Guerrilla Games’ critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn is officially heading to the PC in summer 2020, Sony has announced. However, the format holder has assured fans that it remains committed to ‘dedicated hardware,’ despite some of its biggest first-party titles coming to home computers.
Horizon Zero Dawn PC Confirmed
Newly-appointed Sony Worldwide Studios boss Hermen Hulst confirmed the news during a chinwag on the PlayStation Blog.
However, he made it clear that while more first-party titles may come to PC, there are no plans to to bring them out day and date with their PlayStation counterparts.
I think it’s important that we stay open to new ideas of how to introduce more people to PlayStation, and show people maybe what they’ve been missing out on.
And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn’t necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don’t have plans for day and date [PC releases], and we remain 100% committed to dedicated hardware.
He added:
We’re very committed to dedicated hardware, as we were before. We’re gonna continue to do that. And we’re very committed to quality exclusives. And to strong narrative-driven, single-player games.
At the same time, we’re going to be very open to experimentation, to new ideas. Just trying things out to see what works. I think that’s also very much part of the DNA of Worldwide Studios.
Horizon Zero Dawn came out for the PlayStation 4 back in 2017, and received an expansion later that year in the shape of the Frozen Wilds.
Rumours have circulate that Guerrilla Games is working on a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn for the PlayStation 5, although nothing official has been confirmed yet.
