PlayStation has been steadily advancing its strategy regarding PC gaming over the past few years. This trend began in 2020 with the release of *Horizon Zero Dawn*, and has intensified as the company has methodically transitioned numerous first-party intellectual properties to platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store. Titles including *Uncharted*, *God of War*, *Ghost of Tsushima*, *Marvel’s Spider-Man*, *The Last of Us*, *Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart*, and *Days Gone* have all made their way to PC gamers, illustrating PlayStation’s commitment to broadening its audience.
In the last year alone, we’ve seen significant titles like *God of War Ragnarok* and *Helldivers 2* grace the PC platform, with the latter making its debut simultaneously with its console version. This approach signals a pivotal shift in PlayStation’s PC strategy, enabling live-service games to launch concurrently on both PC and PS5. Looking ahead, there are exciting developments on the horizon, as two major game ports are set to release in January 2025.
