While it certainly cannot be forgotten, it was June of this month that Sega went on whim to abruptly launch Persona 4 Golden for Steam. Originally, the game was unique to Sony’s PlayStation Vita, but the chances of a PC port was virtually zero to none. At most, many fans anticipated a version to be curated for Nintendo Switch, but PC is a long-shot, or so we thought.
Regardless, the game arrived with an unexpected amount of traction heading towards the 2012 game on Steam. Within its first month selling more than half a million copies, Sega commented that the firm would be pursuing to work in more entries from Atlus to other platforms later on. But now in a recent financial report from Sega, the publisher reiterates on the matter.
While the firm is still ambitious to migrate more Atlus titles to other platforms as well as PC, Sega Sammy had this to say on the matters this month:
As for Steam, while we haven’t been actively releasing Atlus titles on PC, we felt that there was much potential there and put out a direct port of Persona 4 Golden for PC, and the user response was far beyond our expectations. That being said, we hope to release Atlus catalog titles across various platforms, whether as direct ports or in the form of remasters or remakes.

Of course, Sega has for the past few years asked its user base as to what games they would like to see come to other platforms, in particular the Nintendo Switch. The firm polled users on over a dozen entries and a couple of those aforementioned titles already released or to be for the Nintendo eShop already.
Similarly, Sega also has a separate pursuit to release other Yakuza entries in the west that are currently unique to Japan. With Rya Ga Gotoku Studio & Sega already handling some installments to PC and Xbox in the past year, it is entailed that these entries would face releases on newer systems as well.
