Nixxes previous work includes work on PC ports and optimizations for tons of games, including the recently released Marvel’s Avengers, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and the Tomb Raider reboot series that has come to PC.

With Sony’s slow focus on bringing some formerly PlayStation-exclusive titles to the world of PC, it isn’t too shocking to see them look to invest in studios familiar with porting titles. Whether or not any more games will begin to make the move is unknown, but it does show that Sony is very ready to improve in any way it can.
