Sony is taking its first big step in unifying PlayStation games across consoles and PC.

Today, Insomniac Games rolled out an update that allows players to link PlayStation Network accounts to Spider-Man on Steam. This integration is a big deal for Sony’s cross-platform future and is one step closer to full and meaningful integration with its PlayStation games, especially single-player games.
The update follows the guidelines for creating synergies that we presented a few days ago. Sony is doing this in the best possible way by offering gamers incentives and rewards for linking their PlayStation Network and Steam accounts. This development indicates that Sony is open to creating its own type of Ubisoft Connect platform that will offer in-game rewards for completing specific activities, which we have advised in our content.
This update also adds the ability to link your Steam and PlayStation Network accounts.
Doing this in this game grants you access to the Resistant Suit and the Concussive Blast Gadget and you will receive 2 skill points. You will also receive the latest news, updates and offers from PlayStation Studios games on PC or PlayStation platforms.
Account linking is optional and access to unlocked items is only available when accounts are linked.
Like Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network will be the primary connective tissue linking Sony’s cross-platform games. Sony plans to release more mobile, PC, and console games across all segments, including AAA single-player games like Spider-Man, live games, and free-to-play titles.

In the future, Sony will likely release its own PlayStation Launcher on PC, and failing that, there should be some sort of native PlayStation Stars integration that will reward players for completing goals on a more cross-platform level. Right now, PlayStation Stars is mostly limited to making game purchases with a few additional campaigns, but that should roll out to all platforms at some point.
Cross-platform trophy integration can also be explored depending on Valve’s policies on the matter.
We should see many more incentives like these in future PlayStation games released on Steam.
