Horizon Zero Dawn is the latest in a line of select PS4 exclusives which have made their way onto PCs.
Other PlayStation console exclusives such as Death Stranding and Detroit Become Human have also received PC ports.
While Persona 4 Golden, which for a long time was a PS Vita exclusive, also arrived on Steam in June.
However, if you think all PlayStation exclusives will be coming to PCs in future then think again.
Speaking earlier this year, Herman Hulst – PlayStation’s Head of Worldwide Studios – said: “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.
“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 per cent committed to dedicated hardware.”
