Edit, wrong quote

 

[Fredrik]

”It is currently not possible to purchase the PC version of a title and then play it on a PS4 or PS5 console, or vice versa.”

”It is currently not possible to transfer your save data from the PS4 or PS5 version to the PC version of a PlayStation Studios title, or vice versa.”

I read this as that it’ll come sooner or later. Awesome!

 

[TheTony316]

Not great for playstation console owners and ultimately Sony in the long run imo.

More like: Not good for the hardcore fanboys and list warriors. I bet the vast majority of Playstation users couldn't care less about this.

 

[Tomi]

Returnal incoming

 

[Midn1ght]

Returnal incoming

If the images that leaked a while back are real, Returnal and Sackboy are next. Demon’s Soul, The Last of Us and Ghost of Tsushima will probably come up too.

So much greatness.

Greatness Awaits... on PCs running Microsoft Windows (TM)

 

[Bernd Lauert]

So Sony putting about 20% of their games on PC years after release

Man, this goalpost is gonna move so much in the near future.

 

[mansoor1980]

[Mister Wolf]

Our money is too strong for them to ignore.

 

[ArtHands]

3.5 games if you want to be really picky

but

2 of those will be sold as one package, so 3 more releases. (it matters re: sales since they are only collecting once for those 2 games)

 

[IWasInSeinfeld]

I am more interested in PlayStation Plus having a separate tier for PC users, because paying $17 just to be able to use cloud streaming is a little too much. Every other perk that comes with the "Premium" tier is only available to you if you have an actual console, in other words, why would people who are only interested in cloud streaming would pay for something that they cannot use? Alternatively as a PC player you could just purchase a PlayStation Now membership card, but people realized that those cards have much more value now so they raised the prices by at least $20, GG.

This aiant the Sony I once knew

The majority of new PC integrated GPUs from Intel such as Xe are improving while AMD PC APUs includes RDNA 2 base IGP. Consoles are less needed when the PC improves DRM and baseline integrated GPUs.

 

[The_Mike]

Why would they move away from selling literally every single $500 console they can produce and taking a 20% cut of all game sales on it?

Well people in here thinks the same about Microsoft and Activision so it seems to be the logical norm in here.

we should really be blaming MS for this PC integration crap, Sony just followed suit. The 360 is going to be their last unique console

How?

I mean Microsoft gets blamed for nearly everything in here, but how can you blame Microsoft for releasing games on pc?

Sony aren't forced to anything. They weren't forced to release console games on pc.

With links to Epic Games Store and Steam, debunking that rumor of Sony making their own store/launcher.

https://manofmany.com/entertainment/gaming/playstation-on-pc

After releasing some of its major IPs on PC, Sony has finally established a new page on the PlayStation‘s website solely for its games for PC. This isn’t surprising since the console manufacturer is already fully invested in porting its exclusive franchises to PC, a move that not only opens the games to a broader range of audiences but also helps Sony sell more blockbusters cross-platform, allowing the entertainment giant to bank on the already stellar list of money makers.

The PC page has listed games like God of War, Days Gone, and Horizon Zero Dawn, all of which are currently available on PC, however, the “Coming Soon” tab, which as the name gives away, reveals all the PlayStation-exclusive games that will soon be making their way onto PC. The section mentions three upcoming games: Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, and the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection. We already knew about Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered coming to PC for a while now and it’s great to see the newer Miles Morales game on its way too.

As per the information listed on the PlayStation PC page, the additional Spider-Man release will make its PC debut in “Fall 2022,” which isn’t that distant. A major boost for PC PlayStation fans, the new games will give some much-needed diversity to the portfolio of games, allowing players to tackle more grounded plot-points and character arcs. The third Sony game coming to PC is the Uncharted Legacy: of Thieves Collection which comprises the remastered versions of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy bundled together. Sony hasn’t shared any release window or date for this one, as the page simply says, “Coming to PC 2022.”

Miles Morales and Uncharted Legacy Collection coming in later this year.


Sony has finally joined broadening their software to PC, ironic when you think about their stance on this not too long ago, but now you can keep track of upcoming releases, and download the big PS5 hits on your PC all on one convenient webpage.

I know some here are mixed on Sony doing this, some may even have some words to say to one "Jim Ryan" but if you step back you will see this is a decision that will be most lucrative for Sony. Very Lucrative, especially if they wait 6 months to a year before bringing hit titles to PC, making them double the profits.

I assume eventually PSN will also be brought over to bridge the gap between PC and PS4 in the future. Sony also has PSNOW a streaming service, i expect them to take advantage of a Streaming app soon to play games on mobile devices too.

