According to a recent Video Games Chronicle report, evidence has been found that could suggest Sony wants to release its own PlayStation launcher for the PC titles it ports over.<br \/>\nThe report states that references to the launcher have been found within files of the most recent PlayStation Studios release. Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man Remastered. So far, this is the only game to reference a PC launcher. Previously released titles, such as God Of War and Horizon Zero Dawn, make no mention of it at all. It\u2019s unclear what Sony\u2019s official plan is. But there appears to be a couple theories.<br \/>\nA PlayStation PC launcher could allow Sony to exclusively sell its games<br \/>\nRight now PlayStation Studios games aren\u2019t hosted by Sony. Quite simply because Sony has no PC-based storefront for its PC games. Instead, they\u2019re listed on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Where the companies that make those clients get a cut of the game sales.<br \/>\nA PlayStation PC launcher could allow Sony to exclusively list and sell its first-party games that come to PC. It\u2019s also entirely possible that Sony has no plans to do this. VGC theorizes that Sony may intend to keep the games on other store fronts. But also give players the option to purchase them from a PlayStation launcher as well. Should they choose to.<br \/>\nAnd that possibility makes a whole lot more sense with another detail that VGC found within the Spider-Man Remastered game files. PSN account linking.<br \/>\nPSN account linking could be on the way to PC as well<br \/>\nSony may intend to allow players to link their PSN accounts on PC. If this were the case, a PlayStation PC launcher would be the most logical place to do that.<br \/>\nAnd that could lead to a number of little bonuses for players who choose to go this route. Take trophies, for instance. PSN integration in a PlayStation PC client could include the trophy system with Sony\u2019s first-party games. Allowing players to gather trophies by completing specific tasks within games just like Sony\u2019s PS4 and PS5 consoles.<br \/>\nAccount linking could also lead to bonuses that come directly from the studios who develop the game. The same Spider-Man Remastered files that mentioned PSN account linking also mention \u201cPSN linking bonuses.\u201d Also worth noting is that Insomniac may have initially planned to utilize PSN account linking but no longer does.<br \/>\nAlongside Spider-Man Remastered, Sony has launched a few other games on PC. God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Days Gone. Sony also plans to release Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection on PC this year.<br \/>\nThe post Sony Could Be Planning To Release A PlayStation Launcher For PC appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/PlayStation-PC-Launcher.jpg\" width=\"1477\" height=\"953\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a wild time to be a PlayStation fan, with some PlayStation Studios games now on PC, and a potential [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10195,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10194"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10196,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10194\/revisions\/10196"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
