Sony Shifts Gears on Exclusives, Sets Sights on Faster Multi-Platform Launches to Boost Profits

Sony wants to shrink the gap between PlayStation exclusives launching on PS and coming to PC.

Sony president Totoki wants to go "aggressive" to improve profit margins. Multi-platform games (PS + PC) will play a big role.

Totoki said PS exclusives previously focused on selling consoles. Now there's opportunity for wider growth and profit through multi-platform releases.

This signals a shift from 2022 comments about 1+ year gap between PS and PC releases for first-party games.

It's unclear if major exclusives will launch simultaneously on PS and PC going forward, but strategy change is happening as Totoki takes over as interim CEO.
