Afterward, the acclaimed God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man were ported in January and August 2022.

Ghost of Tsushima is the next first-party Sony game coming to PC, though this news hasn't come without its share of backlash.

In a post on Twitter, user KJovian shared screenshots from the Steam community forum. In the images, fans can be seen complaining about PC gamers, accusing them of being the cause behind Sony's decision to port more first-party games due to their incessant requests.

This thread has garnered over 500 comments, though most are «jester» emotes.

Other frustrated PlayStation fans can be found on the official PlayStation blog that announced the news about Ghost of Tsushima. A few rare thank Nixxes, claiming the company enables PC players to enjoy these games.

For better or worse, Ghost of Tsushima will arrive on PC
