Summary
PlayStation’s next wave of first-party PC ports has been leaked online, and if this rumor is true then some of the company’s biggest exclusives are branching out in 2024. While Sony’s staple of first-party studios has naturally focused on making exclusive titles for PlayStation consoles, Sony has been working toward bringing some of these games to a wider PC audience in recent years. This has had mixed results so far, with titles likeHorizon Zero Dawnand 2018’sGod of Warfinding major success while others likeUncharted: Legacy of Thieves CollectionandThe Last of Us Part 1struggling to make sales on PC outletslike Steam.
Still, PlayStation’s porting efforts have had more hits than misses so far, and 2023 saw the PC debuts of several Sony first-party titles. The aforementionedThe Last of Us Part 1was launched on PClast March, right on the heels of HBO’s highly successfulThe Last of Ustelevision show. Before that, the sci-fi roguelike PS5 launch titleReturnalarrived on PC back in February, followed byRatchet and Clank: Rift Apartin July. 2024 is already promising more PlayStation PC ports to come, with the first confirmed one beingHorizon Forbidden West Complete Edition.
There might be plenty more in the coming year, as an anonymous 4Chan user claims to know PlayStation’s next five PC ports. According to this leak, which was shared by Reddit userTheEternalGazedon r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, this list consists ofThe Last of Us Part 2,God of War Ragnarok,Demon’s Souls,Gran Turismo 7, andGhost of Tsushima. The rumor claims that all of these titles will be released on PC at some point later this year, and thatDemon’s SoulsandGhost of Tsushimahave taken so long due to their respective development teams' inexperience with making PC ports.
The leak goes on to hint at some PlayStation PC ports for 2025, includingMarvel’s Spider-Man 2and earlier PS exclusives likeInfamous: Second Son. Curiously enough, a group of dataminers recently attempted to buildan unauthorized PC version ofSpider-Man 2using material pulled from December’s massive Insomniac data breach, but many of the individuals involved have since withdrawn from the project. Meanwhile, quite a few of the titles listed in this newest rumor were mentioned in the now-infamous Nvidia GeForce Now leak from back in 2021, which predicted many of Sony’s subsequent PC ports.
Of course, neither the Nvidia leak nor these recent 4Chan claims have been verified in any official capacity, so fans should take them with a grain of salt for the time being. That being said, the games listed in this list of possiblePlayStationPC ports are either follow-ups to titles that have already been released on PC or highly successful on their native PlayStation systems, and it would stand to reason that they would eventually make the transition to the larger PC market at some point. Only time will tell if these fivePlayStationfirst-party titles joinHorizon Forbidden West Complete Editionon the PC later this year.
