Sony will bring 'Uncharted 4' to the PC

Sony

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will no longer be a Sony PlayStation-exclusive game. In a report presented to its investors, Sony has shared that the title will be heading to the PC. It's part of a strategy to find new fans for the IP and reach new geographies. Days Gone arrived on Steam on May 19, so Uncharted might follow suit. Aside from using these two titles as new growth vectors, Sony believes its mobile efforts will also bring new audiences. The company plans to bring its "most popular franchises" to mobile, as seen through a job ad posted earlier this year. 

In the same report, Sony told investors it is expecting to break even on the standard edition of the PS5 this June and become profitable in the months after that.
