One of the largest ongoing trends for PlayStation over the past year is the growing number of its exclusive titles being translated to PC. Despite many of its titles & IPs being unique to its consoles for two decades, the firm is taking a note from Microsoft with featured releases on Steam. 2022 remains its most active year yet which kicked off with God of War this past January.
Not to mention the growing list that followed as well – Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This is to continue onward in 2023 with both The Last of Us Part I alongside Returnal which both received dates at this month’s The Game Awards.
But, it’s not concrete for every single PlayStation title. According to an interview with Dengeki Online, Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi expressed that there is no work on a PC version. Twitter user @Genki_JPN fortunately translated the exchange which you can view below:
“That is not true,” Yamauchi says in response to recent reports. “Regarding a PC version, I replied ‘[as a developer] it’s not that I haven’t considered all the possibilities’. That means that the possibility is not zero, simply if you ask me ‘are you doing anything concrete?’ I am not doing anything. There is nothing to talk about.”
As noted already, the PlayStation firm has no intent in slowing things now. This is further illustrated with the recent opening of ‘PlayStation PC’ on the official website. The webpage lists multiple titles on Steam available on PC. You can read the full report by heading here.
