Home's service director Peter Edward told MCV that the virtual world will be integral to future PS3 releases.
"Home is the starting point for PlayStation 3 online, and that's something that gamers are going to expect as more games support Game Launch from within Home," he said.
"This will become an essential component for all PS3 games."
Edward's comments coincide with the latest Home usage figures, which revealed that seven million users have downloaded the service, three million of whom are from Europe.
