In page 43 of the recent Sony corporate report, you can find this sentence:
"We will explore expanding our 1st party titles to the PC platform, in order to promote further growth in our profitability."
So it seems like the speculations this last couple of months regarding God Of War, Bloodborne etc. were not without merit after all. Also probably HZD sold pretty well on PC.
Nice, I guess they finally figured out that the PC isn't really competing with a console, and anyone that wants to play on the couch will still buy a console.
Less exclusives around is always a win for the consumer, but it would advisable to put more effort into the various porting jobs. Quality of the games aside, the two Peestation ex-exclusives that I've played this year (Detroit and HZD) didn't exactly feel like they received enough care for the PC market.
There are some PS4 games I would not mind to see on PC but the only one I really think I would want the most is Spider-Man since they seem to have the exclusive rights to the character for solo games and it was always fun just swinging about the city in all the past games on PC doing the random crime stopper missions or collectible things. Maybe when they are getting ready to release the Miles Morales game they might think a PC version of the first game might entice people to buy a PS5 to try the spin off but like anything only time will tell what becomes of this info.

Given the fact that Sony bought EGS shares, I have my doubts that these games won't still be exclusive.
It would make sense to release them on PC (unless they don't like more money) and at the same time do it in a postponed time matter (even though I hate the bejeezus out of it). Since then they'll get double dippers and maybe some people interested in buying a console for sequels because their inner patience bear isn't stronk enough.
That being said... if they cheap out on ports the (good) money making won't last long.
And even if its for games I don't care about like Horizon Zero Dawn I'd still be glad to see less platform exclusives in the world.
well duh ... there has been too much whisper about it lately.
Both DS adn HZD did well on PC , even the Quantic Dream stuff.
BB ... is pretty much all but officially confirmed at this point , Balrog has been teasing Dad of Boi for quite some time too. There has been also quite a bunch of "nvidia ish" job searches at Naughty Dog lately so would be surprised to see some Uncharteds or TLOUs and insomniac pretty much knows PC too, Euda doing project with TimEpic so i can see TLG going too.
... iirc they even hinted stuff like Dreams or that baseball game posibly going ultiplatform.
This move is just to get you to want to buy a PS5 as it will end up being a PS4 game that is about to get a PS5 sequel so it gets that new PC money for those that did not own it before and the potential new money for the PS5 console and game from those that want to play the newest game in the series and see how the rest of the story unfolds. It will be interesting to see if they ever release a game on PC less then a year after its console release as all the games people are speculating as real possibilities are all 2+ years old.
This will be a sloppy second situation and a half. Don't ever expect to get games at the same time as PS. Maybe years down the line if ever for certain games.
seems like they just bouth the studio that has been doing Eidos ports for last decade
