Which PlayStation exclusive game would you like to see next on your PC?

The PC version of God of War is on the way. Uncharted 4 and its spin-off The Lost Legacy are in the same boat. Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone are already out, and it’ll only be a matter of time until Square Enix acknowledges and dates Final Fantasy 16’s PC release, as well as Final Fantasy 7 Remake. However, there are plenty of PS games that would fit on a PC, be suitable for mods, and run at 60 frames per second or higher on a high-end monitor. Which one are you hoping to get your hands on?

Christopher Livingston, Staff Writer: I guess I’m torn between playing baseball and swinging around Manhattan. MLB The Show or Spider-Man?

Shaun Prescott, AU Editor: As someone who also works on a PlayStation magazine, I actually own a PS5, so this question isn’t super-pertinent to me aside from the opportunities opened up by modding. But the answer has to be Bloodborne. The original PS4 game is a stone cold classic, one for the canon, and to see it with an unlocked framerate with (hopefully) no frame pacing issues is something I yearn for. I know I’m not alone: every time a new Sony game comes to PC, social media is awash with increasingly desperate requests for a Bloodborne port. Everyone wants it. Ask your elderly uncle who doesn’t play games what PlayStation game he wants for PC: he’ll say Bloodborne. Ask your cat. Everyone wants it, it simply has to happen. Nothing is as worthy of a PC spit and polish (except maybe Tokyo Jungle).

I can’t choose. Frankly, I shouldn’t have to choose. Give me both. Give me MLB The Show and Spider-Man, on PC. Both of them. Please.

Phil Savage, Editor-in-chief UK: Sure, there are a lot of PS4 games that I guess could come to PC. But there is a much bigger, weirder catalogue of stuff locked away on the PS2. Gitaroo Man is one of the better early rhythm games—miles ahead of Parappa the Rapper in that it is actually fun to play. You, a sad boy who gains alien guitar powers, go on a cosmic journey and fight monsters via an eclectic mix of genre rock. It’s varied, weird and good as hell and it deserves a wider audience via a PC release. While I’m wishlisting, let’s bring We Love Katamari over, too. Sure Katamari Damacy Reroll is already on PC, but the sequel manages to be a commentary on sequels that is also just a better game, and with a better soundtrack too.

Natalie Clayton, News Writer: I don’t have room for a PlayStation in my life, but Shadow of the Colossus is so entirely my vibe that I’m shocked I haven’t impulse-bought an old PS2 and a knackered second-hand copy of the game already. Every so often I’ll plug at a few bosses while visiting my PS4-owning pal down in London—and while I know folks have issues with the Bluepoint remaster, its bleak wilderness and sense of overwhelming isolation hit me like a truck every time. That said, playing one boss at a time over a decade is a bizarre way to experience anything, so c’mon. Do me a solid and let me feel sad over the corpse of a 10-storey behemoth from the comfort of my desktop, eh?

Naturally most of this era of PS2 exclusives could have come to PC at any time—it’s not like they’re even owned by Sony, so their exclusivity was more of convenience and the popularity of the platform than anything else. That means the fact they haven’t come over yet is a sign they likely never will. Oh well, at least we’ve got emulation.

Lauren Morton, Associate Editor: Demon’s Souls. I know everyone wants Bloodborne—and I almost feel honor-bound to agree in case the universe is listening—but I’m selfish. I’ve played Bloodborne. I had a grand time co-opping the entire thing with a friend, even. My track record with Horizon Zero Dawn and Monster Hunter World suggests that I won’t actually wind up playing a game a second time when it comes to PC. I’d rather take the FromSoftware game I haven’t played.

Tim Clark, Brand Director: As a former Official PlayStation Magazine editor I would just like to go on the record and say ‘neither of The Getaway games, please’. Jorge Jimenez, Hardware Writer: Give me Final Fantasy Tactics or give me death.

Tim Clark, Brand Director: Wait, let me switch my answer to Jorge’s. Give me Final Fantasy Tactics, or give me Jorge’s death. Morgan Park, Staff Writer: Top of my PlayStation exclusive wishlist is Dreams. God of War with DLSS sounds neat, but no PlayStation game would benefit from the PC ecosystem like Media Molecule’s unique game development platform. I’ve played hundreds of games in Dreams that range from impressive multi-hour adventure games to tiny, experimental stories that are endlessly charming. It’s a delightful platform for creation, and a proper PC version is an important step toward Media Molecule’s eventual goals of allowing creations to export out of Dreams itself, and even be sold commercially.

Steven Messner, Senior Reporter: Give me a Jak and Daxter trilogy remaster, you cowards! Long before Naughty Dog became obsessed with sad dads, it made a series of platformers not unlike Ratchet and Clank called Jak and Daxter that were amazing. The first one was a fairly standard collect-a-thon, but Jak 2 turned the series on its head by ripping pages out of Rockstar’s playbook and setting the whole game in a big, open-world city. I haven’t played it in years, so maybe it hasn’t aged well, but I remember Jak 2 (and 3, which was more like Jak meets Mad Max) being incredible games. I’d love to see Sony bring these to PC. It did release a remastered version for the PS3 eons ago, but why not do it again?
