Guerilla Confirms via Twitter that Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is Coming to PC

Guerilla tweets: "It's confirmed! Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is coming to PC Bow and arrow

We're excited that more players will be able to meet Aloy and explore the world of Horizon Zero Dawn this summer!"

[mrmikew2018]

Unbelievable.

[Jin_Sakai]

The important part.

“Hulst doesn't rule out more first-party games coming to PC, but says there are no plans to release PC versions of PlayStation games at the same time as their console counterparts.”

[The 10th Rider]

Important part being that more could be on the way or that they're not launching at the same time?

I'm sure both are highly dependent on the success of early ports like this.

[AspiringProGenji]

He said PS is still 100% dedicated to consoles and that there are no plans for PC ports. Maybe one PC port will happen at a time eventually, but they won’t make their console obsolete by bringing every game to PC

[mrmikew2018]

Yea we will see how true that is, but exclusives are definitely on their last legs as we know it.

No biggie, just something we have to get used to.

[-Foxtrot]

Still it's kind of weird when exclusives are what sell a console

Even if it comes out later the average person might just go

"Oh it'll come eventually. I can wait"

I have no idea what Sony are thinking unless it's

"Well Microsoft is doing it so we can aswell"

Missing the point that Microsoft and PC's go hand in hand for the obvious reasons.

[Obscure_Observer]

“Hulst doesn't rule out more first-party games coming to PC, but says there are no plans to release PC versions of PlayStation games at the same time as their console counterparts.”

6 months or so (Death Stranding) is not much time to wait

[UnSelf]

What is the big deal about exclusives eventually going to a PC after months and months of exclusivity. Now im not going to be naive and ask whats the issue with it going to another CONSOLE - that i understand well. But i dont get the chagrin with a 2 year later PC release. It comes across as if people are just upset for a petty reason.

Please explain and dont forget to leave a disagree.

[Christopher]

For people who aren't interested in PS in general, or are looking to not have to buy a console for exclusives, I think they're fine with waiting. I mean, how many people were fine waiting for Shadow of the Tomb Raider or Yakiza games or FFVII Remake?

[RememberThe357]

It's pretty simple. If Sony's games are gonna come out on PC there's really no reason to get a PlayStation. Get yourself a good rig and a Fire Stick or something. Better performance and more useful. It doesn't have to be emotional, but the logic makes sense.

If everything on HBO was on Netflix why would you bother with HBO? Same sort of thing.

IMO their just trying to bait PC gamers interests for the sequel and the PA5, but at the same time PC gamers might just wait for the sequel to come to PC as well.

[Unspoken]

It was inevitable. Consoles still target a market so they are going anywhere any time soon.

Sony wants to continue to hit new markets and not lose out on software sales. If they can maximise console sales and then penetrate the PC market...might be good for them.

PSFans should just keep buying the console to support their savoir company.

[MrBeatdown]

Great way to get someone on PC interested in a PS exclusive. You know the sequel is coming. Some might choose to wait, but I'd imagine there are those that will be convinced to buy a PS5 rather than wait years for a possible PC port.

[carcarias]

Yeah, I think the people that are upset should remember that it's highly unlikely the PC versions will release soon after the PS ones.

There's no conflict here, no betrayal imho. I simply don't see PC as a direct competitor to consoles, especially if the PC versions come out 2-3 years later. I mean, if Ghosts of Tsushima and TLoU2 turn out to be amazing, who wants to wait years to play them? Not that I'm saying both those will come to PC of course.

[carcarias]

@Obscure_Observer

Yeah, I see what you mean but Death Stranding's release timeframe is a bit of an exception. The PC version was always planned, Kojima mentioned it a few times before work even started. There even used to be the little PC logo on his KP website.

It was only when Sony stepped in later on that the PC version talk went silent but that didn't mean Kojima's plans had changed, just that they didn't want to shout it from the rooftops, imho.

I'm guessing that PC versions of PS exclusives will be probably be launched about 1-3 years after, depending on the importance of the title. The more important, the longer the wait. Just my hunch.

[darthv72]

Oh he has plans to release more but his phrasing is that "not every" game will come to PC and certainly "not at the same time as the console version". Most everyone can agree they will bring more of their games to PC when they feel the time is right. I'm already thinking it will be some of their older games like Killzone Shadowfall and maybe even Bloodborne, although that one would be up to FromSoftware to decide. I have a feeling that Days Gone will get a PC release at some point too.

They don't have to do it like MS does but it is nice they realize there is a PC side that may not be invested in PS but still want to play their games.

[r2oB]

I think Sony is willing to bring PS4 exclusives to PC because it's about to be a last gen console, anyone who wanted a PS4 to play these games has already bought a PS4. Once it's a last gen console, price cuts will be it's primary driver. I don't think you will see Sony AAA first party PS5 games coming to PC until the end part of its life cycle, so the people willing to wait may be waiting a very long time. This is my opinion.

[itsmebryan]

So, now will people start saying "PlayStation has no games!". Like they do about Xbox because their games are also on PC?

[extermin8or]

@obscureobserver Death Stranding was announced as a timed ps4 exclusive it isn't first party.

[DarXyde]

We also have no idea which games will receive PC ports. People can literally be waiting on games they will never see.

I think Horizon: Zero Dawn was always accepted as a game that'll make its way over, as is Death Stranding. As for some of the other games, I don't see The Last of Us going over to PC, but I do suspect PC will get the multiplayer title around the same time as PS4 with cross play enabled.

As for the rest, case by case, no doubt.

[S2Killinit]

Some people are trying to create a false equivalency between what Sony is doing with what MS does in an attempt to give MS a free hand. Imo these individuals’ loyalties lie with MS, not console gaming.

As for what Sony is doing, im a bit concerned if this is a slippery slope leading to a Strategy similar to MS, where console gaming will become more and more irrelevant by the day until it becomes a walled garden service. So, here’s hoping that PlayStation exclusives are never released day one on anything except PlayStation.

[super_bruno]

Sony and MS bringing exclusives to PC mean we won't need a console anymore in the future.

[bouzebbal]

a gorgeous looking game with super highly detailed mechs.
not my favorite open world game this gen, but i like the fighting mechanics in it, even if i would have prefered some extra movement patterns for melee.

[naruga]

wrong move ...what s the point of buying PS console then .....Hulst seems to not be a good addition to PS family ...he found the opportunity to release his game to PC in order to get sales

[Highlife]

The game is 3 years old! 3 years old! They weren't going to get many more sales from this game anyway. If they release a game to PC from time to time 3 years later how does that affect anything??

3 years later!!!

[RememberThe357]

So why not Bloodborn or The Last of Us? TLOF has a TV show and sequel coming out and could use the extra exposure. Both are even older games. Why Horizon? It is curious.

[bishup25]

naruga
"wrong move ...what s the point of buying PS console then"

if you were always going to get a console then you were always getting one regardless.

"Hulst seems to not be a good addition to PS family ...he found the opportunity to release his game to PC in order to get sales"

this decision was before the change. since Death stranding and the Quantic Dream collection.

[ZeroX9876]

knowing that the same engine is used for death stranding & Horizon zero dawn, I'm not really surprised. the amount of work for a great port must've been minimal.

