The PlayStation Studios Steam Curator page says the company has a total of 41 items available, but the numbers don't add up.

Sony finally launched the PlayStation Studios Steam Curator page today. This page displays a total of 41 items under PlayStation's 'My Games' statistic, but some of these items appear to be hidden as of writing, which could mean some ports have yet to be revealed.

Steam Curator pages allow companies and individuals to put a spotlight on games, DLC packs, and other content available for purchase on Steam. At present, the only PlayStation PC titles interested fans can buy are Days GoneHorizon Zero Dawn, Helldivers, and Predator: Hunting Grounds--and Days Gone for PC won't actually be available until May 17. The game's Steam page is already up and fans can pre-order it for $49.99 USD.

Generally, companies use their Steam Curator pages to draw attention to their own properties, which are often bundled together in a single digital storefront. Right now, only 24 items appear to be available on PlayStation's Steam Curator storefront: about 21 pieces of DLC and 4 games. Since the company has been investing in--and giving PC ports to--more and more first-party PlayStation games, fans might be able to predict which games have appeared so far.

Of the other titles being featured on the PlayStation Studios Curator Page, both Helldivers and Predator: Hunting Grounds come with a ton of DLC options, but not enough to make up the difference between the 41 items listed and the number gamers can actually see. This implies that PlayStation is sitting on a lot of future PC ports for more of its beloved games. Assuming that the company will start with properties that are already popular, players could soon have a chance to play PlayStation-exclusive classics like The Last of Us or Bloodborne on PC without having to jump through so many hoops.

There is a distinct possibility that the Curator Page is simply displaying a listing error and PlayStation doesn't have a hoard of potential PC ports waiting in the wings. However, the listing has remained unchanged for most of the day and PlayStation has yet to address the issue, so it's also very possible that this was intended. Either way, gamers everywhere are sitting on the edge of their seats, holding their breath as they wait to see what PlayStation has in store for this push onto PC. The PC port of Days Gone, though lacking a few features, has already gone from a distant dream to a very real release. There's no telling what other PC ports PlayStation could be working on right now.
