14 DAY TRIAL // Amazing news for PC gamers, as Sony's Bend Studio has just confirmed Days Gone is headed to their favorite platform. Exclusively available on the PlayStation 4, Days Gone is an action-adventure survival horror that made its debut about two years ago.
The game received mixed or average reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic, although Days Gone was the best selling physical game in the UK in the week of release. In fact, the game continued to be the best-selling software release in all the format sales charts for three consecutive weeks.
Anyway, if you've been dying to play Days Gone on PC, Bend Studio announced the game will land on this platform sometime this spring and promised to offer more details on the release very soon, so stay tuned on that.
Days Gone would be the third major PS4 exclusive that is being ported on PC after Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn, but it appears that Sony won't stop here. According to the Japanese giant, development costs have risen in the last couple of years and don't allow Sony to keep a game exclusive to its own console for too long without risking huge losses.
During an interview with British GQ, Sony president and chief executive officer Jim Ryan implied that more exclusive PS4 games might be ported to PC in the future, and he explained why the sudden change in tune:
“We find ourselves now in early 2021 with our development studios and the games that they make in better shape than they’ve ever been before. Particularly from the latter half of the PS4 cycle our studios made some wonderful, great games. There’s an opportunity to expose those great games to a wider audience and recognize the economics of game development, which are not always straightforward. The cost of making games goes up with each cycle, as the caliber of the IP has improved.”
Bloodborne is one of the exclusive PS4 games that have been rumored to come to PC for a very long time. Today's announcement makes it even more plausible for Bloodborne fans to get what they have been waiting for.
