Det ambitiösa och expansiva No Man's Sky, utvecklat av brittiska indie-studion Hello Games, är planerat att släppas till Playstation 4 senare i höst. Även om titeln är tidsexklusiv behandlar Sony det som om det utvecklats av en av deras egna studios. I en intervju med MCV berättar Playstation UK-chefen Fergal Gara om samarbetet med Hello Games:
"No Man's Sky has been treated as if it was from one of our internal studios. We have been working very closely with the developers and bringing it into our release programme as if we had made it. We are not going to treat it any differently and we are going to put the full weight of PlayStation behind it. If it all comes together as well as expected, it will be treated like a first-party release; it is not a self-published small indie title on the platform."
I samma intervju säger Gara att spelet, tillsammans med andra indie-titlar, kan komma att få en fysisk release senare.
"It is entirely possible that we will release some of these games together, digitally and physically, or one after another, but it will be decided on a title-by-title basis."
