This year Sony will have released quite a few games on PC. Quite a few more than what was expected TBH. Which ones do you think will be released next year? There's a few ones all but confirmed on the horizon (no pun intended) but my best guess is the following:

In no particular order:

- Last of Us Part 1
- Returnal
- Last of Us Factions (PC/PS4/5 launch)
- Demons Souls
- Gran Turismo 7
- Ghosts of Tsushima

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I picked about half the list. Also includes Other (Baseball).

 

[nocsi]

Returnal is a given since they showed off a build at GDC. Dreams has been rumored. Ratchet and Clank is a big possibility. Last of Us Part 1 is also very likely.

 

[Walter Matthau]

Returnal is a lock. Might even release this year.

 

[bender]

Knack, The Order 1886, Haze Remaster

 

[nominedomine]

I think sales for Bloodborne and Demon's Souls would be great on PC, specially if Sony times it right. Dreams would benefit a lot from being on PC too, it could be huge for the game.

So far it looks like Sony is going out of their way to not port the games that make the most sense.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I'm starting to think returnal isn't this year. Sony seems to be about to release games 2 years after their PS5 debut so...i'd say something like this:

- Sackboy - October
- Miles Morales - Fall
- Returnal - Early 2023
- Last of Us Part 1 - March / April 2023...whenever the TV show starts.
- Ratchet & Clank 2016 - It was on that Epic leak (i think it was Epic)
- Ghost of Tsushima - Mid 2023
- Demon's Souls - later 2023
- maybe some older PS4 games?

2024 we'll start to see GT7, Forbidden West, etc...that would be my bet.

 

[darrylgorn]

I can't imagine they would want to stop exclusivity on Gran Turismo or Jak and Daxter as it's such a seminal part of the Sony brand. Though I am very surprised by the Sackboy release.

i doubt R&C since it's meant to be a showpiece for the PS5 more than anything, kind of takes away the wow factor when you port it to PC

 

[HTK]

A lot of wishful thinking in this poll.

 

[ACESHIGH]

It would be great if they time GT7 releasing at the same time Forza 8 does but GT7 would look bad by comparison being cross gen and all.

 

[sendit]

This year Sony will have released quite a few games on PC.

The only game Sony released this year for PC is Spiderman 1. Uncharted 4 doesn't release until October 18th. Your definition of quite a few is totally different than mine. However, from that list, Returnal is a given.

 

[CrustyBritches]

TLOU Remake, GoT, Returnal, and GT7 in 2023. Then R&C Rift Apart, TLOU 2, Horizon Forbidden West, and GoW Ragnarok in 2024.

You can say that about any of the games they’ve ported. But it’d follow their doctrine of being a gateway franchise. Sonys next showcase stuff is VR2 anyways, gotta keep innovating to draw people.

 

[jhjfss]

 

[ManaByte]

 

[SlimySnake]

Everything except for early last gen games like TLG, Uncharted, Infamous and Bloodborne.

- Demon souls
- GT7
- Returnal
- Ratchet
- Horizon
- TLOU 1 & 2
- GOW Ragnorak

Factions isnt coming out next year. They wouldve revealed gameplay by now.

 

[remember_spinal]

I guess everyone is conveniently forgetting Helldivers 2 already leaked, twice?

Part 1 was already announced for PC

I don't think these are coming but would love to see Ueda's games freed from Sony's grasp

Also Sony taking Bloodborne as an exclusive and then doing nothing for it all these years in the face of high demand is disgusting.
They need to put it in the hands of PC players.

most of the games they've ported have been PS4 exclusives, infact im pretty sure they haven't ported a single PS5 exclusive. It's very silly to think they'd start porting PS5 exclusives in 2023 all of a sudden

 

[bitbydeath]

Next years lineup hasn’t been shown yet, it will be shown at Sony’s Showcase which is now rumoured for next month.

 

[Sanepar]

Returnal will come this year.

Just get a PS5 then, it’s cheaper than a GPU. Kinda weird to be seeing pc players demanding anything lol.

You kinda have to intuit their overarching strategy in the PC space. It’s one dimensional to think Sony is trying to go about it by just separating exclusives, but rather using it as a vessel to get pc players into the Sony ecosystem. Ratchet & Clank is apart of that. Another poster mentioned leaks for Ratchet & Clank coming to PC anyways. Using your same argument, is returnal not a PS5 exclusive and it has a PC build being demoed at GDC? Sony isn’t going to devalue you with their PC initiatives, it’s a process as a part of a greater strategy for customer acquisition

I have a PS5, and bloodborne performs on it the exact same as it did on base PS4. If it were in the hands of PC players the modding community would have made many performance improvements by now.

