More and more PlayStation games on PC
For several generations of consoles, PlayStation has won unanimous support with its exclusives. From the PS1 to the PS5, many cult games have only been released on Sony consoles. A major advantage in the face of competition, especially against Xbox, whose strategy is now quite distinct with its Xbox Game Pass.
But in recent years, more and more “ex-exclusives” PlayStation appear on another medium: the PC. A new temporary exclusivity strategy, which is a delight for players who do not have a PS4 or PS5. We can understand this, because these games often have major graphic advantages to make them want to (re) checkout.
Superior graphics quality on PC?
This January 14, God of War arrives on PC. While admiring the first images on the net, the players were all unanimous: the game is absolutely sublime. And even more than on PS4, according to many players.
Other games previously exclusive to the PS5 have received similar praise from gamers. We could quote Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone or Death Stranding. From there to saying that it is better to play games from studios under the aegis of Sony on a PC, there is only one step, which many players do not hesitate to take. Something to annoy PlayStation fans.
Beyond this sterile battle, the question of which medium to choose arises seriously. Should we wait for the release of PlayStation exclusives to play them on PC? Difficult to recommend for those who do not have a last generation PC, the only ones capable of offering performance beyond what is done on PS4 or PS5.
In the end, it’s the players who win
For those with a super-powered PC who want to enjoy games that look better than ever, waiting may be a good choice. But you have to take your pain patiently. Not all PlayStation exclusives are available on PC and some still took several years to find their way to Steam or other Epic Games Store. Especially since games very rarely come with real new features.
Finally, the most important thing is that a maximum of players can benefit from its nuggets, whatever the medium. Uncharted : Legacy of Thieves Collection will not make people jealous and will be released, at the same time on PS5 and PC, on January 28th.
