Jason Schreier: Sony's Horizon coming to PC later this year

Considering it is a 3 year old game, it's not that big a deal, IF this turns out to be real. And not just PS Now, but native support. I could see Sony releasing an exclusive on the PS5, then maybe 1-2 years later, they release the PC version. Then, again, this could just be Sony putting Horizon on PC to get PC players interested in the sequel, which will only be on PS5.

Now, if Sony does something foolish like releasing on PC at the exact same time, I think it will hurt PS5 sales.

Not a big deal?

When Nintendo put their IPs on smart devices everybody declared Nintendo's doom.

Sony will do PC day 1 releases if MS starts to take a lead in the Sub wars. The PC-XB-PS porting ecosystem is pretty well established so Sony is likely sitting on plenty of PC versions.

Hate to disappoint some of the vocal Sony fans but this move will mean absolutely zero to the FIFA, CoD and Fortnite crowd who value the simplicity of the console experience. Sony's legacy brand power will see them through for now.

Edit: It's possible that this could just be Sony putting a cat amongst the pigeons to cause a bit of FUD.
