Herman Hulst in an interview about PS games on PC:

"I think it's important that we stay open to new ideas of how to introduce more people to PlayStation, and show people maybe what they've been missing out on," he said.

"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."

"We're very committed to dedicated hardware, as we were before," he stated. "We're gonna continue to do that. And we're very committed to quality exclusives. And to strong narrative-driven, single-player games.

"At the same time, we're going to be very open to experimentation, to new ideas. Just trying things out to see what works. I think that's also very much part of the DNA of Worldwide Studios."

Horizon: Zero Dawn confirmed for PC

Horizon: Zero Dawn will launch on PC this Summer, PlayStation has confirmed.

Sony is dipping their toes. Brace yourself, fanboys. According to the logic around these parts, HZD is no longer an exclusive.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Makes sense, and if PC gamers like it they can get the sequel when it drops on the PS5, or just wait for the PC release years later again.

 

[Husky]

Are you telling me I can play Horizon: Zero Dawn with KEYBOARD AND MOUSE?
holy fUCK

Guess you don't need a PlayStation anymore.

 

[Pejo]

Nice! I guess there will be some crow served from the "it's never gonna happen" posters in the rumor thread. I'll definitely pick this up on PC for the hopeful (eventual) mods, but I'm more excited about what this could mean for other Sony exclusives, despite what Hulst said. I wouldn't even mind a 1-2 year delay if it means PC gets more previously exclusive games.

Wonder if that means the Aloy gear from MHW will make its way to PC now? I wanted that bow.

 

[Birdo]

I'll assume they will do this with all their b-tier exclusives like this and Day's Gone.

EDIT: Boy, did this comment ruffle some feathers. I don't mean b-tier as in quality, I mean in status among the PS brand.

Hopefully that edit will save my inbox.

EDIT 2: It didn't.

dont start that shit man haha. One game from 3 years ago and he reiterates that console is gonna be main attention

 

[Sub_Level]

no no no WE GOT TOO COCKY SONY BROS

 

[Larxia]

I wish it was Gravity Rush or Spider-Man instead The only playstation games I really want to play.

 

[ManaByte]

I'll assume they will do this with all their b-tier exclusives like this and Day's Gone.

Oh, NOW Horizon is a b-tier exclusive.

 

[Larxia]

Steam page is up:

edit : well apparently it doesn't want to load here for some reason, but it's there on steam.

 

[Agnostic2020]

Oh, NOW Horizon is a b-tier exclusive.

no one in their right mind can call horizon b tier haha he is way off. it's the most successful new IP this gen

 

[Birdo]

Oh, NOW Horizon is a b-tier exclusive.

Huh? It's always been b-tier. It was only the press that acted like it was the greatest game of all time (For a week).

Most people I know don't even remember playing it

 

[drotahorror]

Had just sold my PS4, and never got around to playing the HZD DLC. Definitely looking forward to this. Now, if only Day's Gone and Spiderman would make their way...

 

[Aggelos]

 

[SpartanN92]

Awesome! I sold my PS4 before I got the chance to play this! I’m looking forward to it.

 

[Holammer]

Store page is up on Steam, but it's impossible to link for some reason?

lol you live in la la land to think the most successful new IP this generation is B-tier lol. rated and 89 and sold more than 15 million units that is the definition of AAA

 

[it_wasn't_me]

Guess you don't need a PlayStation anymore.

For HZD? People already bought it 4
years ago. If HZD 2 will be a launch title for PS5, i'll bet that you won't see a HZD 2 on PC in next 3 years after launch

 

[Mithos]

Hopefully... It will come without the Denuvo virus...

 

[Sussoloc]

I wish it was Gravity Rush or Spider-Man instead The only playstation games I really want to play.

Play Batman, imagine yourself Bruce wears a Spidey costume and there you go

 

[StreetsofBeige]

when Sony releases games in other platforms, I like they do it as quietly as possible (like trying to hide it so they don’t get nailed by their own fans)

they did the same for MLB multiplat gaming coming in 2021. They didn’t even announce it.

VFXVet was right. For all the haters doubting him, got to admit he was right the whole time. He just had the info too early.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I'll assume they will do this with all their b-tier exclusives like this and Day's Gone.

You would know a thing or two about b-tier.

 

[kingbean]

Cool. This is great news. I'm not just dying to play the game on PC but it's a very good sigh of things to come, hopefully.

