Leaked PlayStation Store Icons Point to PS5PC Cross‑Buy Testing

Sony has not confirmed the feature, leaving key details unresolved.

Overview

  • Images posted by dataminer Amethxst show new PlayStation Store badges labeled "Cross‑Buy" and "PS5/PC," which Dealabs and multiple outlets reported as legitimate.
  • PC Gamer and GadgetMatch report the assets as evidence that Sony may be exploring a way to obtain PS5 and PC versions together.
  • The reporting does not specify which titles would participate or whether the option would extend beyond first‑party releases.
  • It remains unclear which PC storefronts a cross‑buy program would work with, such as Steam, the Epic Games Store, or GOG.
  • Coverage situates the leak within Sony’s profitable push into PC releases and contrasts it with Microsoft’s existing Xbox‑to‑PC cross‑buy approach.
