Could be like the games XGS published on Switch which need an XBL account and have Xbox achievements. E.g. the Steam games are all linked to the PSN profile?
I'd guess you just have to login to your PS account after launching the game. Similar to how Microsoft games work when you buy them on Steam and want to get achievements
Mr.Phoenix
still think I'm wrong here? 
They could do a Steam integration. Some Xbox games such as Ori and Halo Infinite can be linked with your Xbox Live account and you can get achievements there and on Steam.
Tell me your login details and I'll login in for you...friend
I think Sony will start to work their exclusivity deals PC exclusivity to their storefront. I think they'll eventually enable VR support for PC via their storefront. They know that by creating their own storefront on PC they can:
So the questions are why would 3rd parties support PlayStation Store on PC?
- Avoid paying Steam royalty fees, which would drastically increase their PC game revenues
- Generate additional royalties from 3rd party supporters
Because it could ultimately drive down costs on Steam to have another competitor there. Maybe even drive down royalties on PS5 games if Sony gives publishers deals for games that appear in both stores.
So why would consumers want PlayStation Store on PC?
Trophies, cross game saves, maybe some level of cross library access, more VR support, particularly AAA VR support, and other benefits along with PS+ subscription service, which I think should still include Crunchyroll.
Wait...you can get Xbox achievements on Steam?!
Sony will try where everyone else has, and in the end they would come to the realisation that everyone else: people won’t move from Steam.

Yep, have to link your Xbox account to the Steam account for Microsoft games and then you get achievements. Doesn't work for some of their older titles, but all the recent ones that I've played are like this
This is awesome. I assume it's basically limited to games that are also available on the Windows Store app and have achievements on there?
Weird. I was playing Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 on GOG....I think what you mean is that every PC should be available on Steam.
It's kinda mixed unfortunately. Almost all PC games Microsoft has released since 2019 have achievements on either version. There are some before that which have achievements on the Microsoft PC launcher, but not on Steam. Here's the list of the Steam games that have achievements:
I hope you're right, homie. I'm paying whatever and throwing all my morals out of the window to see The Show and GT in all its glory on the Master Race, lmao.

Yep! Relatively new feature. Definitely not world-changing but I'm glad they've done it because I feel like they've stop trying to push the shitty Windows store version down our throats and embraced Steam, which is better for everyone.
There were some rumors on that. I do believe that Sony will make their own launcher sooner or later. The question is whether it succeed with Valve being the de-facto PC game store.
Why not? No one says you need to use it.
Okay you mean like CDPR launcher on steam?
Whatever allows me to get trophies on PC and ties to my PSN ID.
All sounds plausible. I still doubt it though, especially being that we have seen how the PC space responded to the Epic store. The one draw that a PSPC store could have though is cross-platform purchases. Buy on one platform have the game on both....etc.

Preach!
Not really. Every PC storefront is just gutter trash. The Xbox app is slow and lacks features. Same for the Ubisoft app or Battle.net. Epic is also trash with almost nothing but a storefront and took years to introduce achievements. Most don't tolerate other storefronts because 1. No one wants to make yet another account, and 2. We all know the store will be ass because it took Steam almost two decades to get to the point where they're at. Unless someone releases a competent store out of the gate with forums, ratings, publisher pages, reviews, content creation, and all the rest, they'll be unfavorably compared to Steam. Most players don't come to the PC space in the hopes of besting Steam, they just get in because they don't want to give Steam their cut but don't bother giving users a reason to use their platform instead. If Sony gets in, it would be strictly to sell Playstation Studios games and I don't wanna download yet another launcher for a handful of games. Enough with Rockstar, Ubisoft, Steam, GOG, Xbox, EA Play, Epic, and Battle.net.
