PC launcher will come this year probably soon they probably wana get the live service money from Concord, Twisted Metal which seem to release in 2024 & Fairgames, Marathon & Horizon (monster hunter) in 2025. Sucker Punch seem to be working on a live service GOT component (maybe legends 2) they hired a community manager London studio & Media molecule are working on live service & some people forget Deviation, Firewalks & guessing a secret multiplayer title by Jason Blundell who was shown to be working at PS from a co worker (@JCbackfire) & linkedin there’s probably more im missing but these should release in 2025-2027
Edit: PS mobile studio Neon Koi been developing a mobile games since 2021 I believe it’s been 2-3 years we should see something by them this year maybe launching in 2024 but definitely in 2025 if they’re not going thru a disaster
Well, I assume GoT2 may have a multiplayer Legends 2 mode, but doesn't mean that being multiplayer is going to be GaaS. If they grow it they may do it, something like in the Ubisoft open world games. In any case, They relesaed GoT and Legends in 2020 and its Director's Cut anad DLC in 2021.
Meaning, GoT2 and Legends 2 won't release soon and pretty likely would release at least around 2026 or 2027. Community Managers are simply people who works in their social media or Discord/forums, to have a CM is not related to PC or GaaS.
I don't think Media Molecule is going to work now in a GaaS. Dreams was a too long project and some key people left, I think they may want to do now something smaller instead, as they did with Tearaway.
I'd bet Jason Blundell and the other ex-Deviation devs who joined them are indeed working in a new SIE team (maybe in an existing studio or a new one), which I think would be working on the Deviation game. Apparently the game had a big delay, so maybe Sony decided to create that new team to work on it faster either as support team or as the new lead studio and to get more ownership of the game. I think the Deviation game was originally planned to be released late 2025 or early 2026 but got a big delay maybe due to a reboot or big changes needed and now instead I bet they aim a 2027 or 2028 release.
Big mobile games nowadays normally take as much time as a AAA console/PC game, around 5-9 years to be released. I don't expect to see their game being released before 2026.
Jimbo already said PC is our competitor why some fan believe the opposite
Why is releasing exclusive content on competing platform not killing ps?
Because to release in PC makes them earn more revenue, profit and enlarge their fanbase. So it doesn't kill PS, makes it grow instead. Publishing some games on PC while having way more console only exclusives doesn't negatively affect them at all, specially because most PC players wouldn't ever buy a console. This fiscal year PS is posting record numbers in all areas -including the console and pc ones- and they are making more money than ever.
For SIE and PS their 1st party games are a small part of the revenue and profit, their cost is getting too expensive and they are working in more games than ever before, so they need extra revenue and profit sources to keep them safe and sustainable.
They already grew prices, are investing record numbers on 1st, 2nd and 3rd parties and improved their services and accesories in consoles. But the console userbase (counting all consoles of a generation together) didn't grow since the PS2+Wii generation. Meaning, they have to search revenue and profit in new markets. And like all the other publishers are doing, these markets are PC, mobile and movies/tv show adaptations.
That is the best option for them to continue being profitable, have a healthy business and to continue growing. They won't stop that and see how their business collapse just to keep a few fanboys happy because they cry when seeing their games played in more places because of stupid tribalism.
