Sony Looks for Software Dev Engineer
GamesRadar reported that Sony is looking for a software development engineer to work for its new PS3 emulator. But, is this job opening really for the development of the new video game console emulator?
Experts stated that the individual would likely work on the new PS3 emulator since Sony said that interested applicants would focus on supporting the relaunching of Classics for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
"Classic games run via emulation of legacy PlayStation platforms. As a Classics engineer, you would work closely with a group of other engineers, producers, and QA teams to fix bugs, add new features, and develop new emulators," said Sony via its official LinkedIn post.
Meanwhile, Sony confirmed that PlayStation is skipping Gamescom 2022.
On the other hand, two new PlayStation PC game releases were leaked.
