If you count Sony-published games from third-party studios (like Nioh, Nioh 2, Death Stranding and Quantic Dream's games) the total number is now comfortably in double figures, and would make a strong foundation for, say, a PC-based version of Sony's revamped Playstation Plus service.

'Sony is not promoting this service on PC at all and the message is clear: It's not meant for us (yet).'Īnother reason to celebrate Spidey's inswinging arrival is for the simple reason that it's yet another former Playstation exclusive (or two, if you count Miles Morales) to come to PC, and the port library is starting to look rather substantial. (Image credit: Sony / Rob Zak) The PS Now problem Unless Sony inexplicably shrinks its output over the coming years, that prognosis should far outnumber the eight remaining Sony games listed in the leak. This is supported by Sony's own projections (unveiled by Eurogamer) that by 2025 around 30% of its first-party game launches will be on PC (I arrived at that percentage by drawing two horizontal lines in MS Paint, as shown below which I believe qualifies as 'scientific method'). There will definitely be upcoming PC ports we've heard nothing about until now (which in turns gives us renewed hope, however glimmery, that one of those may be Bloodborne). So Spider-Man proves that while the leak is a good barometer for what Sony is bringing to PC, it by no means tells us what Sony is not bringing to PC.

Sony has a patchy relationship with Nvidia's cloud gaming platform neither Horizon: Zero Dawn nor Days Gone are on GeForce Now, and Sony Santa Monica announced just the other day-with no explanation-that God of War is being pulled from the service. Even though the leak has become an accurate predictor of future game releases, Spider-Man's absence from it shouldn't come as too much of a revelation. But perhaps that's more of a reality check than anything.

Then there's the fact that this is the first former PS-exclusive to be announced for PC that didn't appear in the GeForce Now leak.
