The excitement is building for the Tokyo Game Show 2025, with major players like PlayStation, Sega, and Square Enix confirmed to attend. This years event promises to be a showcase of innovation and creativity in the gaming industry, featuring not only the latest titles but also exclusive merchandise that fans won’t want to miss.

In a recent statement, Hermen Hulst, the head of PlayStation studios, emphasized the company’s careful strategy regarding which games to port to PC. This approach aims to balance expanding their audience while maintaining the value of the PS5 console. Unlike Xbox, which releases games on both platforms simultaneously, Sony has opted for a more measured rollout, typically waiting a year after the console launch for its major titles to hit PC.
