Since then, a Sony job listing has advertised a role for &#8220;shaping and executing the global commercial strategy for PS Studios software titles across all digital platforms beyond PlayStation hardware, including Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, Nintendo, and mobile&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This caused some to wonder whether Sony would join Microsoft in going almost fully multi-platform, but the suggestions were later cooled by another industry insider, Shinobi602, who said people are &#8220;really getting carried away&#8221; with the advert. With no confirmation from Sony, fans seem to think live-service titles like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/fairgames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fairgames<\/a> make sense on Xbox, as well as smaller projects like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/06\/rumour-greek-god-of-war-game-is-a-2-5d-metroidvania\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rumoured 2.5D <strong>God of War<\/strong> game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"youtube-watch\"><a title=\"Watch This Video on YouTube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YLzSjJcEhDI\" class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch on <strong> YouTube<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/pushsquare?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\">Push Square<\/a> on <a class=\"sub-button external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/pushsquare?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube159k<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The job listing that sparked the original debate was seeking a new hire to optimise &#8220;title profitability&#8221; across PS5, PS4, as well as &#8220;Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, Nintendo, and mobile&#8221;. Another responsibility would be to oversee &#8220;mid-range commercial strategy for PS Studios titles across all non-PlayStation platforms, driving long-term revenue growth and audience reach&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>According to NateTheHate, at least, internal plans at PlayStation are going ahead with multi-platform expansion onto Xbox, after originally porting first-party classics to PC and then putting the Horizon series on Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<p>How do you react to the claim?
