Sony has so far followed the strategy of waiting at least a year for its exclusive single-player titles before launching them on PC. The company’s PC ports have been handled by veterans Nixxes Software, the Sony-owned studio that has worked on PC ports for first-party PlayStation titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Nixxes released Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC on March 21 and is set to release Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on May 16.
God of War (2018) was also ported to PC in 2022, following its PS4 launch in 2018. The sequel, God of War Ragnarok, came out on PS4 and PS5 in November 2022. Developers Santa Monia followed it up with a free DLC expansion, God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla, in December 2023. The game follows the adventures of the titular god of war Kratos and his son Atreus in the Norse realms.
