This is not surprising, as the PC has become much more important to the gaming industry in recent years.

Of course Sony has a completely different business model than Microsoft, which is already firmly connected to the PC via Windows. However, the huge community is one way to increase sales.

Examples like Death Stranding and Persona 4 Golden have recently shown that PC gamers take even older titles with a kiss.
