Prior PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC
Numerous rumors have floated about regarding the possibility of Sony studio Guerilla Games bringing their PS4 exclusive title Horizon Zero Dawn to the PC platform. And now, it has officially been confirmed by PlayStation EU. In a new PlayStation Blog, the head of the company's Worldwide Studios branch, Hermen Hulst, talks about the future of media, including the Uncharted movie, The Last of Us's TV adaptation, and new to everyone, the upcoming PC port of Horizon: Zero Dawn.
Our talk covers a lot of ground: from upcoming film and TV projects based on Uncharted and The Last of Us, to the upcoming PC port of Horizon: Zero Dawn, to what’s next for PlayStation’s international network of game studios.
Hulst confirmed the rumors, and stated that the PC version of the game would be releasing later this summer, with more information to come at a later date, from the developers themselves. Horizon: Zero Dawn originally released for the PlayStation 4 in 2017, and sold over 10 million copies.
Speaking of experimentation, there have been rumors of a Horizon Zero Dawn complete edition that might be coming to PC… can you confirm or deny that?
Yes, I can confirm that Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC this summer…. There will be more information coming from Guerrilla, from the new studio directors [Michiel van der Leeuw, JB van Beek, and Angie Smets] pretty soon.
This won't be a common occurence, seeing PS4 exclusives jump onto PC, but the team found that the game was an ideal match for the platform, in HZD's case.
And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn’t necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don’t have plans for day and date [PC releases], and we remain 100% committed to dedicated hardware.
