Sony's push into PC gaming is pretty well-documented during the past few years, but the company looks like it wants to push even harder beyond its very own PlayStation ecosystem.

Push Square reports that a new page dedicated to PC gaming has been added to the official PlayStation website. As expected, you could see former PS exclusives in that page that are already available on PC - namely Horizon Zero Dawn, God Of War, and Days Gone, to name a few. There are also two titles in the "Coming Soon" tab: Marvel's Spider-Man and its sequel, Miles Morales, as well as the Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection.
For the upcoming Sony first-party games to PC, there were also a few release windows revealed in the new page. Miles Morales, for one, is said to launch on PC this Fall, which begins in September 22nd. This obviously follows the impending, heralded release of Spider-Man Remastered on Steam and Epic Games.
As for Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection (which was announced earlier this year after its initial launch on PS5), there's still no vague release window yet. It only says "2022" on its projected release, though it's been in the Steam and Epic Games Store databases for a while now. Surprisingly, The Last Of Us Part 1 is not included here even if Naughty Dog themselves have already confirmed its PC launch.
Either way, Sony delving even further into the PC gaming market is a godsend to so many PC gamers. A lot of the greatest triple-A blockbusters during the past few generations have released on PlayStation, which is why Sony basically won the 7th and 8th generations with the PS3 and PS4. This left PC gamers out in the cold, until the surprise announcement of Zero Dawn's PC port.
That decision basically opened the floodgates. Now, fans can look forward to more PS exclusives releasing on PC down the line. This is because of Sony's immense confidence in its PlayStation brand, meaning they feel they can expand their sales beyond their own consoles (via GamesIndustry). It's really just business at the end of the day - as a multi-billion-dollar company, Sony wants to make as much money as possible. And PC gamers are paying customers.

Other PlayStation Exclusives That MUST Come To PC
There are tons of Sony first-party games out there that still hasn't seen the light of day on PC. And believe us here at GameNGuide that we want them to - however long it may take for us to wait.

Here are the games that we hope Sony brings to PC down the line:
- Horizon Forbidden West - Forbidden West is actually part of the massive GeForce Now leak last year that saw multiple former PS exclusives teased for PC. As reported by AltChar, rumors say that the next chapter in Aloy's story will launch on PC one year after its release - that means February 2023, if the rumors are correct.
- Ghost Of Tsushima - Sucker Punch Productions' Feudal Japan is also part of the rumored upcoming releases, as numerous fans noticed how the "Only On PlayStation" indicator has been removed from the game's latest box art (via SportsKeeda). This is NOT a confirmation of a release by any means, but we'll be more than happy to welcome Jin Sakai in stunning native 4K with ray tracing. Oh yeah.
- Returnal - Recently, we reported that a rumored PC version of Returnal has added support for the Steam Deck. There were also screenshots of the game's purported PC graphics settings circulating online. But whether it's true or not, having the PS5 exclusive on PC is always going to be good for Sony's bottomline.
