SEGA and Atlus have announced that they are negotiating with platform owners to bring more of their classic games and newer titles to both video game consoles and PC, following the success of Persona 4: The Golden on Steam. The types of games and titles they plan to bring to platformer systems are:
- Console and PC ports
- New multi-platform releases from the beginning
- Bring priority to Steam releases next to console
Here is what was said:
Q: “Persona 4 the Golden” has sold well on Steam, but do you have plans to sell new games on Steam as well?
A: We remastered ‘Persona 4 the Golden’, a title previously sold on the PlayStation Vita, and released it for sale this year on Steam. Due to the critical acquisition of the game and its low selling price, sales were much stronger than expected. We will continue to actively promote porting of previously released titles to Steam and new platforms. We are also negotiating in the future with platform owners for new games, and we are considering ways to sell under favorable terms for each title. Among them are measures as prepared from PC versions of the titles from the beginning, with multi-platform releases in mind.