[porkChop]

A lot of PC gamers will never buy a console. Selling first party games to those gamers is just good business.

[mandingo]

The same thing as timed exclusivity Highlife

[Edgelordsupreme]

A console is 400 to 500 dollars, I spent 900 CAD on my 2080 Super in August. That's not including my SSDs, Motherboard, Memory, CPU, PSU and case. My motherboard is more expensive than a PS4 Pro.

The market for console gaming, the market of people looking to spend 400 dollars is quite a bit larger than the people like me willing to spend 500+ on a CPU alone. There are still plenty of reasons to buy a console whether that's a Playstation or an Xbox. You people have been deluding yourselves for years about exclusive games and completely missed the forest for the trees.

Also, I still own a PS4 Pro for more than just the exclusives...weird huh?

[KwietStorm_BLM]

The point of buying a console is for people who don't game on PC. Why this continues to be advanced algebra is what's most amazing to me. Damn those PlayStation execs for trying to get sales! lmao

[ILostMyMind]

@Highlife
People won't buy a PS5, wait three years playing something else on PC, and then buy "PS exclusives" on PC later. The PS5 will fail like Xbox did.

[DaMist]

This game is 3 years old, ps gamers that were interested already played it, at least this way a new audience gets to experience it as well.

[MajorLazer]

Releasing it eventually is nothing but a good thing. PS gamers get to enjoy exclusivity for a few years and then PC gamers can jump into it, breathing new life into the game through better graphics and mods. Win-win IMO, I'd love for PC gamers to experience other great exclusives too. Bloodborne, GoW etc.

[NarooN]

You fanboys are unbelievable.

WAAHHH I CANT BELIEVE HE'D RELEASE OLD EXCLUSIVE GAMES ON PC WHATS THE POINT OF ME HAVING MY PRECIOUS CONSOLE IF I CANT FEEL UNIQUE AND SPECIAL FOR PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE TO A FACELESS CORPORATION????

Get over it. There's NOTHING negative about games coming to other platforms. It means the studios will gain more sales which means more financial stability and less chances of getting shuttered, and more cash which can go to future game development. And he even says new games won't have simultaneous launches on PC so you fanboys won't feel emasculated by others being able to play the same games as you on different platforms.

[Hungryalpaca]

Anyone who had any interest in playing on ps4 has bought it already. Why not put it on Pc? That’s good business.

[bouzebbal]

I agree with you.. Hulst being top manager of WW studios seems too big of a task for him. Yoshida had much more experience and charisma than he does, and he had that japanese legacy, knowledge and confidence Hulst doesn't have. definitaly a turnover in WW studios, we'll see in the coming 2 years what direction he'll take.
releasing top excusives at the end of console cycle is okay, to generate more sales. Adopting this approach for PS5 exclusives would be a terrible move..will def. hurt the sales of consoles and will make the PS 1st party lose their charm.

[Atom666]

Only unbelievable if you discredited all of the numerous rumors. Too much smoke for it not to be true.

This game will do great on PC. I'm just imagining the mods to a thunderjaw now...

[MadLad]

Mods is going to add so much to an already great experience.

[specialguest]

Ha-Ha! PC master race wins. But it really doesn't matter for us PC gamers in terms of platform wars. That's more like a Sony vs MS thing. Give me a KZ2 & KZ3 port so I can play it at 60fps and potential mods

[Sono421]

At this point i'm 100% sure that dreams will release on PC, but idk how that would work with every PC being different, I mean games run at different FPS between regular PS4 and the Pro...

[Obscure_Observer]

And so it begins

[Kribwalker]

i believe it. been saying just as much for the last few years. Sony and MS are going the same direction, just taking different roads there.

[SyntheticForm]

Nice thing for PC gamers. Those who haven't played this are in for a treat. I loved this world - can't wait til Guerilla reveals their next project which I'm hoping is a sequel.

[yippiechicken]

Same here. I cant even really put my finger on it but I loved this game.

[cd1]

@yippie

For me it was the combat mechanics...and dinobots.

[MoonConquistador]

And this move doesn't mean the sequel will release on PC day 1 either, only the future will tell us that.

Definitely one of this gens highlights so looking forward to a sequel

[lelo2play]

Smart move by Sony. Everyone that wanted the game and has a PS4, already got the game... now they make more money by selling it to PC gamers.

It's good business... make their games exclusive to their console for a couple of years (system seller), then release it on other platforms and gain extra cash.

[beulahland]

@carcarias " who wants to wait years to play them?"
Most PC gamers, for sure.
PC players are PC players, they don't buy consoles, full stop. The PC gaming experience is essential to them. They will wait how long it takes, as they have already waited, genius.
And don't worry: more ex-clusives will come to PC.

[cd1]

Don't be daft, most PC gamers i know have no problem playing on a console when it suits them - having a personal preference is normal. Just because your PCMR mentality wont allow you to enjoy playing on a different platform doesn't mean others can't.

[Edgelordsupreme]

Some games I enjoy playing on my PC, others I enjoy more on a console. Yakuza is on the PC, but I don't want to play it at my desk and while Civ6 might be on the consoles I'd really rather not play that on a console. People aren't all the same, it's absolutely mystifying to me that this community continues to believe everyone who plays games thinks and operates the same way.

[ssj27]

Why it's a reasonable move. Not day one releases. Except for mlb that is a sport game. And dreams should also be on pc next. Asap with crossplay and more controllers options other than dual shovk and move to make creation easier.

And sony should bring photoshop and other editing programs to the ps5 since is fast and strong enough to handle editing photos videos and even games

[ScootaKuH]

Why?

[Asuka]

Nice it'll be fun picking this up again for 21:9 ultrawide support and high refreshrate. The open world is going to look stunning (already did tbh even on my base ps4). Give me a good refresher before HZD2 for PS5.

[impet25]

Yes hope for 32:10 superwide support as well at high refresh would look godly cant wait.

[LegoIsAwesome]

Lets all take a moment to praise the one responsible for this. Hideo Kojima. We bow to what you had done.

Goodjob Hideo. Now go beg FromSoftware, NaughtyDogs and SantaMonica for their engine, create a game base on that, release it on PC. And their studios game will follow on PC. Seriously. Goodjob Hideo Kojima. The savior of PC Master Race

[Computersaysno]

All hail PC. Master of gaming. The one platform to rule them all!

PC is just the king of gaming with even more jewels in that crown. All Microsoft games, all PC exclusive games, emulates Switch amazingly well, and now the very best Sony exclusives start to trickle onto the platform, likely with many more to eventually arrive.

[specialguest]

My Asus ROG Swift 3440x1440 100hz G-sync ultrawide monitor is ready!

[Asuka]

Such a good monitor!

[traumadisaster]

Has this game got support for that resolution? I’ve seen complaints where that resolution does not always work natively. Not being negative, I’m actually interested in in the tech.

[Asuka]

No it does not currently. I do not believe any console game has support for 21:9 or QHD (1440p) as those resolution are not support by TVs and most console owners use TVs.

However when they go to port the game over to PC they usually add those resolutions in and adjust aspect ratio to fit. But you're right usually if ultrawide isn't supported natively it'll look bad but I'm sure they will get it right.

