Interesting strategy and one that I don't think will affect the brand. You put out a game on PC over three years after the console game, right as potential sequels are getting off the ground, you've potentially a new audience there.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition launching on Steam this Summer

Alright. Now get some GOOD regional pricing. MS actually does good with that for its games on Steam. Sony, from what I've seen with Death Stranding on the other hand...
Not happening at this juncture, sure. But if Horizon and other belated ports sell well, then that's incontrovertible evidence for Sony that there is absolutely a sizeable audience on PC who either don't want to or can't commit to PlayStation as a gaming platform, and at that point day-and-date releases become the natural next step. I'd say we're at least a couple of years removed from that, however.

Makes sense. Exclusives kind of stop being system sellers after a year or two. Sales on PS4 have probably plateaued, while on PC the game will find a brand new audience
Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Wouldn't mind waiting for 2-3 years to play PS exclusive on PC

Sounds like he's using Horizon as crack. The first hit for free, next hit, you gotta pay up.
I think they're more interested in selling PlayStation consoles with new exclusives.
What level GPU do we think it would take to render this game at native 4k? With the absence of checkerboard at the driver level for PC GPUs I wonder if native 4k performance will match PS4 on an older GTX980, for example.
I guess, they could include checkerboard in the game itself though.

Awesome to see! Played it for a little on PS4 before selling the console. Looking forward to diving in again.
Yeah, that was my immediate thought reading that.

Good it's getting a PC release though. I won't double-dip, but I should really get around to playing the expansion for this.
It would certainly grab me, that's for sure.
Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the best games I've ever played but truly, this is but one step closer oh sweet elder gods
Death Stranding on PC is 505 Games.
Hoping to see Horizon on Steam.
I believe that was 505 Games publishing the PC version of Death Stranding, not Sony. So there's still some hope.
Probably due to the work already on the engine for Death Stranding.
Awww...was hoping it'd be closer, either this month or April. :(
Curious to see if it'll be timed during/around E3 time to go along with Horizon 2 reveal.
(Also curious to see which/what service(s) Sony decides to launch it with)
edit: Also, obligatory Bloodborne port-beg.

this is a pretty weird thing to say. whose minds are being put at ease by this statement?
yeah, that does give me hope, so we'll see.
Since the PC doesn't require SSDs some might think that those PS5 exclusives will be held back by a potential PC port down the line...
