Since the announcement of the PS5, Sony has actively promoted the SSD technology that's helped make its newest console so much faster than its predecessor. This, however, doesn't guarantee that every game from the console's fledgling library will be able to land on PC straight away, due to some technical design quirks within the PS5's hardware. So far the leak has accurately preemptively revealed a number of announcements like the God of War re-release, which means all manner of games like Demon's Soulsand Returnal could be set to arrive on the platform at some point in the near future. If the recent Nvidia database leak is to be believed, PlayStation exclusives built specifically for the PS5 won't be exempt from receiving the PC port treatment.

Cory Barlog's teasing tweets that gave his seal of approval to the idea several years ago further added to an overall sense of inevitability on the subject. In many ways, the arrival of Santa Monica Studio's God of War on PC was almost guaranteed from the moment the publisher set its sights on the platform. This week's news that PlayStation has renamed its previously confusing PS Mobile label to better reflect its PC endeavors is just the latest piece of evidence that points directly to Sony's expanded commitments.

Over the course of the last 18 months, the publisher has taken a number of important steps that have hinted at this becoming a reality, like the acquisition of renowned porting experts Nixxes.

Now that one of Sony's most critically and commercially acclaimed first party games is making its way to the platform, it's hard to imagine more not following in its wake. God of War 2018's upcoming PC port could mark a significant point in PlayStation's long history.
