Sony is committing to its recent trend of porting certain PlayStation exclusives to the PC platform. In the past, games like Days Gone and Horizon Zero Dawn were published on Steam through PlayStation Mobile, but now all existing and future releases have been changed to a new label: PlayStation PC. The brand was created back in April, and is likely the result of Sony finding success with PlayStation games on the PC platform. Right now, the company is bringing over God of War and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, with both scheduled to launch sometime in early 2022.

So no more PS exclusives... I still prefer to play my games on my living room with a bigger screen, Yeah I could connect my PC but... just using my PS4 to the big TV instead of moving my PC or building another one is easier,

I have a really long HDMI cable to reach my TV.

Everyone would just boot Linux to play the games but continue to use windows the rest of the time

Windows is too dominant for most people to run Linux full time

That would be great though as gaming is a pretty big driver at the moment. Over time, more and more people would start to realise you can stay in Linux to do a lot of the same things. Even a modest shift, coupled with Valve supporting proton development for Steam Deck, would make more publishers take notice instead of just defaulting to Windows. I'm not saying it's likely, just that it would be a very interesting move for Sony.

Good for them... Maybe they should give PC gamers what they all want, Bloodborne

Or maybe they should give us at least the 60fps patch that we were asking for long time.

 

[Valwinz]

IMAO no reason to get a Ps5 just buy the game on PC

I know it's a long shot, but it would be pretty awesome if one day Sony released all of their games for PC like Xbox

The GeForce Now leak listed essentially every Playstation exclusive except Spider-Man and Bloodborne. And the latter might come to PC after a remaster.

 

[xtrem3x]

Wonder if they will bring PS1 and PS2 games?

You can play PSNow games on PC which include some good old PS games
They're streamed though so you need a good connection

Oh wow.
Quite a nice move from Sony there, gotta give them credit for that.
They still get money and more people get to experience their 1st party titles.

Now we just wait for the odd one out to join as well

Well, for those that can't afford the ridiculous prices that one can get a decent gfx card, a console is still a good value.

If you have a powerhouse pc, good for you, my friend. Crazy Chicken Shooter is right there, waiting for you.

Games should be developed on PC first, and then down-ported to consoles. Not the other way around.

PC ports are great news! But I still don't get the decision to port Uncharted 4. Do they expect PC players to just skip the first 3?

For casual players? yes

Since when have those of us in the PC Masterace been casual about anything?

The way it used to be with multiplat titles. zzzzz

PC as a platform name should be phased out in favour of the OS these days as Linux isn't really that niche anymore.

If you think of the platform as Windows, then it becomes a bit easier to understand why Sony is reluctant to go all in. Although, imagine if Sony decided to start releasing native Linux ports instead to cut into Windows dominance. Now that would be interesting.

LOL! I have been hearing virtually every year since 1997 that this is the year of Linux on the Desktop. It never happened. It never will. Just over a year ago a number of game publishers admitted they were no longer going to waste time making Linux versions. The PC platform IS Windows. Linux always has been niche and always will be. A quarter century of history ought to teach you that by now. LOL!

And the very idea that Sony would release its games for a market that has less than 1% of the market share rather than Windows is beyond laughable. It's sad, actually.

yes please!

Should've called it the Sony play-1000xm iii pro-pc alpha hi-rez dgs-10630 studio

 

[ZeroFX]

now port the damn games, all of the catalogue, i'll put the money for a eventual ps5 on the eventual pc upgrade budget.

These things take time but are possible if the right company gets behind it. Valve is going to change how Linux is viewed as a gaming platform as soon as next year. I'm willing to bet the market share will continue to increase.

Windows used to basically just be a frontend at one point, and everyone said we'd be gaming on DOS forever..

The name "legacy of thieves" implies:
-uncharted 5 is in the works
-it's a reboot, possibly with a new protagonist
