Sony Promises to Focus More on Single Player Games

Sony PlayStation

Sony for the last few years has given the gaming world some remarkable exclusive content. Games like The Last of Us, Spider-Man, and God of War have done very well in sells and even have won a variety of awards between them. God of War this year took home the grand prize of game of the year, while Spider-Man took home best narrative. So, suffice it to say, Sony has been pretty successful when it comes to their single player games. In fact, they’ve been successful enough that they’ve opted to focus more of their time developing single player games. 

This isn’t a surprise for anyone paying attention. For many years gamers have been largely complaining about a few things. One of them is the lack of single player and focus on multiplayer games. That’s not to say that multiplayer games don’t have their place, but most people consider multiplayer to be the side dish of a meal that has been light as of late on the entree.

It’s something Microsoft has also failed to catch so far. Games like Fortnite, PUBG, and Call of Duty are fun, but multiplayer isn’t what attracts players. Most multiplayer is simply a rinse and repeat with a few small additions and innovations between them. In fact, there are very few differences between early FPS shooters and the current ones. Updated graphics and a few different game mechanics account for almost all the differences.

People aren’t attracted to games because of the multiplayer. Games attract fans because of their single-player story. In fact, games that have a poor story mode, even if they have a strong multiplayer, tend to not do well. One need only look at games such as Halo and Call of Duty games which were successful vs which weren’t. So even though Xbox has arguably a better system and even better online experience will continue to lag behind PlayStation. PlayStation listened to gamers and changed their focus accordingly.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players

The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.

According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.

It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.

What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.

E3 is long gone, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have any exciting video game events this summer. Geoff Keighley, the host, has just revealed that the highly anticipated Summer Game Fest event is making a comeback on Friday, June 7th, at 5 PT/5 p.m. ET/10 p.m. BST. The event will be streamed live from the YouTube Theatre in glamorous Los Angeles.

In a recent tweet, Keighley assured his followers that a large number of fans will be present at the event, both in person and online. He expressed excitement about the upcoming cross-platform showcase, where the future of video games will be unveiled. Presumably, PlayStation and other gaming companies will have their own separate livestreams. However, Sony has a tendency to support Summer Game Fest, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for any announcements from them.

If you’re thinking of going, tickets will be available for purchase starting on Tuesday, May 7th. It’s definitely an event worth noting on your calendar. So, what are your expectations for this year’s Summer Game Fest? Feel free to share your dream announcements in the comments section below.