Word of advice. You probably don’t want to be playing souls games on PC, it’s kinda bareback sex. And bloodborne performs in accordance to its setting, you think 19th century steampunk London was 60fps?

The only strategy is timing their releases to avoid cannibalization between them. Like it may happen with with Uncharted and Spiderman releasing so close (with a third party batman game in the middle)

But the "luring" strategy has been debunked. They can make good money releasing these ports and it won't impact the playstation playerbase. No hardcore PC gamer (the audience that plays these games on a steam Deck or tries to run them at 4k 60) will buy a PS5 to eventually use it as their main platform.

Last of us was announced for PC . It’s not a rumour



If anything I am expecting it around dec/ nov with Miles morales


Back tI topic :
GT7 will never hit the pc

Returnal is expected
Expecting the last of us 2 next year for sure .
Horizon forbidden west if not 2023 will be 2024
Collection of ps4 games . Like uncharted collection

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

All of them should be an option.

 

[tommib]

All except Bloodborne.

 

[remember_spinal]

All except Bloodborne.

 

[existensmaximum]

Guys, Bloodborne isn't coming. Just accept it.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Look at those games, damn. It's hard not to be a Ps fan boy

 

[Cyberpunkd]

So far it looks like Sony is going out of their way to not port the games that make the most sense.

You can play them by buying a PS5 - Sony.

 

[nominedomine]

Hardly the case for Bloodborne, you also don't get M&K support in Dreams as you would on PC. To me once they started porting games they should at least figure out the games that fit PC the most so that they could prioritize them.

Sony clearly doesn't care too much about pushing people that rather play on PC to buy a PS5 at this point anymore (and it was obviously the right call since it didn't seem to negatively affect console sales).

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Please let Dreams with cross play and a PS5 update be one of them! Please!

 

[GreatnessRD]

I picked about half the list. Also includes Other (Baseball).

Do not sell me hope! DON'T YOU DO IT, STREETS OF BEIGE! DON'T YOU FUCKING DO IT!

 

[SmokedMeat]

Ghosts of Tsushima
Returnal
Demons Souls
The Last of Us
The Last of Us 2
Horizon FW
God of War Ragnarok
Ratchet and Clank

2023 will see the shift to PS5 ports.

Bloodborne won’t happen until it’s remade for PS6.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Returnal is guaranteed, which makes the 19% who didn't vote for it kinda funny.

 

[yurinka]

Sony had a graph where seemingly they mentioned that they planned to release 4 PC ports in the current fiscal year and as I remember 7 in the fiscal year that ends in 2026.

So I think they'll release 4 or 5 PC releases in 2023. If I had to bet they would be:

• TLOU Part 1
• Ghost of Tsushima
• Ratchet 2016
• Bloodborne (being more realistic I think they will release Returnal instead)
• Dreams (they may release a PSVR2 version for it, and use that work to maybe also make a PC port)

I also think they'll release MLB but that would be published on PC by MLB and not Sony.

 

[Sentenza]

Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet & Clank (unspecified which one, but probably the 2016 remake) and Demon's Souls have been rumored/spotted in "leak" lists already in the past, so they are some of the most obvious choices.

That aside, it's easy to guess that pretty much any major release/big sequel is open for a port at this point (TLOU 2, Ragnarok, FW, etc) and the question is a "when" rather than a "if".

 

[chixdiggit]

GT7 will never hit the pc

Any reason you think that? Not arguing, just curious.

 

[GymWolf]

 

[Russell]

Hopefully none.

 

[Larxia]

Even in an imaginary list like this there isn't Gravity Rush

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I think TLOU Factions will end up being the first day and date console and PC launch.
But it'll be one of the GaaS MP exceptions, and Playstations AAA SP games will still just come to PS5 first.

Returnal, Factions, Ratchet rift apart, and ghost of tsushima (sequel is coming so it's gotta come to pc). The bloodborne/demon's souls will remain off pc to drive pc peeps crazy.

We know Returnal is coming so all the people in denial saying it was just PS4 games can start dealing with it.

Now it's only a matter of how long the window between PS5 and PC is going to be and if there is going to be a window at all.

What happens once they start experimenting with day one release on PC and see that it doesn't affect PS sales that much? That's pretty much how the whole thing about PC ports started.

 

[Haggard]

Now it's only a matter of how long the window between PS5 and PC is going to be and if there is going to be a window at all.

Aside from maybe their GaaS there will always be some time between the PC and PS releases. They simply make more money per sale on PS, so that "premium" new game day one thing will be kept to PS platforms.....
Or they switch their monetarization scheme in the direction of MTX and stop caring about initial revenue..but let`s hope that never happens.
