Sega, which held a question and answer presentation for its investors after releasing its financial results for the April to June quarter, received a query about whether there are plans to include Steam among the platforms for new titles after the performance of Persona 4 Golden on the platform.

In its response, Sega confirmed that it is considering PC versions of games in development for multi-platform releases, as Persona 4 Golden‘s sales were much stronger than expected, as translated by Persona Central.

Sega said that it will also be promoting ports for previously released games to Steam and other platforms, so it appears that Persona 4 Golden will not be the last game to be ported to the PC.

Its commitment to ports has apparently already started, with Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster set to release worldwide for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in spring 2021.

Persona 4 Golden‘s success on PC

Persona 4 Golden, which was previously a PlayStation Vita exclusive, launched for PC through Steam in June with a $20 price tag for the standard edition. Developed by Sega unit Atlus, the RPG is generally considered one of the best games on Sony’s discontinued handheld console, but the exclusivity had limited its reach.

In less than a month, Persona 4 Golden reached the milestone of 500,000 players on PC, with the achievement just in time for the 12th anniversary of the game’s launch for the PlayStation 2 in Japan.

What does the Blank Voucher do in Balatro?
There are 32 Vouchers in the game but one stands out from all the rest.
A list of Jokers stacked together from Balatro.

Vouchers can make or break your run in Balatro, and deciding which ones to buy from the shop is key to your success. Vouchers offer permanent buffs that come in handy once you face the obnoxiously high Boss Blinds your decks must clear in the late game. 

Priced at $10 each, they are also the most expensive upgrades in the game, so you typically want to buy Vouchers that immediately impact the game. But there’s one voucher that doesn't do much of anything, at least at first. The aptly named Blank Voucher stands out among the 32 Vouchers in the game for being odd and seemingly useless.