The wait to be granted eyes continues

RIP Bryank

 

[usp84]

Great in just a few hours someone has to find something Bloodborne related there right????????

 

[The Cockatrice]

[Aure]

Awesome. But i must insist, they need release Uncharted: The Nathan Drake collection, SOTC HD and Judgement.
I want to play those games again, i sold my PS4 and i have no plans to buy a PS5 at all.

 

[ManaByte]

Judgment series

That's up to Sega.

 

[nightmare-slain]

K now give me Demon Souls, Bloodborne remastered, Judgment series so I can double dip my balls into them.

[Portugeezer]

Grace the PC plebs with Bloodborne!

It is time.

 

[Topher]

 

[nightmare-slain]

Grace the PC plebs with Bloodborne!

It is time.

already played it but would be nice to play it at 4k 60fps or even 120fps and turn that nasty CA off

 

[Captain Toad]

Sony also has PSNOW a streaming service

There's multiple things wrong with this statement.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Grace the PC plebs with Bloodborne!

It is time.

Grace everyone with 60+fps and perfect IQ Bloodborne!

It is time.

 

[Captain Toad]

Grace the PC plebs with Bloodborne!

It is time.

Screw that. Grace PS5 players with Bloodborne that runs like a modern game.

 

[SeraphJan]

Hope they could implement cross save with their steam version

 

[Warnen]

console manufacturer is already fully invested in porting its exclusive franchises to PC

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

Good news, it's about time Sony started to realize that PC is a major market of games players, and the potential negative effect of people not buying PS5's is vastly overblown. PC primary players aren't buying PS5 consoles en masse just for the exclusives, and the ones that were were only buying exclusives, so the benefit of having them in the ecosystem is the same as if they simply bought them on PC. This way it allows way more people to buy the games, which leads to bigger revenue, and larger word-of-mouth by people talking about the games. The only people who this negatively affects are the people who think a game is better by being "only on Playstation", and those people shouldn't be of concern to any rational person.

And before anybody says anything, I'm a primary console gamer, I already have a PS5, and this probably won't affect me buying a PS6, I'm just glad that there could be more options for playing some of these great games.

 

[Mr Moose]

Damn, already turned into another port begging thread.

The page is pretty useless, it just tells you to get them on Steam or Epic store.

 

[kanjobazooie]

One step closer to day 1 releases on PC.

 

[Interfectum]

 

[GermanZepp]

Grace everyone with 60+fps and perfect IQ Bloodborne!

Bloodborne needs some of that volumetric fog and lighthing from returnal too.

 

[SlimySnake]

pretty stupid business decision but as a 3080 owner, i hope to see GOW and TLOU remake day one on PC or soon after like they said for TLOU. I see no reason to stay in the PS ecosystem anymore.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Bloodborne needs some of that volumetric fog and lighthing from returnal too.

That fog is some of, if not the best I've seen in a game. You see zero artifacts or mesh edges.

 

[rodrigolfp]

It's not port, but decent definitive version begging.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

God of War Remake?

 

[DeepEnigma]

pretty stupid business decision

 

[Kabelly]

I've been patiently waiting for Ghost of Sushi to be released. That game will be so beautiful.

 

[Gp1]

I would settle for "The Fumito collection"

 

[remember_spinal]

Almost the one year anniversary in a couple of weeks since Uncharted pc port was announced and its not eeven on the site lol

 

[Flutta]

And Bloodborne is still nowhere to be found…. disgraceful.

Sony = .

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Almost the one year anniversary in a couple of weeks since Uncharted pc port was announced and its not eeven on the site lol

It is on the site. Coming 2022.

 

[Lady Jane]

> Playstation games on PC
> not Demon Souls or Bloodborne

edit: mixed it up with dark souls

Yeehaw, no launcher!

Now we just need to put this little cutie to the left of Sam and Nate:

FoH with this logic I guarantee you have a gaming PC. There are so many lies said on this forum for no reason. Noone in their right mind would be hyping up their platform of choice to be cannibalized by another platform. You are probably secretly praying Sony just goes 3rd party(which they most certainly will if they continue down this path) and release everything on the PC and says the hell with making meaningful hardware. Just say it with your chest instead of coming on here spewing obvious bs lol.


Speaking from pure logic, who would waste money on a Sony platform when you have a gaming PC or hell the steam deck and GeForce now/xcloud services ramping up when all of the games are coming to PC. The answer is only a fool,. You even eluded to it yourself in your post.

 

[MiguelItUp]

*Except Bloodborne, lmao.
