Sony acquires Nixxes, specialist in porting / optomizing console game to PC

Sony acquires Nixxes, specialist in porting / optomizing console game to PC

Remember the Tomb Raider optimizations for PC?, that was Nixxes. But also Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn and Predator Hunting Grounds on PC. Sony acquired the company Nixxes, a specialist in making console ports to PC.

For more than 20 years now, Nixxes has been in business, and their latest work includes PC games ports such as Deus Ex, Mankind Divided, Avengers and the Tomb Raider trilogy ports that are currently developing.

The takeover has been announced on Twitter: “I am delighted to announce that talented Dutch studio Nixxes Software will join Playstation Studios. It is a real pleasure to welcome a team with such deep technical skill and vast experience to the Playstation family."

Sony is working on an uncharted 4 PC port, and the company would like more ports to be launched because it helps increase its title revenues without adding a lot of development costs. Sony clearly stated that its next PC releases won't be available on Playstation on the launch day, but we'll have to wait for a while for their exclusivity to end. However, it seems we can play several more titles on PC if we have patience.

If this means more Playstation "exclusives" will be released on PC and sooner, then it's good news.

Horizon Zero Dawn was not made on PC by Nixxes, at leasts thats what was Sony and Guerilla Games were telling people, it was some super small 3rd party studio that $ony didn't even mention they name.

Honestly I don't understand why they didn't do that sooner. If they're selling consoles at a loss, you don't even need to sell a console to sell a game to someone if you let PC users in.
