New Sony Job Listing Hints At More PlayStation Ports Coming To Xbox And Switch 2

Expert Verified By

Sony Following In Microsoft's Footsteps?

Story Highlight
  • Sony is working on bringing more PlayStation ports to PC, Xbox, Switch 2, and even mobile.
  • Helldivers 2 launching on Xbox was both a surprising and bold move, potentially signalling the first of many ports to follow.
  • Sony is still thoughtful about porting titles, so don’t expect every franchise to arrive on other platforms.

In the past few years, gaming giants such as Sony and Microsoft have been more open to the idea of bringing their first-party titles to other platforms, which has been bearing fruit for them.

The latter Team Green, especially, has fully embraced the publisher path in contrast to Sony, which is still a bit reserved in the idea of porting games. That may not be the case for long, though, as a new job listing suggests PlayStation is expanding on the multiplatform route.

Why it matters: Sony’s first-party catalog stacks up strongly and earns praise for featuring some of the best single‑player games of all time. It’ll be exciting to see more of those titles on other platforms, especially on the Switch 2.

Sony Focused On Multiplatform Expansion As Per New Job Posting

Sony is currently looking to hire a Multiplatform and Account Management Senior Director. The said role will be responsible for expanding PlayStation titles to other platforms such as PC, Xbox, Switch 2, and, interestingly, even mobile.

While Sony has been entirely open with the idea of porting first-party exclusives to PC after a year or two of the game’s release, the inclusion of Xbox and Switch 2 on this list is a surprising development that has made the console competition just a little more exciting.

Recently, we saw Helldivers 2 being announced for Xbox, a move that caught many by surprise. According to this job posting, Helldivers 2 could start a trend of PlayStation ports releasing on Xbox, and we’ll find out soon enough.

Anyhow, it’s important to note that Sony recently stated they carefully consider which franchises they will bring to other platforms. As such, future ports could be multiplayer games such as the upcoming Marathon, since porting first-party games may not be as feasible.