Cut scenes will not be rerendered however. Those will still be stuck in 16:9 I believe. Hope I'm wrong tho

[AspiringProGenji]

Yes baby! I was just getting the itch to replay this again. It will be sweet with fresher graphics and smooth 60+ FPS.

[RazzerRedux]

Yep! It is going to look glorious. I'm looking forward to seeing what else is coming. I'll definitely have to pick up a PS5 since they are understandably committed to making sure the PlayStation experience has something unique you can't get anywhere else. I had dreams of having all games on PC, but that may never happen. No worries.

[GOULDYBOBS]

"PS5 since they are understandably committed to making sure the PlayStation experience has something unique you can't get anywhere else"
Just been sick in my mouth

[RazzerRedux]

You’ve got issues then

[Christopher]

N4G: Who buys a game three years after it was released just because it's on PC?

Also N4G: Can't wait to buy and play this again on my PC!

I think people really don't understand how different they are from one gamer to another.

[RememberThe357]

All these arguments with people who didn't say anything they're be accused of saying. One PS/Xbox fan says something and all fans said it. Makes no sense, but it does get pretty entertaining.

[Christopher]

***One PS/Xbox fan says something and all fans said it.***

I'm not making this about fanboys, but in general there are both types of people making the comments above. And not just a few. People are saying it doesn't matter because it's so long after and then people who played it on PS are saying they want to replay it on PC.

Honestly, one person's justification is just that, their own justification and not to be applied to tons of other people. I just wish more people recognized that. We all game differently even if we play the same games. Some of us even buy the same game for multiple platforms.

[AspiringProGenji]

I have always said that if Sony doesn’t want to share their exclusives, then they have their right to do so and that wouldn’t bother me(and shouldn’t bother anyone either). And the day they decide to put games on PC I would welcome it no question asked.

[rainslacker]

Silly Christopher. You know we all speak with one voice. Not only do I not want to buy this game again, nor will I, I cant wait to play it again. On top of that, I'm upset about something that there is no reason to be upset about, and everyone else is obviously upset, so why aren't you upset? Stop trying to cause a commotion by not being upset

[_LarZen_]

I’ll do that hopefully on the PS5 :)

[Jin_Sakai]

Can’t believe they talk about a first party game coming to PC while the world is waiting for a PS5 reveal.

[GamerRN]

Also MLB The Show announced they will be going multiplatform as well! Very interesting indeed!

[Highlife]

They didn't have a choice with that game.

[GamerRN]

I'm truly looking forward to it

[timotim]

You see they have no problem getting info out there to the masses...so it must be something else then right when it comes to PS5...🤔

[RazzerRedux]

Yeah.....world events more than likely. Coronavirus is having a huge impact globally.

[timotim]

@Razz

Wait...what? So you can put info out there about everything else except your new console because of a virus??? Why didn't the virus stop this info then???

EDIT: So you can't say ANYTHING??? Again, its affecting everything the same...isn't SX also being made in China???

[RazzerRedux]

Because this game isn't being affected by Chinese factory production that may or may not cause this product to be delayed. Seems quite obvious to me that the situation in China has Sony nervous about this fall. Shifting out of the fall could change the entire timeline, including the reveal.

"So you can't say ANYTHING??? Again, its affecting everything the same...isn't SX also being made in China???"

What do you mean I can't say "anything"? Yeah, SX is being made in China? So? MS obviously isn't as worried as Sony or they are willing to gamble more. I don't know. I'm not trying to think of some nefarious reason that Sony isn't announcing. I'm going with the most obvious reason.

[timotim]

@Razz

So SX is also made in China yet Microsoft can still put out what they can...Sony can too, they just choose not to. You are still coming up with reasons why YOU feel they are silent...the fact remains whatever the reason, THEY ARE SILENT. Thats all that matters. If you [Sony] could tell us more info about games coming to PC, you [Sony haha] can tell us more details about your new console. 🤷🏾‍♂️Actually making a fall release has nothing to do with details.

[RazzerRedux]

Yes, obviously they are still silent. Yes, obviously they could put more information out, but have decided not to. Yes, obviously Microsoft and Sony are taking different approaches here. Again, this could simply be a matter of Sony having a more pessimistic view of the situation. And let me be clear, I'm guessing this is a reason why Sony is silent. I don't know it to be true, just as you have no idea why Sony is being silent. Or, at least, you haven't offered any theories. But considering the current world news, I just don't see this as not having an impact.

Regardless, you can't equate revealing information about HZD being digitially released on Steam to a product being manufactured in China where the effects of the virus are being felt the most. One is potentially impacted (PS5) and the other (HZD) is simply not. The news has been filled with speculation that the supply chain and manufacturing will be impacted for months to come.

And delaying the consoles could very well have an impact on console details. Technology changes year round and so does pricing. If consoles are delayed 6 months then you could have different components and price points. It could be Sony is being more fluid with PS5 plans while Microsoft is committed to what they have announced. No idea, really. All just guesses.

So why do you think Sony is being silent?

[timotim]

IDK...but they are. They did admit that they are struggling on price and that it would be up to the competition on where they land on a final price.

[RazzerRedux]

Actually, they did not "admit" that. It was a rumor from anonymous sources. Very well could be the case though.
No idea.

https://www.bloomberg.com/n...

[Edgelordsupreme]

Pretty off topic.

You're just as bad as the Playstation zealots on this site.

[ShadowWolf712]

Tim, you've GOT to step up your concern trolling game.

[darthv72]

This is great for those PC only players who have wanted to play this.

[rainslacker]

It's a really good game. If PC only players haven't experienced it, I would highly recommend it.

[solideagle]

I predict Dreams for PC...of course Sony wont bring all titles because Sony knows hardware sales matter.

[ssj27]

That will be nice if a ps game make sense in pc is dreams pc gamers love creating. And cross play will help playstation users to have more assets and more games to play win win situations. And hopefully they allow others tools for creating if it happens creating a character is so frustrating and hard with dualshock controller abd from what i have seen also for move.

[ILostMyMind]

If this one get it, the others will follow.

[NotanotherReboot]

This is epic news

[chiefJohn117]

YESSSS I played Gow this was the only one left I been wanting to play. Yo that rumor of ps releasing game on PC looking more and more true. Bout time I upgraded my laptop. Is it coming to PSN? I'd sub to it to play this.

[RazzerRedux]

"Spoiler he doesn't have one. PC Fanboys kill me lol. Look at him and Razzer try to justify they highly price super PCs. I paid less than $1000 for the console, games and online service combined this gen meanwhile dude paid $2300 on hardware alone lol. You tell me who won?"
~chiefJohn117 7 Days ago.

"Bout time I upgraded my laptop"
~chiefJohn117 today.

So how much you are going to spend on that gaming laptop, chief?

[chiefJohn117]

$500 max damn sure won't be $2000 🤣 yall 1%ers can have that. My current one lacking in RAM and outta storage. I working on a project so I'm gonna need one but putting it off this gonna give me the motivation. (Unless it come to PSNow I'd end up streaming it to the one I got) Any recommendations for my budget? I was thinking surface laptop

[AnubisG]

I believe that's called a burn, sir.🤣

[extermin8or]

@chiefjohn speaking from experience here; don't bother. Gaming ob laptops is a mess the laptop versions of GPU's are alot less powerful than their desktop counterparts generally same goes for cpu's. Heat is a major issue and will easily kill your laptop. Seriously with that budget just buy a ps5.

