Please don't fuck up the PC port. Please don't fuck up the PC port. Please don't fuck up the PC port. Please don't fuck up the PC port.
- The first one definitely had performance issues, but aside from that it was a pretty decent port. Hopefully they learned from that.
  
  It was fine for me, as long as I used a controller. As soon as I started using a keyboard it would start lagging and eventually crash.
  
  It was pretty bad at launch, but it improved a bunch just over the time I was playing it.
Today it will be me to go on everyone's nerves with the obligatory
"When Bloodborne?
At this rate I will eventually emulate it on my PC.
- Every game eventually comes out for PC. Either via emulation, reverse engineering, leaks or official releases.
  Whether the developer/publisher gets paid for it is up to them.
- If I could bet a thousand eurobucks that it will be playable in some innacurate emulation form before a PC port is even announced, I would lol
  
  Well depending on how inaccurate you are willing to tolerate there is the demake.
  But that wasn't for me.
- It's even more frustrating because the performance is such a dumpster fire on PS4.
I'm very excited. I loved the first one and was really disappointed when Forbidden West was not announced for PC right away. I guess I got spoiled by Microsoft launching game on PC same day.
Sony has also been rumored to be considering a PlayStation PC launcher
Xbox has one so I don’t see why not
- Because that's what we need on PC; more launchers, more DRM.
  
  Microsoft is still on Steam, despite having their store built in to the OS. Sony launching a store doesn't inherently mean their games will disappear from other storefronts.
  What if they add it and enable cross platform for at least their games and subscription library, without abandoning Steam? There are ways it could be a positive.
  
  There would be DRM anyway for these games
- Here I was hoping it'll come to GOG like the Zero Dawn did
  
  I would've been more optimistic if the other Playstation games were on GOG but HZD stands alone over there.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sony is bringing Horizon Forbidden West to PC in early 2024 with help from in-house port developer Nixxes Software, which it acquired in 2021.
The news comes as Sony announces the “complete edition” of Horizon Forbidden West, which will also be available on the PS5 on October 5th.
This edition includes the base game, its Burning Shores expansion, and other add-ons like a digital art book and soundtrack.
The PC version will be available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Horizon Forbidden West picks up six months after the end of Horizon Zero Dawn, with an impressive world full of snowy mountains and jungle marshes to explore.
Sony first started using a PlayStation PC label in 2021, shortly after it acquired Nixxes.

Nice!
Got platinum for both games and really loved it! Such a beautiful game, glad more people get to enjoy it.
early next year

I've already beat this on PS5, I wonder if it's worth getting for the PC as well. I think I'll enjoy the keyboard and mouse layout a bit more.
- If the port is anything like ZD, K&M won't work.
  
  Oh wow, I did not know that was the case. Well, that makes it a clear decision then, thanks!
