Sony's PS4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC this year, sources tell Kotaku.
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
It'll happen someday, believe ;_;me RUSHING to the ebic games store when bloodborne pc is revealed and it's an egs exclusive
I'm not sure the timing of this is great for business. It will make pc gamers hesitate over the need for a ps5.
Ive been pc/ps4/wiiu/switch this gen. If games start coming out day and date, I wouldn't see the need for a ps5.
I wonder if they will go while hog into this, or just drop a few games kind of as teasers: "this is the quality of our first party, if you want to play any more of them, buy a PlayStation!"

This shouldn't be bad news for anyone, really, the game has been out for 3 years now and it makes sense to port it to PC where it'll find a new audience and sales, now that it's past its prime and won't affect consoles sales that much. I can see this being part of Sony's strategy going forward, maybe not all their games, but some.
Or could it be that MS was ahead of the curve and saw where the future of gaming was heading with ecosystems and multiple ways of accessing it.
Release HZD on PC to get PC gamers interested in the franchise enough to buy a PS5 with HZD2 at launch.
So I guess in the future, they will do the same thing as Microsoft with a Sony client on Windows and putting games on PS Now/Epic/Steam/GOG(?) while keeping console alive. Ecosystem would be the main thing for Sony and Microsoft so it makes sense for Sony to start the transition.
man and i just bought it this christmas for PS4 lmao
gonna wait for the pc version and double dip. Hopefully this mean more games in the future. Bloodborne on PC would be fucking GLORIOUS.
The article says it's planned for PC too

Great news and I hope Sony continue to put their games on PC. No reason they can't appear on PC down the line after they have had the full exposure, hype and sales on the PS4/PS5.
Really hope this is an open announcement though and not some bullshit store exclusive nonsense. It's 2020 I want some basic fucking features in my games.

1. They're doing the engine work already due to Death Stranding PC port. This is essentially free money for them.
2. Horizon 2 is likely just about to be announced for the PS5. This will bring in new fans.
The one platform that could really use some horsepower. Imagine BOTW on a 2080Ti (or hell, a PS4 Pro).
Anyhow, as a primarily PS4 gamer I think this is great and smart. Doesn't leave PC gaming as uncontested space for Microsoft. Doesn't take anything away from me, and anyhow this year is most probably "new PC" year.
You all will be sorry for beating this meme to death when the first thing we see on PS5 is Knack 3, because Sony didn't get the joke. D: Heed my words... Heed my words... Heed my words...
I think Microsoft proved the audience who want consoles won't go to PC.
Meanwhile, a subset of players want uncompromised performance and are willing to buy a PC to get it, and forego a console regardless of the exclusives.
This is a win for everyone. Sony gets a new market and I have no doubt the long term plan is to bring PSN services to PC ala Xbox Live. More people get to play games they otherwise wouldn't.
Fanboys may be cross, but they will still be able to buy a PlayStation and play those games. I don't see what has materially changed so long as they can carry on playing those games on PlayStation consoles.

That polish guy is two out of two Horizon and Death Stranding even if Death Stranding was already announced .
My GTX 1080 won't get the sweet 120 or 144 fps.. but of course I hope it's unclocked framerate.
Sounds good to me. It's an awesome game. If Playstation released all their games on PC I would just own a PC like I'm doing for Xbox and Game Pass. A Playstation is worth it because, quite frankly, they have the best games of all time exclusive to the system but if I can play them on PC it would just make the most sense to have one system that can do it all. I would just convert it to a more couch friendly setup because it's more office-y right now.
Phil did promise that they would have more first party games on their system. He never said which first party.

Death stranding and Horzion Zero Dawn may be the start of something new. I'd like to see more of this.
Lol.
I bought a ps4. Doesn't that make me a person that buys console ?
If they port their exclusives to PC I am not buying a ps5.
I can use a controller a PC (like I have been doing for the past 15 years...), the library is steam and gigantic, and many games are getting crossplay now that sony allowed it so the "friends" thing won't apply next gen anywhere as much.
Clearly the exclusives are going to matter then and if they're all on PC we have little reason to get a console.
I mean, I don't see how this affects the average gamer considering they don't see any of the profits the company and the brand make?
Leads me to believe Horizon will make launch for PS5. Great way to drive the sales of PS5. A lot of folks will be playing this game for the first time and might not want to wait another 3 years until the sequel reaches PC (if it does)
Great move by Sony. Glad they're following MS' lead. I'll still get a PS5 day one but it's awesome they're letting others enjoy their output. Horizon is probably just a way to test the waters but I expect more soon. We know MLB the show is going to be on different platforms too. The gaming world is shifting in a good way.
I wonder what enhancements it will have on PC and whether these improvements will come to the PS5 via a patch.

This news makes me wonder if Horizon 2 will be on PC at launch. Especially since some are going to hold out for a PC version now with this news.
Making early, big AAA PS5 games PS5-only isn't wise in terms of setting those games up for success (i.e.: sequels) in my opinion. It's fine to not to put them on PS4, but those early AAA games shouldn't be on just a $400+ console with a low userbase in this day & age in my opinion.

This is Good. I played it first time in a hurry so now I can spend much more time on the PC version.
And I think now I am convinced of PC + PS5 setup , as there is possibility of playing the PC version later down the road.
Obviously can't wait 3-4 years to play GOW 2 so have to buy PS5 for that. but I think overall this is good.

This is amazing!. I wonder what will this mean for the Decima engine in the future. Since it seems it works well on PC, maybe some other Sony studios will use it for the PS5.
It's funny how some of the early in the thread said that they were wondering what Sony fans thought about yet I see some pretty annoying PC comments.
I'm super happy if it's coming and hope it's on every digital platform or else no go if EGS exclusive.

some will def take this badly, especially the twitter warriors
You gonna play Last of us 2 on PS4 or wait for the PS5 version.
Both
Question is what does it mean for first party development as it shifts to PS5. Are all PS5 first party titles going to be launched on PC simultaneously or will there be a timed exclusivity?
Depending on their plan, I guess I'll have one more reason to invest in PC and a less to own a PS5.

It'd be a very smart move for sure, their games aren't the leggiest