[ShadowWolf712]

@extrermin8or
I have a gaming laptop that's actually quite good. The difference is it's an actual GAMING laptop, not a "Gaming" laptop that costs about $600 but can run the heck out of the most casual games and some more intensive stuff capped at mid settings. Those cost you a pretty penny.

@chief
Good luck getting a laptop that can run this well for $500. lol

[RazzerRedux]

"$500 max"
"I was thinking surface laptop"

That ain't gonna cut it either way. Laptops are expensive, dude.

"Any recommendations for my budget?"

lol....yeah, get a PS5.

[chiefJohn117]

I looked them up they around $600-800 I should get around $200 or $150 for selling the one I got. So it's around my Budget. The one I want would be about $150 too much. Maybe I can catch the $800 one on sale in the spring. Damn I said I was gonna get the Galaxy note 20 tho in the fall lol. Too much money on electronics. Laptop for spring, phone for fall console for winter. That's why I'd rather stream it. The Galaxy note phone got a ton of ram and Dex! I could use it for my project. I went way off topic, you got me think bout things lol. PS5 and XSX gonna be too expensive. I can only get 1 plus I don't have nearly as much time to game like I used too

[rainslacker]

HP Omens are fairly decent if you dont need all the bells and whistles. They can usually be found on sale in the $700-900 range for prior year models.

I have one, and while I wouldn't consider it the best gaming laptop, it's good enough for what I do. If I wanted to go all in on PC gaming, I'd go with a desktop rig. I cant really justify the cost of a rig I'd want to spend money on, but may upgrade my GPU at some point. My current desktop is about 9 years old, but outside the GPU, processor technology hasn't changed on an operational level enough to get newer busses

[chiefJohn117]

Thanks for the recommendation Rain. I'm not all in on PC I just want something powerful to run this decently. Last gen when I couldn't afford PS3 at launch I was gaming on a trash PC I literally played games and what I think had to be under 10 frames per second 🤣 I would look to the sky so the frame rate improve to move faster if I had to travel long distances cause the game moved in slow motion lol. I played under those conditions so 30fps is good enough for me to play this 1 specific game. I'll leave the luxury gaming experience to console. Laptop is for work and rare gaming occasions such as this.

[chiefJohn117]

Burn????? How so? A requote of my post of me saying PC fanboys are crazy for spending $2000 on PC hardware? My post still stand. I WILL NEVER SPEND $2000 ON A PC OR 1 specific Electronic* for that matter.....well the way phone prices are looking that part might now hold up. But at least its a payment plan. 😆
(* Now of If I made 2x+ the income I may get a $2000 tv) I'm a console fanboy and I'm not even spending $2000 on console that's crazy to me. Having the best graphics and best frame rate is not worth that much money especially when the tech is gonna be outdated in just a few years

[Stanjara]

Dude, surface laptop and omen?
Upgrading a laptop?
OMG.

[Edgelordsupreme]

Are you touched in the head? What a bunch of word vomit.

[Sitdown]

Ohh, so now it's a good thing N4G? The hypocrites. Another reason to just enjoy gaming, and not be all in one company if you don't work for them or have stocks or other company interest.

[spicelicka]

This is great news for gamers who don't have a pole up their your know what. It's pretty obvious by now that this place is full of blind Sony fanboys among reasonable fans. Everything remotely against Sony or for Xbox will get blind disagrees, as you will see with both yours and my comment.

I love my PS4 and my XB1 but the morons here force me to defend Xbox just because I like to spite them.

[jaymacx]

I was thinking the same thing. The difference here is this game is coming 3 years later vs Play Anywhere being released the same day. Also the difference is you need to buy the game twice if you want it on both vs only buying it once with Play Anywhere.

[spicelicka]

I mean that's true but Play anywhere is even more consumer friendly then.

[AspiringProGenji]

It is a good thing that they are still committed to their brand and not losing its appeal by bringing every exclusive to PC. Releasing one game here and there is Ok to bring more people to PlayStation

Like, barely anything has changed. What are you moaning about?

[Neonridr]

we don't know what sort of precedent this sets moving forward. Sure it's one game now.. then it might be another, and another. And are we always assuming that it will only be older games? What happens if the game releases at the same time on PC? Does it change then? Sure it's too early to tell, but one can definitely see the slippery slope should Sony decide to go down that path.

[AspiringProGenji]

From the quote, it looks this won’t change anytime soon, especially if if their consoles keep selling,

[RememberThe357]

Why do you think the people who are cheering this are the same people who spoke against it?

[ILostMyMind]

Of course it's a good thing. You don't have to buy a PlayStation or Xbox to play its games, just a good PC. Obviously, this is terrible for console sales.

[TheGamez100]

Well holy crap. 60fps horizen. Really makes you wonder what other ps 1st party will also arrive on pc. This will be good for sony too as itll bring more profits to them and as long as it's a long wait after a playstation release.

[MadLad]

With Last of Us 2 right around the corner, imagine the sort of sales the original would get with a brand new audience.

[carcarias]

Good point!

They should have released the remastered version late last year or something. It's not like doing that would damage the PS brand, what with it being so long after the original's release.

[strayanalog]

Not too shocking considering the direction the industry is going. Definitely a plus for both PC players and Sony.

[ILostMyMind]

Glad you said Sony, not PlayStation.

[extermin8or]

Well it's a plus for playstation aswell sony make most of their money on games and playstation doesn't have to just be a physical platform it could easily be a service instead. Look at playation now. In all likelihood what we will see is next gen sequels exclusive to ps5 till roughly the end of the generation and last gen sone playstation titles releasing on pc years after their ps releases and sales dried up. It's a win for both and provides more money for Dev's to create games for ps5 and beyond.

[ShadowWolf712]

Seeing people cheerlead the idea of service-based gaming makes me sick to my stomach.

[timotim]

"We're very committed to dedicated hardware, as we were before," he stated. "We're gonna continue to do that. And we're very committed to quality exclusives. And to strong narrative-driven, single-player games.

"At the same time, we're going to be very open to experimentation, to new ideas. Just trying things out to see what works. I think that's also very much part of the DNA of Worldwide Studios."

WOW. Very interesting for sure. Wonder where this game will land...Steam? Epic? Mac? Linux? I know Windows 10 is a sure bet. Sony doing a lot of things some gamers said would never happen.

[Neonridr]

Steam, already has a page up now.

[ShadowWolf712]

What is with your obsession with "Windows 10" as if it's relevant?

[timotim]

Not sure I follow. For starters its a platform this game will be released on and the very PC OS I'm using. I guess its relevant to the news story?

[ShadowWolf712]

It's not. The OS of a computer is not relevant to the story at all. The manufacturer of said OS sees ZERO benefit from it being present on that platform or not.

You have a VERY weird fanboy streak when it comes to MS, my guy.

[Cyb3r]

It is an old game at this stage and wont be making much more money on PS4 especially at the reduced price it is on the console so it makes sense that they would release it on PC

[Elda]

That's exactly why they're doing it.

