Common questions on PlayStation, surfaced from across the indexed web.

How does Jacob Navok explain the link between PlayStation disc phaseout and potential lower PS Store prices?

Navok argues that current PS Store prices are anchored to physical retail pricing, so if discs disappear publishers will compete directly on the PS Store and drive prices down similar to Steam. He points to Final Fantasy XVI's falling Steam price as an example and emphasizes that publishers, not Sony, set PS Store prices, while competition between storefronts mainly changes developer revenue rather than consumer prices. He also admits this outcome is speculative. Answered

Can Asobi: Remote Play stream PlayStation Plus Premium cloud games on Steam Deck?

Yes. The article states Asobi: Remote Play is a native SteamOS app that supports cloud gaming for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, effectively enabling PlayStation Plus Premium cloud streaming on a Steam Deck after you sync your PSN account. Answered

New app turns Steam Deck into a PlayStation Portal for PS5 game streaming and PlayStation Plus cloud gaming
What proportion of PlayStation sales for Black Ops II and Black Ops I occurred on PS5 versus PS4?

Black Ops II: 93% of PlayStation sales were on PS5 and 7% on PS4. Black Ops I: 94% of PlayStation sales were via PS5 (the article does not specify the PS4 share). Answered

Call of Duty Black Ops I & II sold 11 million copies on PS4 and PS5, per analyst estimates
What evidence does the article cite comparing Steam discounting (e.g., Final Fantasy XVI) to PS Store pricing behavior?

The article cites Jacob Navok pointing to Final Fantasy XVI’s falling Steam price as an example of how publisher competition on a digital storefront can drive prices down over a game’s lifecycle. It also notes counterevidence: research from a Dutch lawsuit finding digital PlayStation games cost an average of 47% more than the same game on disc, and the observation that Steam’s heavy discount culture has not similarly appeared on PSN or the Nintendo eShop despite most console sales being digital.
