Back when the PS4 launched in 2013, most people would have been unable to see Sony's pivot away from developing exclusively for its own consoles coming. While it was once thought to be impossible, fast-forward a single generation and things have changed dramatically for PlayStation on that front. That’s because over the last few years, some of the publisher's biggest first party games have been released not only on PS4 and PS5, but on PC as well.

Thanks to the launch ofMarvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on PC last week, it looks like no first party game is off the table when it comes to the port treatment. With Nixxes Software now a first party developer, the road is seemingly clear for more PlayStation games to hit the platform in the future. Files buried within the studio’s aforementioned release reinforce this even further, though, and suggest Sony could be contemplating adding PSN account functionality into the picture too. If it does, PC owners could be in for some exciting benefits.
