History

2021: Sony bought Nixxes Software

At the end of June 2021, Sony announced the purchase of the Dutch gaming studio Nixxes Software, which is engaged in porting console games to different platforms. The financial terms of the transaction are not disclosed.

By June 2021, Nixxes Software supported only games released by Square Enix. The company's works include games such as Legacy of Cain, Marvel's Avengers. The studio also ported Tomb Raider and Deus Ex series games to the PC. Taking into account the experience of Nixxes Software in porting, Sony expects that the studio will allow you to transfer more exclusive PlayStation games to PCs, while the company will not need to distract PlayStation developers from creating new games.
