PlayStation Multiplatform Leak Upsets PS5 Players

Wow, so Sony might be making the leap to put its games on Xbox and Nintendo? Yeah, you read that right. Somewhere out there, a job ad slipped through the cracks — not your usual “need a new marketing guy” kind of thing. No, they’re hunting for someone to help spread their games beyond the familiar PlayStation turf.

This gig, Senior Director of Multiplatform-whatever, it’s like opening a time capsule full of pandemonium for PlayStation diehards. Imagine waking up to find Zelda on a PS5 — okay, that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, right? It just feels… odd. So, bam! This post talks about shepherding PlayStation Studios titles all over the place. Steam, Epic Games, you name it — that job ad’s waving the flag.

Anyway, people are flipping tables. Xbox fans, though? They’re throwing confetti because, well, why wouldn’t they? Dive into the swamp of social media and forums, and it’s a mess of rants and “What are you doing, Sony?”

And look, I get it. Folks say Microsoft’s onboard with this trend, and now their console sales are in a scraping-the-bottom situation. I mean, if you’re getting the good stuff everywhere, why stick with one brand, right? People worry about PlayStation following that route.

Industry vets, some of them say exclusives just don’t hold the power they used to. And I kinda see their point — but, oye, it’s a tough pill to swallow for the loyal crowd. Change, y’know? One former PlayStation guy said it’s inevitable. Nostalgia isn’t gonna pay the bills, apparently.

So, what’s your take? Did Helldivers 2 start the rumble of change for Sony?