[cocadaking]

Don't cry about your ex-clusives bro

[Cyb3r]

I honestly couldnt care less I think its a good idea if it helps the company why not as long as they dont abandon consoles Im all for it

[ILostMyMind]

@richierich
As long as people buy their consoles, they will not abandon it. The question is why buy their console now?

[Edgelordsupreme]

@ILostMyMind

You don't want to spend $1000+ USD on a PC? People who buy bare minimum PC's with 5500 XT's/ GTX 1650's etc are people setting themselves up for disappointment or like playing games at reduced settings and 1080p. There will always be a market for consoles or at least until something as simple takes its place and PC gaming is never going to be that.

[Butters360]

This is quite the double edged sword. There's logic behind it, but I will definitely not be surprised to see both Naughty Dog and SuckerPunch social media accounts get HOUNDED in the replies with "Coming to PC when?"

[MadLad]

To be fair, with Last of Us 2 about to release, bringing the original 2 PC could only help the series.

[badz149]

help the series? yeah...because the last one didn't sell like 20mil units on PS3 and PS4!

[MadLad]

Would selling a few million more not be a good thing?

[AspiringProGenji]

It is already happening. Every post from any Sony dev is getting flooded with memes and “timed exclusive” or “PC when”.

[Butters360]

I knew this would happen.

[ILostMyMind]

And, if they are honest, they will give a date for that.

[Father__Merrin]

I suppose they can milk extra sales years after orig release. But if they start releasing all first party games on pc there would be less reason to own a Ps5 especially for more senior gamers

Just Read article he says it doesn't mean every game will come to pc. They will possibly release games like this on pc then sequel Ps5 only

[Majin-vegeta]

He mentions.Not every gane will release on PC.

[ThinkThink]

Can you imagine how much money Sony could make if they opened up their older catalog of games to PC?

[RememberThe357]

They make more money from royalties on their console than they do on their own software sales. It's a delicate balance for sure.

[Father__Merrin]

Yes just read that. Possibly select titles could be ported a good way for extra sales and extra console sales, eg if infamous came out on pc then later in year an infamous sequel hits Ps5 that's something that would be in line with what Herman says experiments

[badz149]

@ThinkThink

how was Gears 5 selling? arguably one of MS's biggest IP now released on PC but a dud sales wise. not even top 20 in NA

[ThinkThink]

Even if they end up releasing 1st party games, its effect on hardware sales would be so small, that the amount of money made from the PC software would more than justify it. Sony is starting to realize this. If you prefer gaming on pc, a console isn't going to sway most people. Same goes the other way. Console games will always prefer consoles over PC.

[rainslacker]

It will probably have the same effect on PS console sales that MS doing it had on x1 sales. Which is to say not much. And MS was releasing day and date to the console, which is even less inventive for their console.

But, in the real world, the two markets dont overlap that much. You have pc gamers and console gamers who play on the other, and their decision to do so isnt always based on exclsuive.

If the impact of this is a negative effect on the console, and the company wants to remain in the console business, theyll reevaluate. Hulst stated they're experimenting, so if it works out for them, we may see more games. If it doesnt, or the petty gamers make it more of an annoyance for sony than sony fan boys made it for MS doing it, then it could mean they say screw it, and PC gamers can have a good reason to be annoyed by the console war.

In the mean time, they can play the games if they want, and I hope they enjoy them. I think Sony has had some of the best games this gen, and horizon on a super rig sounds pretty appealing. I wont invest in a super rig, but our computers at work are better than anything commercially available, so I'm looking forward to seeing this game on them. If I want to play it again though, I'll just boot up my trusty ps4

[ocelot07]

I would say I would double dip and try this on PC. But I might as well just wait for it to be updated on the PS5.

[cocadaking]

So ps5 is gonna upgrade ps4 games?

[RememberThe357]

That's the rumor

[ocelot07]

It's been rumoured and it makes sense to do it. Both PS4 and ps5 use the same architecture. It's confirmed PS4 games work on ps5. So there shouldn't be any reason why they couldn't release a performance patch for some games.

Just imagine when ever Sony reveal the ps5 fully and they say on launch day we are going to have these exclusives but also have ps5 patches for the likes of Horizon, last of us 2, spider man, god of war, gran turismo that would be amazing.

[rainslacker]

Horizon would be a good showcase game for BC enhancements. The game engine is pretty adaptable, and horizon has a wide variety of environments and lighting effects to show off.

Not sure if they'd do a full on cross gen/remaster for it, but maybe it wouldn't be hard if they have the PC version in place. Probably just be a tuned up executable, a couple new LODs which likely exist in the pc version, and a texture pack based on what I've seen of the engine.

[TheOptimist]

I just want Bloodborne on PC and nothing else. WOuld love to play some true Lovecraftian shit in 60+ fps.

[TheGamez100]

Oh god bloodborne!!!

[MadLad]

That would move so many copies on PC lol.

[GrizToof]

I am very happy for PC gamers that will get a chance to play this really good game. I dont really play on PC much anymore but that doesn't matter. The more platforms good games go to the better it is for gamers. Especially single player games, the more this sells the more developers are inclined to make similar games.

[--bienio--]

What game we can compare HZD? Maybe The Witcher?

[rainslacker]

Thatd probably be the closest comparison. Maybe RDR2, but not in scope. Horizon has a lot more variety to their art style than both those other games though. Ita a mesh of tribal environment and nature, deceped modern day architecture with a few modern things existing in the world, and futuristic technology all seamlessly blending todether. The fact it all comes together so nicely, with amazing lighting and particle effects and animations is a testament to the developer...who I feel is often overlooked when talking about the most talented devs out there.

[TheOptimist]

Closest comparison would be Assassin's Creed Origins or Odyssey.

Witcher 3 is a proper RPG, HZD is just a ubisoft game clone with much more polish.

[outsider1624]

Ok so when are the other games coming for pc? Might as well get a gaming pc.

[ThinkThink]

Well, there's a trade off that you have to consider here. 1) You're going to have to wait a little as it will launch on PS5 first and 2) PS5 could be $399-499 while a gaming PC is ... well, I have no idea how much a gaming PC is but I'm sure it has got to be at LEAST double that.

[outsider1624]

i was just kidding.
But yeah, It is double of that. The difference is you can more with a pc. I have a ps4 and pc right now (low-medium) for old games.

[Battlestar23]

Now bring it to Xbox along with Spiderman and Bloodborne.

[ThinkThink]

That doesn't make any business sense.

[Battlestar23]

Yes it does it means more money.

[AnubisG]

Why? What difference does it make now? Why is it different to release it on Xbox than on PC? It's going to a different competing platform either way that will give people a chance to play a game that used to be on Playstation on their prefered platform and because of that, Sony will lose on console sales.

[badz149]

more money for Sony if xbox only gamers go out and buy a PS4 and play those games there

[Atticus_finch]

Get a better console.

[Battlestar23]

Getting one it's called Xbox Series X good luck with your under powered PS5.

[Atticus_finch]

Cool story bro. Imma let you keep begging for ports. I'm too busy with all the great exclusives coming out for my PS4. 😘

[AAWELLS09]

I suppose there's even less of a reason to own a Playstation now that the once "exclusives" are coming to another platform. I'll just pick them up for my PC.

