Ha, I remember watching a digital foundry video recently where they speculated this was the case, looks like they were right.

I'm very impressed with their back catalog. Their first game port was Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver to Dreamcast.
I love Nixxes their ports are so good. Also they are from the town I was born in and I even applied for a QA role at their company many many moons ago. They deserve all the credit they get, super huge get for Sony

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Creating the PC Version
Find out how Eidos-Montréal, Nixxes and AMD collaborated to create the PC version of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.DX12 Support for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is no...

The Deus Ex: Mankind Divided vid really showcases what comes at play and their role ^^.
Great work and I guess probably really helping the ICE Team at sony for most of their in-house proprietary engines.
yeah they've been involved with Crystal Dynamics (and Eidos / Squeenix later on) for a long time. I believe some some of the development regarding the Crystal/Foundation engine (which powers the Deus Ex games and the new Tomb Raiders iirc) also happened at Nixxes.
That's great. They're one of the best port studios. I'm glad that the acquisition is already paying off for Sony.
The recent patch is amazing. The game looks utterly stunning at 4k/Ultra/120/DLSS on my 3080. Flawless. The image quality is jaw dropping. Such a turnaround from release, when it was a total mess.
Virtuos was the one that originally ported the game right?
This sure gives me confidence for the rumored MGS3 remake from them lol
Nixxes was an awesome investment from Sony. They do such good work as has been proven time and time again.
about that...
about that...
Sorry my glib joke didn't land well. Sony's been buying a lot of studios recently.
I'm probably falling for bait here, but
Sony acquired them months ago
I'm glad Playstation got these guys*, having better quality PC ports can only be a good thing for everyone.
Havn't been keeping up with it, is the Halo Infinite PC port really that bad? I should look for the DF video.

It's like 5/10 compare to something like gears 5. Broken v sync dynamic res that ties to v sync also. DF explains all of it. There is also a save file corruption bug. It is also not just the pc version that have issue, I switch over to my series x, it's doesn't feel right neither for what is supposed to be a 60fps game. HDTV test also commented on it DV HDR implementation isn't right.
Nixxes is an incredible studio when it comes to porting games to PC. As a PC gamer, I was excited when they got acquired by Sony because it meant they were super-duper-extra-serious about their PC ports.
If I remember correctly, the wording around their acquisition was they would help support PC ports and also build up the studio to make their own game in the future.
They probably work on Forbidden West now. Digital Foundry hinted that the port won't take long.
Nixxes stepping in for the recent patches explains the long gap between the 1.10 release with the message that the PC port is done because they have to ramp up development for Forbidden West and this massive 1.11 patch almost a year later. It's really cool to see.
The notion that Virtuous alone is responsible for the shoddy PC port of HZD is not entirely fair. Both Guerilla and Virtuous are listed in the credits for the PC version, with both studios providing production leads, technical directors and programming staff. If Guerilla oversaw the port then it's just as much on them as it is on Virtuous.
