Reports indicate Sony's plans to move away from first-party PC releases

Since the release of the PlayStation 5 all the way back in 2020, Sony's strategy around first party games has shifted. Instead of maintaining a library of games exclusive to their consoles, they opted for a period of exclusivity, typically around two years, with a more widespread PC release following.

A headache in all the right ways - a look at Battleplan’s Steam Next Fest demo

ICYMI: It’s not often I give demos a shot nowadays, but every so often something interesting will crop up that demands a bit of my time, even when I would otherwise be very enthusiastic about a classic Pokemon game having just been re-released on a modern platform. Battleplan is definitely interesting though, and given the demo will likely only be available for a few more days as a part of Steam’s Next Fest, I’m somewhat in a rush to tell people to try it for themselves.
