Sony may soon launch its own PlayStation computer gaming platform
According to foreign media Video Game Chronicle According to the report, following analyzing the computer version of “Marvel’s Spider-Man Remake”, it was found that the words “PlaySation PC Launcher” (PlayStation PC Launcher) appeared in it, which means that such a platform may be in Sony’s future plans.
