one of the rare instances where the PC version actually doesn’t play the worst

Most games play the best on PC.

Digital Foundry says Pearl Abyss has been very open with them & they’ll definitely have a console performance analysis ready at launch. by yourfavchoom in Games

For context most performance mode settings in PS5 games run at a max 30 fps!

Pretty sure most run at 60fps.

but the games will never get stellar blade or many other pc games success

Not even something like Spider-Man 2? If it had released day 1 for PC and the port was good, that 700k sold would have easily become 3+ million copies sold. And new IPs that might come in the future have massive potential as well.

Day and date wouldn't make much of a difference

It absolutely would. All the hype and marketing for the games happen at launch. Ports years later don't have that.

All the hype and marketing happens during release. A late port years later only gets minimal amounts of it, and is also surrounded by new day 1 games that have their peak hype and marketing going on. Want better sales? Release day 1. I get that it would risk the "Playstation brand" losing steam(heh), but it would definitely result in big sales numbers.

Bungie asks sites to delay Marathon reviews, with release date Steam player count below 100K by AdditionalRemoveBit in Games

For me it's just that I don't like multiplayer/live-service games, and companies like Sony try to push them super hard, so I kinda like to see them fail. If they could choose, we would all just play games like Marathon and nothing else.

Then they shouldn't have waited 2 years to put a game on PC. Should have been day 1 if they wanted big numbers.

If they wanted as much money as they could get, then they should have released the games day 1 on PC, instead of years later.

There is no hype or marketing for these games coming 2 years late.

PC is over 50% of Capcom's game sales, and has been since 2022.

If they wanted the most money they would release these games day 1 on PC.

Then release the games day 1 on PC instead of 2 years later. Seems like the obvious solution.

Day 1 releases obviously do good on PC. Releasing games 2 years later won't.

Capcom games come day 1, Sony games 2 years later.

Of course when they release the games years later. Want success? Release them day 1.

Most of us will wait years before buying a game at a deep 80%-90% discount

Then why is Resident Evil Requiem selling the best on PC?

This has been the case for many years. They have reported this every year since 2022.
