Rumour Sony has a 'new $50M Playstation PC Business'. So far received an estimated $7.5M of additional revenue from it.

PS4 ports incoming more and more likely.
God of War/Bloodborne for 2021. No reason to stop after Horizon Zero Dawn.
Hopefully more.

I think most on this forum knows its happening, we already have Queen being involved with the Bloodborne port, and atleast 5 other Sony games being mentioned being in the process of ported or planning.
The question more is when and how far apart will they be announced. A game like GoT can be ready and they sit on it for over a year.

I wonder if God of War will hit PC. Corey (the director) has himself said many times he wants the game on PC, but it's not up to him. It's a great game, also finished it, so I do hope Corey get's to release it on PC. Corey seems to just love video games all around regardless of what device he...

"i know bloodborne god of war and sushi are very much in there last stages and relatively can be announced whenever but i dont have that answer. last of us (mainly second one) is in line for nvidia effects possibly dlss and stuff like stranding. "
"that list above is ones very much finishing testing or close too and being actively worked recently "
2021 could be very exciting for PC gamers who appreciate Sony games.
$50m set aside for ports is... pretty good I guess. But obviously it depends on how thin they're spreading it.
Obviously some people are looking at this from the perspective that $50m is small from a development perspective, and I'd agree if they were making original content for PC. But they're not.
Seems like an eminently sensible amount to put towards exploring a new market and will no doubt be very lucrative for them.

What I can personally "divulge" is that folks ought to expect the wait in-between the release of new ports to reduce with every release. The timeline is planned to escalate, if you will.
Given enough success it'll also (likely, assuredly? Not sure what word I'd use given what I've heard but whatever!) become less of a "throw old shit on the platform" strategy and slowly align with new releases closing in on something that's close to day and date releases.
I can imagine that. In two three years time, things will be very different.
It's also just about all I know haha
Other than a plethora of things already mentioned (and then some! You go girl!) by Queen, anyway.
I FINALLY GOT MY FUCKING OMNIMON ON THE TEAM! HELL YEAH! 
I don't think it's $50mil just for ports, but they have to be a part of it, no way they have a separate budget for games not included in this.
Just don't cheap out anymore with the ports like Horizon. Do it yourself or put some real money on the porting job if it's handled to a 3rd party.
I don't think it's that either.
I said this in the steam thread earlier, but it reads to me like the 50 mil is the projected revenue for the "new pc business" for a given time.
Probably not more than 1.5 million USD. Porting is cheap and it's not a full-scale remaster or anything. No new assets.
Is the god danged loch ness monster listed in the credits?going by its quality i'd say ...
It's way too low. Unless all they have in store for PC is a single game, a single one.I don't think it's that either.

It makes more sense to view it as an initial investment like Mor said.
And it's more than enough to bring many games over. I don't think they will port big PS5 heavy hitters, but legacy PS4 titles with visual enhancements are more likely than ever.
Ready to give Sony my money if they want it.
Way too low compared to what, in what time frame? Quarterly, half-annually?
The single game that we have right now hasn't earned that much revenue, not even close (if the player estimates are somewhat right). It's not even half way there. I could very well see them forecast say an annual 50 mil revenue with it, because there's just the one game so far. We don't know when any of the other ports are getting released, maybe we get one per year for now, which would make $50 mil revenue annually pretty decent.
You have to keep in mind that these are not new games and are not sold at full price, and will not sell millions of units instantly.
Not saying I'm right, but it just looks right to me.

With reportedly so many PS4 ports in the work. I'm not sure that's the revenue forecast. A port per year would mean some games would release completely outdated on PC.Way too low compared to what, in what time frame? Quarterly, half-annually?
