It's a masterpiece, probably my favorite game of the generation shared with BotW, Mario Odyssey, Bloodborne and SFV. Well deserved.
I think it's smart to release it a few months before its sequel. Many PC players will get the first one and probably some of them will get a PS5 to play its sequel and other exclusives.
If Sony plan to release all their games on PC
They said they don't plan to release all their games on PC.
They plan to keep porting some, not all, old titles to PC. So if they release let's say around 3 or 4 games per year on PC that were released several years before on PS won't need a launcher.
I Hope this isn't what Jim is trying to do but rather trying to syphon extra money from the PC community.
But alienating their own platforms with cheaper prices and better performance on PC isn't a good look for them.
Their idea is to milk a bit more some old games that after some years completed their sales cycle, had price drops, were included in subs etc in PS. When their revenue on PS is (almost completely) dead, if they see good potential sales on PC they port it to reach new players from countries who don't play on console, or even PC players from here who will never buy a console, and also make extra revenue from these games plus using them to promote their upcoming (only available on PS) sequel/movie/tv show.
They do that when the game already sold a shit ton of copies, has been included in PS Plus and/or PS Now and it's being sold dirt cheap in console. So anyone possibly interested on it on console already played it while ago, won't miss anything and won't affect console game sales or console hardware sales.
Mark My Words. Sony is going to release God Of War Ragnarok Holiday 2022 that means its going up against Starfield. 2022 is shaping up to be an incredible year for gamers, Competition = Gamers Win.
I think Ragnarok will release in September or earlier, and that Starfield won't release in 2022. Sony traditionally keeps holidays for the 3rd party games and release their big 1st party games during the rest of the year, and remember that Ragnarok was originally planned for 2021.