[moriarty1889]

pretty much.

[ocelot07]

Yer you can say that. The reason I own a PlayStation is because of the exclusives. If Sony go the rout of releasing some of there first party titles on pc after a few years of it being on PlayStation. Then that's ok by me as I won't want to wait ages to play a game when I can just buy it on PlayStation

However, If they start releasing first party titles on pc on the same day as the PlayStation version then there is no point in me owning a PlayStation. This is the very reason I don't own a Xbox and why the Xbox as a platform is dead to me.

[timotim]

Even if its just months I think its worth the wait. How long did it take Death Stranding to go to PC? It was announced as coming to PC 2 weeks before it hit PS4. How many PS gamers went out and bought an Xbox One while waiting for Rise of the Tomb Raider? Waiting is not an issue, especially on a platform that already has tons of other games to play...

[ocelot07]

When it comes to Sony first party I don't like waiting 6 months is to long for me.

[AnubisG]

Exclusives are the single and bigest reason why people buy a Playstation. If sony takes that away to make a quick buck, than all they will do is kill their own console business.

[rainslacker]

Seems like the argument would be true for both companies, so I'm not sure the xbox fan boys are making as strong an argument as they think they are.

There's also the fact that, once again, a lot of assumption is going around that this is equivalent to what MS is doing. Doesnt matter that Sony has specifically stated the exact opposite of MS commitment to release all games going forward on PC. Sony even specifically said they're testing the waters.

So, if people want to wait it out, no big deal. But the argument about not needing a console now because a game is on PC is just as stupid now as it was when applied to MS games.

All I see is people getting worked up about what is akin to these companies becoming 3rd party publishers, who also happen to own a console. No 3rd party publisher comes close to getting this much attention for their games, or where they release them, unless they withhold them from some platform.

[AnubisG]

This is the exact mentallity that many people will have now. Why buy a PS5?

Sony, the idiots just damaged their own brand.

[ocelot07]

But they are old games. I can see your point if they release the last of us 2 on PC the same time as the PS5 version but they are not. They are going to be making money off a 3 year old game. The game probably does not sell much anymore on PS4 so why not make extra cash to put towards Horizon 2 on the PS5. Keep it PS5 exclusive for a few years then release it to make more money from the PC players?

[XabiDaChosenOne]

Slowly but surely console gaming coming to an end.

[Kashima]

PC is the future.

[starchild]

I don't think that's true. I love the PC, but the fact is, there is still a massive market for consoles. They tend to be cheaper up front and easier to use. Some people just prefer them and I don't see that changing any time soon.

[Battlestar23]

Can't wait to play The Last of Us 2 on PC. Power to us gamers.

[Donnie81]

All Sony games are coming to pc. Nothing wrong with that I’ll just play all Sony games on my super powerful rig.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

"But PlayStation committed to dedicated consoles"
Yea, for now.

[StormLegend]

Damn I guess I'll wait on buying a PS5 then. I can just play everything on PC. When is GOW, TLOU2 and so on coming?

[Butters360]

This is EXACTLY what Sony and PlayStation are opening themselves up to.

[carcarias]

Yeah, I see what you mean. It'll all depend on how many people are willing to wait and how long for.

For example, how many people who wanted to play Death Stranding decided to wait for the PC release? I did (because I wasn't that excited by it) but my brother didn't. He was day one and taking time off work for it.

Also, how many who have waited would still do so if the release was another year or two away?

It'd be interesting to know those numbers. I think Sony will take things slowly.

[rainslacker]

And if enough people feel the same way, theyll not release games on PC.

[ReadyPlayer22]

Microsoft makes millions off from releasing decade old Halo games onto PC. The signs were obvious, Jim Ryan said so and PC gamers buy a lot of games.

[carcarias]

Which is funny considering how some companies seemingly treat PC gamers like dirt because of, gasp!, piracy.

[Butters360]

Taken to the extreme and since this is the FIRST First Party AAA PlayStation Exclusive coming to PC, why don't we just go ahead and dissolve PlayStation and have Worldwide Studios develop strictly for PC?

[starchild]

Why would they? Most of the mainstream prefers to game on consoles for their ease of use and cheaper up front cost.

[moriarty1889]

Playstation losing their exclusives just like xbox.......wtf is the point of having a console when its games are put on pc and then look and run even better? makes the consoles pointless. I am very surprised Sony is doing this stupid shit. They are selling out to pc just like ms. so now sonys games are multiplat just like xbox games.....cant deny that. Ms took alot of shit from people about having no exclusives and no reason to own an xbox so now the same applies to playstation and sony. same shit different color.

[Majin-vegeta]

1.Not every Sony game will be on PC.
2.They won't have same day release like Xbox.

[Elda]

Pretty much what Hulst stated.

[aconnellan]

So first it was bad if console exclusives released on PC at all. But now it’s only bad if they launch same time as console.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the dedicated PC crowd, it’s that they’re generally stubborn and won’t care about waiting, especially for single player games where it’s not like the servers will dry up if they wait too long

[MadLad]

*grabs chair and popcorn*

[spambot0815]

i call this a kinda bait and switch try with the intention to sell some extra ps5's to a pc-only gamerbase by giving them horizon 1 on their system of choice yet keeping horizon 2 ps5 exclusive for the forseeable future. kinda like: "you like part one? go buy a ps5 to play part 2."

[moriarty1889]

nah no bait and switch they just are doing what xbox has been criticized so much for. putting their games on pc and making more money. it will continue and will lead to more sony games becoming multiplat as it is just to much money for sony to be made for them to not do it and remain in a closed ecosystem. ALOT HAS CHANGED since Ryan took over is all i can say. Im sure Layden didnt want this to happen but he is gone now. gonna be alot of people upset who laughed about ms putting their games on pc. Karma is a bitch sometimes.

[spambot0815]

that more money argument goes down the drain if they lose out on console sales due to complete none exclusivity. but who knows, maybe they switch from consoles to vr headsets in the upcoming years and make the playstation store and psnow avaliable anywhere... have to wait for the ps5/psvr2 presentation to make a more educated guess about their 2020-2030 plans.

[Elda]

The difference is their only putting a exclusive here & there on PC years later while MS puts games on PC day one.

[Elda]

That's what he basically stated. He stated..Putting the game on PC to see what PC gamers were missing.

[shiva1]

PC: oooh my god its HZD.
PS4: ive had it for 3 yrs
PC: graphics are amazing at 60fps
PS4: ya its been there since 3yrs but 30fps
PS5: when i come out i will come out with HZD2
XSX: i come with all games my ancestors had.
PC: Msg me when its on PC. Ive lot to cover anyway.
PS4: i will be dead by then and sad i wont have Hzd2.
Xbox one: welcome to reality.
PS4: you fool get some games first
Switch: what you guys are on about?
Stadia: heck im missing everything
Xcloud: ive nothing to comment right now.
Patcher: i guessed it back in 2000
Phil: XSX will be able to Hold games as well as your phone calls
Yoshida: On pS5 you share games Like this too...
PC: whatever guys. Im out of this group...im busy till 2029
Myself: Scared of corona virus and thinking this is how the world ends and not by WW3 or global warming.