 

[OmegaSpear]

I hope that it comes soon to PC. I want to see what sales it will do. Not a fan of Horizon Zero Dawn though.

 

[Birdo]

lol you live in la la land to think the most successful new IP this generation is B-tier lol. rated and 89 and sold more than 15 million units

B-tier doesn't have anything to do with revenue. Day's Gone sold millions too, but you wouldn't call it a AAA Sony game.

What I mean by B-Tier, is games that aren't part of Sony's big franchises, or associated with the brand, like Uncharted, TLOU, GT, and so on.

 

[ResilientBanana]

dont start that shit man haha. One game from 3 years ago and he reiterates that console is gonna be main attention

May as well. This thread is about to be trashed.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Hopefully... It will come without the Denuvo virus...

Lol. I don’t game on PC but I love how benchmarking would show Denuvo eating up resources like crazy every second. How it can use up cpu power every second is amazing

 

[Agnostic2020]

B-tier doesn't have anything to do with revenue. Day's Gone sold millions too, but you wouldn't call it a AAA Sony game.

What I mean by B-Tier, is games that aren't part of Sony's big franchises, like Uncharted, TLOU, GT, and so on.

AAA means budget, pedigree and critical acclaim of the title which this had all. and you can bet your ass from now on horizon will be part of PS staples like uncharted

 

[kingbean]

Whens bloodborne?

 

[DonJorginho]

Huh? It's always been b-tier. It was only the press that acted like it was the greatest game of all time (For a week).

Most people I know don't even remember playing it

I am a Sony fanboy, and HZD was an 8/10 at best, gorgeous graphics, lovely world and lore, okay story, average gameplay.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Assuring that not every game will come to PC “puts minds at ease” seems backwards to me. Good to see an exclusive come to PC but this should definitely be far from the last.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Are you telling me I can play Horizon: Zero Dawn with KEYBOARD AND MOUSE?
holy fUCK

This combined with a high frame rate will probably make the bow and arrow gameplay actually really fun. I finished it on PS4, but could never really come to grips with combat. Looking forward to playing on PC.

 

[Birdo]

you can bet your ass from now on horizon will be part of PS staples like uncharted

Well not any more, it's not even exclusive to Playstation

 

[StreetsofBeige]

dont start that shit man haha. One game from 3 years ago and he reiterates that console is gonna be main attention

And years ago every exec would say they wouldn’t bother with PC ever.

then comes PsNow for PC, now a 3 year old highly rated game is a stand-alone PC game on steam like every other PC game.

don’t be naive thinking there isn’t a trend.

even MLB is coming too. And like all sports games it’ll be an early season launch

 

[GHG]

Whens bloodborne?

We fucking need this.

So bad.

But regardless, I'm double dipping day one for Horizon ZD.

 

[Psykodad]

Sony is dipping their toes. Brace yourself, fanboys. According to the logic around these parts, HZD is no longer an exclusive.

"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."

The most important part about the HZD PC confirmati9n, but okay.


Anyway, nice for PC gamers to get the chance to enjoy HZD.

And hopefully this means that there is also truth to the rumored Killzone Breach title (PS4/PC multiplayer game).

 

[AV]

Nice, enjoy PC friends. This game will greatly benefit from 60+ FPS and KBM.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Whens bloodborne?

Already on PS Now for PC two years ago

 

[Birdo]

He could have at least traded it in.

Internet joke or $3 store credit?

It was worth it.

 

[CyberPanda]

VFXVeteran redeemed.

 

[FranXico]

I honestly even thought Bloodborne would come to PC first.

 

[Husky]

This combined with a high frame rate will probably make the bow and arrow gameplay actually really fun. I finished it on PS4, but could never really come to grips with combat. Looking forward to playing on PC.

I hope someday I can replay The Last of Us with keyboard and mouse

 

[Entroyp]

Can’t wait to play this game again, but on a RTX 3080

 

[RavenSan]

Nice -- played a few hours of it on PS4, and then kinda lost steam on it. No interest in playing on PS4 anymore (base model) -- so I'll look forward to maxing it out on my PC.

 

[Evilms]

 

[ManaByte]

If Horizon is coming, that Last of Us 2 rumor might be true too.

 

[diffusionx]

One of my favorite games this gen - and HZD at 4k/60fps/higher settings might seriously be the best looking game ever made at this point.

 

[ethomaz]

Looks like part of PS5 marketing plan.
HZD2 to be announced soon.
