Horizon Forbidden West is the upcoming follow-up to Sony's enormously successful Horizon Zero Dawn. Aloy will be back on a new adventure that is likely to find itself on lists of the highest-rated PlayStation 5 games of the year. The first title was so successful that it was something of a surprise when Sony opted to bring the game to Steam as a way of exploring how tentpole titles would fare on the PC platform.
The game's success on PC now has been players wondering if Horizon Forbidden West will be making its way to the platform as well. Unfortunately, it's not good news for people who prefer to play their game on PC instead of consoles. It would appear that, for now, Horizon Forbidden West will not be coming to PC.

Horizon Forbidden West will be a PlayStation exclusive, coming to the PS5 and the PS4, but not to other platforms. This is understandable, as Sony has stated that the company has no intention of doing simultaneous releases on PC with their largest titles. This doesn't mean that the game will never end up on PC, however. After all, the company has recently released Days Gone on PC.
A PlayStation Studios Steam page has been set up, strongly hinting that even more titles will be on the way to PC, and with the Horizon series already having a presence on the platform, it is logical to assume that the next installment will make its way to the platform at some point. Realistically, it is likely to be years down the line as there was a three-year gap between Horizon Zero Dawn launching on PlayStation and arriving on PC.
For excited fans who are waiting to play the game on their preferred platform, all there is to do is fill the time with some interesting games. At the moment, the release date for Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation is still unknown, although a 2021 date has been confirmed by Sony. Sony's future approach to PC release is also something of a mystery.
A recent investor report has shown that Uncharted 4 could be the next game Sony brings to PC, undoubtedly to tie into the release of the upcoming Uncharted movie. This would certainly prove that Sony is very serious about leveraging the incredible power of some of gaming's biggest titles on a whole new platform, something that will no doubt make PC gamers incredibly happy.
Horizon Forbidden West will launch for PS4 and PS5 in 2021.