[AmUnRa]

O my God. Sony better cancel the PS5 now, cous when PS exclusieve games comming to PC nobody will buy a Sony console anymore...Sony is doomed..doomed i tell you.
Sony will not survive, this stupid decision is the downfall of Sony. More than 100 million people will not buy a Sony console ever. Al the console gamers now wil buy a PC, ore wil upgrade theyr rigs and will play all theyr console games (including Xbox games) on PC.
I knew it this is the last great console generation...Console gaming is dead, dead i tell you😉

[carcarias]

"More than 100 million people will not buy a Sony console ever."

Haha, yeah, the upset does seem pretty silly when you point out a statistic like that.

[AmUnRa]

You do know what irony is?

[carcarias]

@AmUnRa

Lol, what?

I'm not having a go at you mate, I'm agreeing with your sarcasm!

And yeah, it is sarcasm so I don't think you are in a position to talk about whether someone understands irony, heh. Not to mention that not having understood that I was agreeing with you in the first place lends to the notion that reading comprehension obviously isn't your forte.....but nevermind :)

I was simply, and incredibly obviously even though it seemingly went straight over your head, saying that of course it's silly to make out this news is the beginning of Sony's decline. They've sold a crap ton of Playstations and have a huge, loyal fanbase. Jeeze.

Relax friend, I'll never mention that I agree with you again if that makes you happy - I'll even change my upvote to a disagree if it pleases you! ;)

[Xavi4K]

Said that while ago no one believed me...looking forward to playing this as well as all Ps5 games on my Pc in full glory.

[Casepb]

Wonder how hard it will be to push this game to 144fps at 1440p? I was never really the biggest fan of the game, but it looks great. I would be very interested to see how much better it would look at a very high refresh rate.

[kranker]

Bloodborne next please...

[carcarias]

You know what? Bloodbourne is actually a great title to come to PC as the demanding gameplay would feel even better and more responsive at 60+ fps.

[kranker]

Couldn't agree more. I'd love to play it at 60fps or higher.

[BioShockGX]

Sony's reputation : GONE

[AnotherGamer]

How exactly? They brand out and more people will play their games.

[GamesAsAService]

This is a good start. Let's get concurrent releases in the near future.

[Puty]

What about "only on playstation" on the cover? Can we sue them for misleading info? T_T

[Skuletor]

My copy of Yakuza 0 says the same thing

[shiva1]

Ya You both put that cd In your pc or xbox and see if that helps your understanding before you think of suing them.

[Gaming4Life1981]

Good news for pc only players, horizon zero dawn is great and I cant wait for part 2.

[timotim]

Also think its good for Xbox/Nintendo gamers that don't own a PS as well. We can just play it on our PC instead.

[Gaming4Life1981]

That's true and I dont know why I didnt mention that lol.

[throne]

clearly stated not all games will release on PC and not day and date like xbox....but I guess people only believe what they want to believe

[Skuletor]

Provided you have a PC capable of running it

[timotim]

@Throne

"At the same time, we're going to be very open to experimentation, to new ideas. Just trying things out to see what works. I think that's also very much part of the DNA of Worldwide Studios."

[Skuletor]

I'm talking about Xbox/Nintendo users in general

[Elda]

There's nothing wrong with first party exclusives going to PC 3 years or so after it was released solely on a console especially knowing most PS4 gamers played the game already. The game can hopefully recoup more money & as Hulst stated it's doing this to see if PC players realize what they're missing & buy a PS console to play PS exclusives much earlier when released instead of waiting years. Horizon is still a PS4 console exclusive it can't be played on the Switch or an XBO console.

[cocadaking]

Please Bloodborne, be next

[XxINFERNUSxX]

The way it's meant to be played, no 30 or 60fps crap there. I'm sure it will go well over 60fps on PC with everything on ultra or whatever the max settings are on PC. 👍

[AnotherGamer]

Not every game has to be 60 fps.

[starchild]

No, but they're much better at high framerates.

[Felix_Argyle_Catbro]

Yes they do. 60fps should be the minimum acceptable frame rate.

[cemelc]

Bye bye my ps5, no point if i can get it on pc, dont have problem waiting

[Lexreborn2]

This is smart, I remember in a previous interview Sony said all exclusives go multi platform eventually. So, why not let their previous gen titles hit PC going forward gaining more interest to players as the next gen hits. PC players will be happy to get the older game custom but be hugely tempted by the newer version that they would want to continue on.

And, if you have enough patience to wait it’s no harm no foul.

[Vx_]

Sony games on pc will be the most epic. I think this is a smart move from Sony. Releasing games after the sales died on the console. Can be months or years... I think it is a good and smart strategy.

[carcarias]

Great news. I've never thought of PC as being a direct competitor with consoles anyway, especially if the games come out 3-5 years after they've already been out on PS. Lots of upset Sony fans on Twitter (but then again that's what Twitter is all about) but I can't understand their mentality.

Oh, and before someone mentions that Death Stranding is coming out less than a year after release, that's probably because Kojima had planned on a PC release from the get go - as was talked about shortly after the founding of Kojima Productions.

[Skuletor]

Now do Bloodborne

[Blu3_Berry]

Whoa, this is so freaking amazing. The rumors were true. My god this opens up so many possibilities. I loved HZD and now its actually coming to pc? Holy sh*t. I have to preorder this now. This game is going to be so amazing at 60 fps+. This completely made my day. Hell this makes up for any PS5 lack of news.

[ElementX]

I'm excited to play HZD again. Consoles aren't going anywhere, I will buy both Series X and PS5 next gen, along with a new TV. There are a lot of PC gamers who don't want a console and vice versa.

[Lon3wolf]

Just wait until Dreams arrives on PC.....................

[FernDiggidy]

Fanboys are going to pop an artery. Long live gaming.

[Darkstorm6111]

Nude Aloy mods.
HERE IT COMES!

[Majin-vegeta]

Lol

[Kashima]

Even better! play as 2B in hzd.

[moriarty1889]

new expansion if that mod goes thru bro........Frozen nipples in the Frozen Wilds......exclusive to PC.

[AnotherGamer]

Hey, the more people play this awesome game the better. Its a smart move given the ps4 cycle era is gonna end and the ps5 will hopefully begin soon.

[BrainSyphoned]

Launch day title confirmed. Give them a taste and then dangle the next bite a few inches out of reach.

[Veneno]

Weird, weird move. I wonder what their vision is for this. This means the superior version of every Sony game will be on PC. Hopefully this means cross buy with PC versions.

[--bienio--]

Yes! 😉 is that game really good?

[Xx_Pistol_xX]

I knew things would change when they moved PS to America.

[Saijahn]

The age of exclusives is coming to an end.

[isarai]

Welp, on one hand this lessens the reason for me to own a Playstation console if all PS 1st party games start doing this. On the other hand based on the response it seems Day1 releases of 1st party on PC still seems out of the question. I aint waiting 3 years to play the next Horizon or Spider-man, so they'll still get my purchase for now

[BillyG0AT]

"Exclusive"

The damage control is strong today.

[Kashima]

I was saving money for PS5...i guess i'll spend it to upgrade my PC.

[PMind]

Fantastic news. I've been wanting to play this since it debuted.

[Tedakin]

On PC! Not Exclusive!...

