PlayStation has been porting its titles to PC for years now. The landscape has changed quite dramatically in the last decade or so, and companies like Sony have seen a need to expand their reach, even if it means sacrificing the more traditional concept of exclusive games. Even now, we're witnessing a significant shift in the longstanding dynamic, as Xbox allows titles like Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves to cross the border — and it feels like this is only the beginning.

And the casuals won't convert over to PC either due to the cost to set up a PC
