PlayStation Multiplatform Leak Frustrates PS5 Players

Oh boy, so get this. Out of nowhere, a leak popped up — a juicy, unexpected detail that Sony’s shaking up its PlayStation game plan. And, surprise surprise, not everyone’s thrilled. They slipped this info through, of all things, a job ad. Yeah, weird, right? They’re hunting for someone to get Sony games on, hold your breath, other platforms.

Okay, but here’s the kicker. This isn’t just any role. We’re talking Senior Director, a big-time gig. I read through the ad—well, skimmed really—and it’s wild because it outright says PlayStation Studios titles are going to show up on Xbox and Nintendo. Didn’t see that coming!

The ad says something like, “You’re gonna be part of this massive plan, getting our games out there beyond PlayStation stuff.” Steam, Epic, Xbox, Nintendo… you get the idea. Sounds like they’re making moves. Big moves.

Predictably, not everyone’s jazzed about it. Xbox folks are, like, over the moon. Meanwhile, PlayStation loyalists are, well, throwing shade on every forum and social media page they can find. Classic, right? The argument? Xbox shot itself in the foot doing this. Less hardware sales, they say, and they’re worried PlayStation’s going the same way.

Industry chatter’s got people talking, too. Some old-school devs are chiming in. Apparently, exclusives are becoming ancient history — like, who wants to deal with those limits anymore? The world’s changing, consoles are too, yada yada.

One ex-PlayStation guy thinks it’s about time. Rare to hear, but interesting nonetheless.

And hey, what about Helldivers 2? Was that the first step in this grand strategy of Sony’s? I might have missed something there. Who knows? Anyway, what are folks out there thinking?