:P

[one2thr]

From a strategic point of view, this is a plus for everyone.

PC gamers get to enjoy a great title.
Sony gets to profit off a 3 year old title.
This will hopefully alleviate the lose on each PS5 system sold, its still a Sony title.

What does it ultimately cost, to host digital content?

[WelkinCole]

This is a big mistake. Same mistake MS made this gen and it cost them a lot.

[Tedakin]

They sold way more copies of their games. How is that a mistake? Sony and MS make way more off games than consoles. Sony wouldn't be doing this if it was going to lose them money.

[TheHan]

That’s really awesome to read! Though I see this happening with a lot of Console exclusives. Xbox and PlayStation May still call said games exclusive but only console exclusive sadly. Most of them are going to end up on PC. I’ve been noticing this a lot. In the mean time the only Gaming company that still means “exclusivity” Is Nintendo’s games. I haven’t heard of or seen them being released on other devices such as PC, even mobile games. Sadly this is gonna be sad for console gamers on Xbox and PS. 😔

[boing1]

So I guess PS5 support is a given.

[iplay1up2]

Here is why Sony is doing it. Horizon Zero Dawn is a fantastic game. Sony is probably launching Zero Dawn 2, in the PS5 launch window. If enough PC gamers like the game enough, they might pick up a PS5. They get additional revenue from the PC port of a 3 year old game, and some may buy a PS5 for 2.

[mandingo]

Ouch that hurts

[AnubisG]

Not a good precendent to set.

[RaidenBlack]

Next -> MGS4 releases for PC, This Fall.

[andydalum]

It finally comes full circle. People on this site have bashed Xbox for so long for doing this with one claim or another. The fact is PC has a giant market that will never own a console and it would be stupid for any publisher to ignore that market. As long as a company is putting out quality product on the console you prefer to play on whats the harm. The fact is NOT EVERYONE LIKES GAMING ON PC so stop acting like PC ports are going to kill off consoles.

[SegaGamer]

I love it. The one I want the most though is Persona 5.

[Thundercat77]

The important part

"And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn’t necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don’t have plans for day and date [PC releases], and we remain 100% committed to dedicated hardware.” 

Playstation first party games are not going day 1 to PC.

[TeamIcoFan]

I'll definitely double dip for this!

[Silly gameAr]

Enjoy.

[CatCouch]

Nice! I've moved most of my gaming to PC and I never finished Horizon on PS4. I'll definitely pick this up!

[Cmoney007]

Options:

1. Buy the game on PS4.

2. Buy it on PC.

3. Buy the game on both.

It is always great to have options.

[BioShockGX]

I never understood why people buy the same game twice

[FanboysKiller]

The Last of Us Part 2 next.

[FanboysKiller]

Lord Gaben answers our prayers.

[UnbreakableAlex]

Boring game anyway. The story sucks and the world is pretty generic.

[GOULDYBOBS]

PC gaming just gets better

[no_more_heroes]

I've never understood why this kind of thing has always been seen as a problem. For someone who doesn't have a gaming pc and doesn't care to spend the kind of money and effort needed to build one that gives them a head-and-shoulders better graphical experience than a console, the game is still an exclusive as far as they're concerned.

For those that put in the money and effort to build their gaming rigs (and therefore obviously prefer that experience), they're not forced into needing to buy a machine that will give them what they see as an inferior experience of that same game.

As for having to wait for a game to release on their platform of choice, that's never been a problem for anyone before. Don't see that changing now.

Played in my PS4 pro. No need to play again. Thanks.

[Xavi4K]

I wonder if we will see it in the future on xbox...I mean they will be putting it on Pc so why not xbox?

[LunaMoona]

Here come the nude mods

RIP SONY, RIP PLAYSTATION. I was a PlayStation loyalist since the PS1, but after this. I am no longer buying a PS5 nor any of their exclusives. FF7 Remake, The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghosts of Tsushima will be my LAST days as a PlayStation fan. It's over folks. SONY has officially betrayed their own fanbase. I'll be building my $3,500+ PC which will include the RTX3080Ti and Intel's next gen top end CPU. From this day forth, PlayStation 4 AND 5 games are NO longer exclusives. They are TIMED exclusives. Rather it's 1 year, 2 years or 3 years.

[moriarty1889]

very true. they are indeed timed exclusives just like xbox games. Sony getting real greedy even though the fans supported their consoles so much. I guess its never enough money for these companies.

[Kumakai]

now maybe the shit talking will chill about 75%

[rataranian]

Literally no point in consoles anymore. Everything from now on is coming to pc. Except Nintendo of coarse.

[PCgamer98]

Damn this game already looks really beautiful even on the base ps4 alone, I can't imagine how even more beautiful this game would be on ultra settings on pc. Also 60fps is another plus.

[TechnoGoat]

Sweet!! more people get to experience this amazing game!

[Youngindy21]

I feel like you'll need a pretty powerful PC to get the most out of this game. That being said, I beat both the campaign and DLC and it's a great game.

[masterfox]

PC gamers are in for a treat.

[Exvalos]

I really hope this doesn't devalue the console itself as it has done to the xbox. While am a console gamer for life, there is an argument to be had if somebody where to say "Why buy a 500 or 600.00 console when I can buy a more powerfull pc?"

[AK91]

Welp guess Ninty is the only way to go for true exclusives.

[Plagasx]

Good. The definitive edition, glad I never played it, can't wait. Now Bloodborne next please.

[ILostMyMind]

RIP, PlayStation 5. It could have been a good console. 😥

[TengHu]

You guys are gonna fuckin love this game!

[DaniMacYo]

First mod will be a nude mod they can’t help themselves. 🤣

[NeoGamer232]

Glad PC gamers can experience this game. Really good game!

[Stanjara]

Hideo made the engine run on a PC, and Hulst said to himself that's not a bad idea.

I don't like Pc.
For all of you 60fps, what is Ps5 BC for?

[UltimateRacer]

Was hoping the rumour wasn’t true, talk about devaluing the PlayStation Brand. Poor move Sony. Hopefully no more first party titles end up on PC because it really will hurt the PS5.

[SamTheGamer]

I think it's a marketing strategy to make non PS gamers to attract towards PS exclusive games, So after releasing PS5 many non PS gamers will buy the console. If so, then this is a good strategy.

[Tyrant 8 RDFL]

I like the move by Sony. Why not occur more profits on your titles? Release it on your console. Get all the sales you can. When you feel you maximized your profits. Then move it on to PC to gather more profits. Do you know how much more money they can get by releasing the exclusive titles onto other platforms? OMG it would be crazy.

[Minute Man 721]

Is it still an exclusive???

[Psychotica]

This is great, would love to see Bloodborne come to the PC as well..

[traumadisaster]

This is interesting. I held off on ps4 due to my backlog and wanted to jump to ps5 day 1. Now with me already going to buy quantum dreams games, and the other ps4 exclusives I may have to reconsider day one.

I’ll eventually have to have it for drake, last of us and gow but can I slide that out to the next iteration if ps5.

[Felix_Argyle_Catbro]

Been meaning to buy this many times now, thank you for this!!

[FanboyPolice]

I'm hyped to be able to replay this amazing experience on PC. I totally loved it on ps4 and will love it more on PC.
