You can now link your Steam and Playstation account
SirMadsen posted a blog entry in Sirmadsen's Blog
Now the Steam people can link their Steam accounts to their Playstation account. Or well, right now you can just do that in Marvel’s Spider-Man which was patched today to rake the arena for the new feature. Sony has also launched a small website for the purpose, with images of Uncharted, Days Gone and God of War . In other words, more is coming, but we don’t know exactly when. And what do you gain from this? Well, in Spider-Man you get a couple of skill points, a suit and a “Concussive Blast Gadget”. And very true: Sony promises that more games will soon receive bonuses. "Link your Steam Account to PlayStation Network to receive unlocks in this and other PlayStation Studios games. There are also rumors that a Playstation Launcher is on its way to PC, but nothing is confirmed. -
Techland's zombie parkour game Dying Light 2 - Stay Human is only a week away from release. The developers are happy to say that those who buy the Playstation 4 and Xbox One version will be able to upgrade to the Series X / S and PS5 version completely free of charge if needed later. However, it is a bit unclear what exactly the changes will be between the versions, but in the trailer below, three different graphics settings have been shown. Wild guess is that it is these three settings that will be found on the next-gen consoles. The trailer is for Playstation, but we guess the exact same settings will be available on Xbox Series X / S as well. Techland also took the opportunity to talk about cross-play. Unfortunately, the game will not support cross-play between consoles and not across generations. However, it will support cross-play on PC between Steam and Epic Game Store players. Dying Light 2 - Stay Human releases read the zombie hordes on February 4th and has been released in all formats (even if the Switch owners have to settle for a streaming version).

Sony expect Activision's games to continue to be multi-platform
SirMadsen posted a blog entry in Sirmadsen's Blog
Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard could have major consequences for Playstation: there is a risk that games and series such as Call of Duty, Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 will not be released for Sony's console. It will probably take at least until the deal is approved and completed before that issue is on the agenda, but Sony has already made it clear that they expect Activision's games to continue to come to Playstation. They also expect the agreements to be fulfilled. A spokesman for the Wall Street Journal (paywall) says: Microsoft said in the press release about the deal that they intend to continue to support communities on "a number of platforms", which should mean that games available on e.g. Playstation and Switch will continue to do so. But the question of what will happen to new games when the deal has gone through, there is no answer to now. In 2014, Mojang and Minecraft were bought by Microsoft, and it remains for Playstation, Nintendo and other platforms. The same goes for all Bethesda games that were out there when the company was bought 1.5 years ago. But - upcoming Starfield will be released exclusively for Xbox and Windows. So Diablo 4 and other heavyweights can probably cause headaches for the Sony camp for a while. What are your thoughts?

Until very recently, the somewhat misleading name Playstation Mobile has been the sender of all Playstation Steam games. Now, instead, Playstation PC is stepping up as publisher, which feels more logical. Unless Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, God of War and two Uncharteds were proof enough, we can probably state that, yes, Playstation games on PC are here to stay. According to VGC , the name Playstation PC was registered already in April, but only now is it used sharply. It remains to be seen exactly how much Sony will use the name, because if we look at the collection page on Steam , it is Playstation Studios ( also relatively new , for that matter) that stands out above all. Sony has said that more PC games are coming. Maybe a Spider-Man game will be revealed next?
