When you hear the term PlayStation exclusives, some of the first games that spring to mind are likely God of War, The Last of Us, and the Horizon series. Beautiful games that tell epic stories.

Ryan noted that PlayStation takes pride in its “narrative rich, graphically beautiful single-player games,” but by making them exclusives, it has restricted those games to a narrow audience. “We have the opportunity to move from a situation of being present in a very narrow segment of the overall gaming software market, to being present pretty much everywhere," Ryan explained.

Days Gone followed, and 2018's God of War debuted on PC earlier this year. Games from the Uncharted series will also make the leap before the end of 2022. As for mobile, while PlayStation hasn't done anything major in that market yet, it clearly
