Returnal PC Version Announced, Will Shoot Out "Early 2023"

Shown off with a short trailer, Returnal will hit PCs sometime in "early 2023," though no specific month or date was given.

Vits550d ago

Just giving more credibility to the Nvidia Leaks. Meaning that we should probably see Demon's Souls, Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet & Clank soon enough.

VersusDMC550d ago

Bayonetta 3 is also on that list coming to PC.

Sgt_Slaughter550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

Switch uses an Nvidia chipset so that's probably why it was listed (same with the Nintendo Wii games that were released on the Nvidia Shield in China), I doubt Nintendo would let it release on PC without suddenly changing their stance on external releases and publishing it themselves.

RedDevils549d ago

Hope it does, what a waste if it on the Switch only.

Sirk7x549d ago

Any Nintendo published games on PC, even those not developed by them, would be a huge change for the company.

RaidenBlack550d ago

Jensen's prophecy comes true ... most, if not all, of the Geforce leak is coming true

Snookies12550d ago

Yes please! Returnal, Demon's Souls, Horizon and Ratchet would be incredible on PC! I've got a nice system, but hardly ever play anything demanding on it.

Magic_Spatula550d ago

Wish Sony would get Bluepoint to remake Bloodborne and stick that on PC. A person can dream.

darthv72550d ago

If a remake happens, it will be on PS5 first then come to PC. That is their routine now.

RedDevils549d ago

Yes, make money on your platform first, then make more by selling it as a new game price in 2 years time on PC.

This was always going to be the case - too many leaks, and even screenshot leaks, for this to be fake.

Everything Sony will come to PC. PC gamers are the true winners this generation.

darthv72550d ago

but... PS5 SSD is better than PC. How can this be?

FPS_D3TH550d ago

Maybe at launch but this isn’t the case anymore two years later lmao

Army_of_Darkness550d ago

Yeah, as long as you don't mind waiting a year or two..

Imalwaysright547d ago

I'm more than ok with waiting if it means that I won't have to spend €500 on a PS5 + paying to play online.

Crows90550d ago

That does it. This is my last console generation. Moving back to PC full time.

Snookies12550d ago

This is a wise choice. Seems like just about anything "exclusive" is heading to PC at some point down the road now. Barring Nintendo games, of course. They just love their own little bubble, lol.

Army_of_Darkness550d ago

The PC version of PS5 exclusives are not significant enough for me to switch completely to PC and endure waiting a year or two just to get to play them. No thanks. I'm still sticking to PlayStation consoles until they stop making them.

lonewolf10550d ago

It's what I have done this gen, my first without any new consoles, although I already played more on PC.
OT Cool this is coming soon, now about that Demon's Souls remake rumor.......

MadLad550d ago

As a long time PC gamer who also still buys consoles, this is my last time saying the latter I think.

Unless they keep the form factor of something like the Series S; making it easy to travel with, I'm not going in on consoles anymore in general. Especially now with the Steam Deck changing the game in what a portable game system can be.

-Foxtrot550d ago

Seems like a plan

Like I don’t mind PS3/PS4 games but why recent games from this Gen? Makes no sense to me

Defeats the point of having a console when you can just have something singular and wait patiently.

Sony need to keep some things exclusive in my opinion

Crows90550d ago

absolutely agree. Their hardcore base is actually smart...mostly. So it does no good to keep releasing this new games on PC...itll move more people to PC. They may be counting on the premise that most console gamers may not feel comfortable with pc but I do. I've built mine before sooo no issue moving over again.

RedDevils549d ago

I just play on both, one in the living room and one in the play room.

MadLad550d ago

Been saying this since the day they announced they were interested in PC. More and more games will come more and more quickly.

6 month exclusivity window, while even some games will be day one.

tay8701550d ago

nah more like 1 yr for some, longer for others. the only day 1 games are going to be the live service games, which makes sense otherwise they wouldnt be able get the player number needed to make them a success.

MadLad550d ago

Agree to disagree.
The trajectory of this is pretty much on point with what I've been saying for a long time now.

lonewolf10550d ago

This 100% I reckon, only time will tell though. That 2 or more years wait soon dropped off quick, much to the bemusement of many.

FPS_D3TH550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

Lmao at the disagrees over people stating the obvious about Sony games coming to PC. Cope

VersusDMC550d ago

The PC version will for sure be slightly better...but no one would wait a year + to play God of War Ragnarok or the rest of the first party games when they can play it on PS5 right away.

That's why there are disagrees.

FPS_D3TH550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

I mean I can and I will lmao. Pc has way too many options and even older better games than some of the modern crap released today. Console appeals to whatever’s trending and new. Believe you me, most of us can wait. I’m absolutely not buying a ps5 just to play a single game lol

mkis007550d ago

The problem is avoiding spoilers for over a year is impossible. Non-starter for me.

Plagasx550d ago

@mkis007 if you're social media obsessed, sure.

tay8701550d ago

@FPS i wouldnt buy a ps5 for 1 game either, but PS has far and away the best studios and games in the business. every single yr they are in the running for game of the yr. its been a great yr for PS, and its only going to get better. ive had an awesome time playing my ps5 with games like rift apart, HFW, returnal, ragnarok, gt7, last of us. cant wait to see what all the sony studios have in store.

SierraGuy549d ago

PS5 is LITERALLY the day 1 gamepass for Sony first party.

Accept it peasants.

blackblades550d ago

No one really cares but you few people that keep bring it up. Millions are playing on ps5 only less will on pc.

MadLad550d ago

PC brings in the most revenue, and gets supported more and more each year.

Why do you think more and more Eastern games are being ported to PC? Especially after decades of almost no support.
Devs see where the wind is blowing.

You care enough to keep commenting and down playing it every chance.

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC58d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier58d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k458d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Cacabunga58d ago

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8558d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga57d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS757d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

raWfodog57d ago

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto57d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies57d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Abear2157d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS757d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast57d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.

Some solid choices but i feel they're late to the party. I'm subscriptioned out like most people.

vTuro2473d ago

This made me check out the current month and holy crap it's actually a great bundle. It's unfortunate that Saints Row is among them but the Nioh 2 and Afterimage make it worth it. I think I'll probably grab it and give away Saints Crap.
