Sources Say Horizon Zero Dawn Is Coming To PC

The gorgeous open world game Horizon: Zero Dawn may be coming to PC - this year. 

Sources close to Kotaku have revealed that Sony may be porting their first party title to the PC platform later on this year thanks in part to Death Stranding

Death Stranding and Horizon: Zero Dawn share the same engine, Guerrilla's Decima Engine, and with Death Stranding also making its way to PC later this year. It's kind of easy to also port over Horizon. 

This isn't just good news for PC fans who have never played Horizon before, it's also good news for the developers of Horizon. Guerrilla Games has never developed titles on PC, they were a strictly console based developers. Now, with Horizon coming to PC, they can really show off what they can do on a technical level. While Horizon is a beautiful game, it was really limited by the PS4 hardware, therefore the frame rate was locked to 30 frames. On PC though, they don't have that limitation. 

If this game is a success on PC, I can picture Sony releasing more of their first-party library on the platform. It's works for MS so far. Every first-party Xbox title has gotten a PC release also.

Sony has been loosing its grip on their first-party titles. The Sony exclusive baseball game MLB: The Show, the only baseball game currently released that has the actual MLB license is now going to be on all platforms in 2021 - and will have cross play with those platforms. Death Stranding is another title. While it was developed by Kojima Productions, the PS4 version was published by Sony it self, and was once billed as a "Sony-published PS4 exclusive" is getting a PC version that's going to be by published by 505 Games. Also note that Sony did help in the production of Death Stranding

This could be the end of exclusives as we know it. At least when it comes to console vs PC. While I don't see Spider-Man coming to an Xbox any time soon, I do now see it possibly coming to PC in the future. 

And as a PC player, I love this. Horizon will be a day one purchase for me. Maybe Sony is finally realizing that it is no longer about "buy my platform to play my game", it's now about "here, play my game on whatever you choose". 

Personally, I like this new Sony. Now give me a Spider-Man

As always, this has been James with Game Fix. Game on everybody!
