Story Highlight
  • It has recently been revealed that PlayStation will release its game on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. 
  • An insider has now revealed that it won’t release games on the said platform on day one. 
  • There will be at least one year difference, but when it comes to live-service titles, PlayStation will release them day one on PC.

Just recently, a PlayStation job posting revealed that the gaming giant is adopting the same multiplatform strategy as Xbox, and that has wreaked havoc in the industry. All of the PlayStation fans can’t believe that the platform they have been supporting for too long did this. 

However, an insider has recently revealed that the gaming giant won’t be pushing out games on day one on Xbox. This could be true as PlayStation adopted this strategy with PC first, so it might be going for the same plan.

Why it matters: An insider previously revealed that PlayStation will follow Xbox’s footsteps to go for the multiplatform approach. This all seems to have started with Helldivers 2, as the game received a lot of positive reception.

Insider Confirms That PlayStation Won’t Release Games Day One on Other Platforms

Detective Seeds, on X, formerly known as Twitter, revealed that PlayStation won’t be releasing its games on Xbox day one. As per the insider, there is going to be at least a one-year difference between the releases. 

Oversee the OUT OF YEAR MID RANGE strategy. They are not going to release their titles to other places until a minimum of 1 year.

So, instead of exclusives, the gaming giant will be opting for timed exclusives. The insider further confirms that the games will arrive day one on the PC, at least the live service ones.

Moreover, if the next Xbox is going to be integrated with Steam, it will have day-one releases by default. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how Sony changes its approach as the situation evolves.

It should be noted that the job posting mentions “Oversee the out-of-year (mid-range) commercial strategy for PlayStation Studios titles across all non-PlayStation platforms,” which could suggest that there will be around a 1-3 year difference in the release on the other platforms.
