Sony has confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC and will launch this summer. The news was revealed in a Q&A with Head of PlayStation Worldwide Studios Herman Hulst.
Following rumors that the Guerilla Games developed open-world action game would be coming to PC, Hulst said that more news regarding the release will be coming soon from the studio directly.
“Yes, I can confirm that Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC this summer,” said Hulst. “There will be more information coming from Guerrilla, from the new studio directors [Michiel van der Leeuw, JB van Beek, and Angie Smets] pretty soon.”
Hulst mentions that Horizon Zero Dawn seemed like a good fit for publishing on PC, but stressed that this didn’t automatically mean that all Sony exclusives are bound to be ported too.
“I think it’s important that we stay open to new ideas of how to introduce more people to PlayStation, and show people maybe what they’ve been missing out on,” Hulst added. “And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn’t necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don’t have plans for day and date [PC releases], and we remain 100% committed to dedicated hardware.”
The Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is already listed on Steam, and includes both the base game and the Frozen Wilds expansion. The collection will also include several in-game items:
Horizon Zero Dawn originally launched in 2017 for PS4, and remains one of the best exclusives on the platform to date. In our original 8/10 review for the game, critic Peter Brown wrote, ” For every minor imperfection, there’s an element of greatness that recharges your desire to keep fighting and exploring Zero Dawn’s beautiful and perilous world. Guerrilla Games has delivered one of the best open-world games of this generation, and redefined its team’s reputation in the process.”
