Sony Interactive Entertainment has made yet another acquisition this week.
The PlayStation firm has bought Nixxes Software, a Dutch developer that has done PC ports for the likes of Marvel's Avengers, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy for Square Enix.
“I highly respect Nixxes and am excited for this very experienced team to become part of the world-class development community at SIE,” PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst said.
“They have a passion for improving games and for delivering the best possible experience for gamers. Nixxes will be a strong asset for everyone across PlayStation Studios, helping our teams focus on their most important goal, which is to create unique PlayStation content at the best possible quality.”
Nixxes founder and senior director of development Jurjen Katsman added: “We can’t wait to get to work and are so excited to bring our technical and development expertise to an IP powerhouse like PlayStation Studios. We’re looking forward to working with some of the most talented teams in the industry to deliver the highest-quality gameplay experiences for PlayStation fans.”
This comes in the wake of PlayStation acquiring Housemarque earlier this week. It could also be part of Sony's new strategy of bringing its console exclusive IP to PC. The firm has launched Days Gone and Horizon Zero Dawn on the platform, while Uncharted 4 might also be making the leap.
