High chance they won't allow it.
It could also dividing Dreamers with exclusive/better features whether officially/unofficially, in my opinion.

Hey Hermen...you working on the Alyx PSVR2 release or what? I mean at least work something in return lol.
I would pay that price to have pretty much every game I might be interested in one platform.
Oh, and for some reason, this interview on PS Blog made me think that they aren't buying/creating any new studios in the near future, or it would be announced today.
They might be waiting to announce any possible acquisitions alongside the studio's game. Like if they are acquiring Bluepoint I could see them making that announcement during the PS5 reveal when Bluepoint's game gets revealed.
Yeah, and he also said there's no plans for day and date releases yet Predator is a thing. If Horizon on PC is a big success they're 100% gonna bring everything they can over.
How so?
They can announce an aquisition at any day of the week lol
Why is there any correlation between the two? Sony doesn't make a big deal out of acquisitions so they wouldn't have reserved it for some blog interview.
Yes please.
Agree with all of this. I don't know why people get angry when this possibility is even brought up. 1, who gives a shit if this negatively impacts Sony, we're not shareholders. And 2, if they do decide to release their games day and date, then I'm not sure why it has to be negative for the people in here who say they would move to pc . It's a platform of choice, not some social contract. You don't owe any major corporation anything, let alone loyalty to a console.
I don't believe anything he says about exclusives going forward. How are they gonna determine which ones they want to port? They should take only on PlayStation off the box after Detroit and now HZD.
Did nobody read the full quote?! They said they are dedicated to set hardware twice in the interview.
It was a interview mainly to say what has changed in the WWS since Hermen became the big boss. If a new studio had been acquired, I believe it would be a good place to make the announcement.
I really hope they fully commit to PC and announce a general guideline when their games will be available as I'll be able to save $800+ alone on hardware and services such as PS+ cost and put that money towards a PC and play Xbox games there as well.
My GOD yall are dramatic. It really just boils down to it now being playable only on Playstation huh?
I honestly dont know that to say. Herman was a far cry from we will bring everything over if it does well. Brought up dedicated hardware twice and even reassured fans.
I would rather it be day and date then this piecemeal plan they have going. But they won't don't that because they want maximum console sales.
That quote means nothing. It's damage control because they know it passed some people off. Dedicated hardware sure. Dedicated games...not so much.
I expect them to bring everything over , the question is how long it will take .
IMO after the build a base or store and cloud gaming take off some more we will see them on PC the same day .
Until then at least 1 or 2 years afterwards .
People that are willing to do that simply never play Sony exclusive games anyway, so this hurts no one and is only a win-win for both PC players and Sony.
Those that have not played HZD and get HOOKED on the story WILL NOT wait 3 years to play the sequel on PC. That is what Sony is counting on regarding PS5.
And I doubt it will be all Sony games that come to PC, probably very case by case basis for many years.
You believe the HZD PC statemet but not what he said right afterwards? Detroit was a different situation from HZD and with death stranding coming to PC I'm sure most of the work for HZD was done.
But there's no reason to think that they'd be tied to an interview. Sony literally dropped the announcement that they were acquiring Insomniac during the middle of gamescom.
nah, those are old ideas
its time to look forward to random thursday's instead
Yea no shit they want to sell consoles. They also don't mind another revenue stream for a 3 year old game. Why are you so upset about this lol? If you want to get a PC to play PS5 games..Then do it. Just know you won't get it day and date. Nothing is stopping you from doing that.
It really just seems to boil to it not being only playable on playstation which IMO just boils down to straight fanboyism.
I would like to know that as well. Im a 2070 Super owner and if all is going to be released on PC (sooner or later) I have no reasons to spend the money on PS5 + the services. The PR from Sony made me more confused...
Not gonna quote everyone who replied to me, but let me explain my take on MP/LS-games: they often seem to be designed in a horribly wrong fashion of "Heres a money making-sheme with rather questionable practices, now build some sort of game around it!". Personally I selfishly prefer single player games without "time-savers" and the likes. Anyways PS will do whatever they think is best, weĺl see whether it works out or not.
