don’t think there’s much to this story really.

We expect Sony will keep doing what it’s been doing: releasing a few games on different platforms and focusing on games that offer ongoing, online experiences where it makes business sense.
