Sony's PS4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC this year, sources tell Kotaku.

Which is kinda weird. Because he has previously stated very specifically he wants to move people from PS4 to PS5 in vast numbers. We already didn't really know what exactly he means by that, and now this makes it even more confusing.
I guess we kind of have no choice but to wait and see idk.
A tiny fraction of Sony's income from their gaming division selling exclusive games. They can double that fraction by releasing it on PC too, sure.
But most of their money comes from their 30% cut on all the third party games that people choose to buy there, that and PSN subs/
If people stop buying third party games on PlayStation, and instead just get it on PC, it might not be beneficial to Sony financially in the long run.
I am glad my non console friends in real life will finally see how good these PS exclusive's quality has been. Me pressuring them to buy a PS5 just became a lot easier. Hehe
Really cant see the problem even if you went nuts and said 5 million less PS consoles would be sold due to some exclusives going to PC. That's still 100 million potential PS buyers if this gen is anything to go by.
Honestly can't see sony releasing all exclusives on PC. Most console players still can't be arsed with PC regardless and that wont change.

Unfortunatelty, you dont stand alone in not making a circus out of you.
It's pure speculation that's trying to marry We see the benefit of GaaS quote from a while ago from some PS/Sony head honcho, and Shawn Layden's quote stating MP PS games released for a wider install base. (Though interestingly, the MP part of the quote is never in quotes.) Pure speculation and not even in a negative sense tbh, as I'd love to see PS devs try their hand at something different.
Because I like save money and get the highest quality product for my money. Oh you mean Sonys financial success don't really care that much. I'm sure LG Display thought they had top notch business analysts.
Nobody knows what their strategy here is but I thought about this too. I can't wait for the PS5 reveal and hope they share more about their future plans regarding possible future PC releases/ports too (I mean if there is more stuff planned or if Horizon will be the only one for now).
You already own a PS4 and it's a port of a 3 year old game, so it won't affect you and it will allow more people to play the game so I don't see how it devalues the platform for you personally? Sony obviously believes that the increased sales and exposure offsets 'losing' a a few exclusives by bringing them to PC, and I'm sure they have hundreds of analysts looking into this kind of data.
"I don't understand why 'Sony will make more money!" Is something I should care about."
But you care about the "value" of a console you already bought, probably several years ago. You've already had enjoyment with this game for potentially nearly 3 years so I don't see why it makes you bitter when the game belatedly comes to a different platform.

i mean, the PC gamers who waited 3+ years to play this on PC instead of getting it on a playstation aren't magically going to turn into console gamers. they'll either wait for the sequel to show up as well or go "oh well" and move on to other games when it doesn't.
people are reading way too much into this. it's just a move to make some more money off of a game that's done selling on its original platform.
ofcourse but this generation many more usual pc exclusives or pc type of games are also on console. Cities skylines, civilisation, sterlaris. Getting there slowly.
User Warned: Platform Warring
Really interested with the messaging they'll use with the announcement. With Death Stranding they just had to let an independent studio announce it, so it wasn't that crazy, but here they'd have to say it themselves, so I wonder what language it'll use exactly.
Also interested in who's publishing it. If it's Sony themselves it might say a lot. If it's another publisher like DS, it won't mean that much for the future.

they're publishing that predator game on PC themselves, probably will publish this one as well. i can't imagine they'll license a premier first party developed title to another publisher.
lol Power to them, I was just responding to a specific thing that poster said.
I already sold my PS4 when I learned that the PS5 will have BC, so I couldn't happier to learn that Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC!
Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of my most favourite games of all time, and possibly my most favourite PS4 game. I'm glad (if this is true) that more people will get to play it, though, I expect quite a few annoying "the game was unplayable below 120fps" posts and other stupid shit like that.
Horizon is now a 3 year old game and we're approaching the end of the generation, so my guess is - Horizon 2 will be a PS5 exclusive (for a while, at least) and this will actually push more people to buy a PS5 to play it, after they got hooked on the first part on PC.

2080 ti costs 1050-1200.
Rtx 2060 has 1.5x gpu perf of a Xbox one x for $299
Oh, for sure. The big Twitch streamers play on PC and Steam has been a blessing. And obviously because it's the best way to play! ;)
Nice! I would love to see PS4 exclusives coming to PC after the generation shift.
I think it would be beneficial for consumers and Sony.

I'm sure there are a bunch of people building PCs right now. Lol. Consoles will always rule this landscape. Computers is a very niche crowd. Lol
Yeah, Sony Interactive Entertainment has been publishing multiple games on PC since last year.
They're definitely not doing that just for the fun of it. They're establishing themselves on the new market, PC.
Yes! I have been always seeing This face here, when PC gamers didn't care about PS exclusives :p
They were overrated and their awards were fake because press is console centric. I am trying to find a similar post between 3000 here and I can't.
Every fanboy feels the same. You don't need to search. It's just Sony's time today, but every single one, one day or another will wear the mask.
That will hopefully be a free update with the PC sales paying for the dev time.