Nobody really gives a crap about that stuff aside from a few posters here.
Yes they are.
What does dedicated hardware have to with anything? Microsoft has dedicated hardware and no dedicated games.
Simply shouldn't exist anymore. Just put a SIE sticker on there to make it clear that it's SIE developers/published.
You can be dedicated to hardware and still bring everything to PC. That's exactly what Microsoft is doing.
Dedicated hardware was used in the context of WWS developers. We are very "dedicated hardware game developers". Sounds like exclusives to me. I cant believe we are cleverly ignoring why HZD was chosen (hint hint its death stranding). Wheres LOU, God of War, Uncharted, Bloodborne? Did they give any indication that all games will come? What because predator an online only game is launching on PS4 and PC it means all exclusives are coming? I got many comments saved to come back here with.
But what does that matter? the Hardware really should be just another way to play games. These consoles are like PC's anyway. If they see another revenue stream for a game how does that impact you negatively as a gamer?
Is not very clear, if im only interested in TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima ....I have no idea if they will be released on PC on later... also in the box: "Only on PlayStation". Saying they will support dedicated hardware and the games won't release same day on PS and PC it's not clear, at least for me.
How is it fanboyism if I would rather have day and date PC release then some staggered bullshit?
It's not clear at all. It's intentionally vague. Please keep buying PS consoles because we won't be honest about our business plans.
I thought Herman's comments were enough to keep everyone calm in here following this news. I guess not. Man literally claims that this won't impact exclusives and they are trying to intrigue an audience who otherwise doesnt experience playstation. This is only going to result in more money for more games, and I can assure you a CONSOLE making company won't release its entire exclusive catalogue on PC. why? Because they aren't doing it now. A select few games coming to PC with most being smaller second party games. Sony knows first party titles are critical to their business, there is a reason Ps outsold xbox this gen
I dont even think launching 1 to 2 years down the line is coming anytime soon. HZD is a far cry from their entire collection especially considering death stranding laying the groundwork.
It is clear. They said you won't get games day and date. Now if you want to ditch the PS console and beef up your PC in hopes you'll get these games at some point. Thats your choice. Come on now. You guys CAN think for yourselves. HZD was chosen simply because DS did the heavy lifting here. It's not rocket science.
See my other comment and read the article. You clearly dont recognize the context with which dedicated hardware was used.
Sony makes their money from PSN. People buying into their ecosystem. Once their games are on PC their will only receive the money from those games and the rest will be taken by Steam or Epic.
The people that will move from PS to PC are less likely to be casuals and will be more power user who invest a lot in games. The loss of those will be severe and unlike Microsoft Sony is not invested in the PC space with an operating system or a download based subscription base or similar products and services.
It will be interesting to see Sonys strategy here. I wonder how long Nintendo will persevere.

It's not clear at all.
We don't know what criteria they are going to follow to pick the games that will release on PC. And we don't know how much time between the release date...
And that's the confusing part.... Should I upgrade my PC or should I buy the PS5? No idea what's better for me, because now I don't know if a game will be released on PC..., it's not rocket science, as you said. ;)
Because you're ignoring what he's saying then and being upset about it. You're choosing not to believe his actual words. He said games aren't going to come day and date and you said you don't believe it because it's PR. If you want to play PS4/PS5 games day and date. Get the console. It's that simple.
And also. This is directed at everyone. NO one gives a crap about "only on Playstation" being on the box. Only yall making a big issue out of it.
It means you will be waiting a long ass time for those games if they come at all. Judging from track record they also won't come at all.
If you want to play a PS4/PS5 game day and date of release. Get the console. Pretty clear in my book.
But do what you want. If you'd rather wait. That's awesome. Fact is this move doesn't impact gamers negatively at all. But it's being treated as negative information lol.
I have a PC and I'm fine with still getting a PS5. I'm not going to wait for some of the exclusives they offer even if they were 100% clear about timeframes between PS5 and PC releases. Especially if the PS5 turns out to be a strong value for its price point hardware wise.
