“PlayStation Network is poised to deliver an enviable line-up of exclusive and imaginative games this year, with highly anticipated first-party titles like thatgamecompany’s Journey and PixelJunk Sidescroller,” said Brandon Stander, director of PlayStation Network marketing, SCEA . “We’re doubling down on PlayStation Network software, and🐟 under this additional investment over the next three years, we anticipate a steady flow of high-quality titles that can’t be found anywhere else.”

The first games t🔥o benefit from the cash injection are Eufloria, an “ambient real-time strategy game” from Omni Systems that was previously released on Steam in 2009; Okabu, a cartoony “hyper-tactile toybox world” experience from the Rolando devs at Hand Circus; PAYDAY: The Heist, Overkill Software's first-person shooter crime game which will support up to three human partners in crime; and Papo & Yo, an atmospheric platformer puzzle game starring a young boy and his giant frog-eating monster from the indie team at Minority.
