Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition launching on Steam this Summer

It's not completely confirmed but Guerilla tweeted out the Steam release and didn't mention any other storefronts.
Yes I think that's a reasonable assumption at this point. It could be a one-off because of the engine, or there could be more to come. But since you love HZD I can almost guarantee any sequel will come to PS5 way sooner than PC, so it depends if you have to have it day one or not.
There are more important things in life than owning a console with exclusive games.
Not listed but I don't see this below 49,99€ to be honest.
Agreed. To me, this move makes a lot of sense when viewed through the lens of backwards compatibility. Having as many of your old games as possible still accessible to you on your new console ties you into that ecosystem further with every game you own and buy, rather than it being a hard reset every console generation as it has been in the past. So if selling upressed versions of a game many people will already have access to is going to (largely) be out of the picture, it makes sense to try to get that catalog available elsewhere to have those games continue being a source of revenue. So I definitely disagree with some folks saying this is going to be the only game rather than part of a larger strategy.
Gah why should I buy a PS5 when I can just wait 3.5 years to buy the games in PC?

More good games on more systems is good. Hopefully if they port any more games (like Bloodborne) it means they will also be playing to fix any tech issues for the PS5 backwards compatible versions.

It's 100% real and as hilarious as it is it's also concerning.
Imagine simping for sony so hard you destroy your place.
I don't think it affects their next gen plans at all. The number of people with gaming PCs powerful enough to run these games are nowhere near the number of people who will buy a dedicated box for the convenience, simplicity, and overall value when you think of what building a PC similarly spec'd to a PS5/Xbox Series X would cost.
Quite the opposite. It's actually pretty awesome that more people will be able to play it.
It will be interesting to see how popular the game will be on the PC and what effect it will have on the IP.
Horizon 2 announcment for PS5 is going to be crazy.
You're going to love it. Fantastic game.

I think that's myopic (and flimsy), but only time will tell. I agree that the sequel will launch as a PS5 exclusive and remain so for some time, though. Even assuming all of the belated ports sell beyond expectations, I'd guess we're at least a couple of years away from seeing the first day-and-date simultaneous release.
Say it.
It sold ~2M in the US alone. It is probably in the ~4M range now.
NPD: Top 10 Life-To-Date Sold on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Vita
If this included the rest of the world there would be a lot more fifa .www.resetera.com
Just for clarity sake.
PS4's Bloodborne Sells 2 Million
Role-playing game reaches new sales milestone, up from 1 million earlier this year.
www.gamespot.com
The 2+ million is from Sony themselves via TGS and the figure is global, not US only. Shortly before the expansion launched a few months later, it was revealed the game had moved 2.1 million units worldwide.
Zhuge was speaking about sales at the end of 2018. It's possible those figures include PS+ (did he clarify?) If not, that's good news, but Sony hasn't provided official numbers since the end of 2015.
Edit - Regardless, my point is Bloodborne hasn't been a hardware driver for a long time. If a game with 3x the sales (Horizon) can make the jump to PC, there is hope for a game like Bloodborne.

Well it's about 3 years after the original release date. If it was day 1 I'll have gotten it on pc for sure, but if this is how they'll gonna do the pc release going forward, I'll probably still stick on my PS4/ PS5 to play my Sony games :P More power to the people who can wait that long lol.
I do think this release is more to build hype and get more people interested for the eventual sequel to Horizon on PS5

It depends how important playing Sony's games day one is to you. If you don't mind waiting a couple years or so then investing in a PC could be wise.
Exclusives are magical, that's why.
Look at the Xbox One. Absolutely zero appeal for me to own that console because I could just get them on PC instead.
Honest question.....how so?
What, in the context of more people being able to play a game, is 'disappointing' to you as a consumer?
You increase the odds of seeing Zero Dawn 2 (not that we weren't going to already, but the point is still poignant).
Maaaaaybe you weaken the 'brand' a little by having a previously-exclusive game open up, but I'm pretty sure Playstation has already crunched those numbers.
(Unless this is a more subtle troll and I'm being a mark)
Yeah, I'm curious on this too - Schrier's info said Epic and Steam (similar to Death Stranding), so I wonder why Epic hasn't thrown out a 'me too' tweet yes....unless things fell apart/never progressed in terms of communication??
With how blizzard is you know they literally could have delayed it.
I mean... Isn't that true? People like sticking to what's familiar to them so they'll just say "I'll wait for the PC port" instead of investing in a console. FOMO is also a factor, but I'm sure people're fine waiting a period of time
Good. It would be incredibly stupid if they did. This is probably a one-off due to the work that KojiPro has done on Decima for PC for Death Stranding.
Though one big positive to this (beyond Steam users getting to enjoy the best new IP of the generation) is that it increases the chances of HZD2 being revealed alongside the PS5.
Sony just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about PC culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in the PlayStation market where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over on the PC market, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the PlayStation Fans, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Horizon Zero Dawn for either system, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move.
Sony, publicly apologize and cancel Horizon Zero Dawn for PC or you can kiss your business goodbye.

More people get to play a overwhelmingly praised game.
Such a huge shame. Very sad. Shouldn't happen. Damn gaming going beyond petty boundaries.
Are you serious? It's just one, 3 years old game that you already played probably...
This is going to sell very well and probably be a good quality port.
I assume Sony are just testing the waters for more of their first party portfolio to come over to PC as well. The success of this game will probably bring more of them over.
Nice.

It won't be stupid or a one of, it will probably happen faster and more frequently the further we get into next gen.
PC always wins.
I hope Herman doesn't become the enemy for Sony fans on the internet. :/

100% once this sells gangbusters sony will be moving more games and at a swifter clip too. As soon as they see it makes commercial sense they will be quick to capitalize on it.
incredible post, if this is actually serious
some of you people are actually fucking insane
So either way you get to play the great games. What's the problem? I'm still not seeing it.
Because it didn't make anybody else happier. So if that sort of childish gatekeeping behavior actually brings you happiness, then that's sad but at least I can understand why you'd post it. If not though, then I don't understand why you'd even post it
