WhenHorizon Zero Dawnlaunched in early 2017, it instantly became one of the PlayStation 4’s biggest games, with Aloy’s journey through a beautiful world full of robotic dinosaurs standing as something wholly unique and exciting. It garnered sensational review scores and was a soaring commercial success, cementing Guerilla’s first new IP in years as one to watch going forward. Yesterday,Horizon Zero Dawnwas confirmed to be coming to the PC, which was an exciting reveal for many, however, it seems not everyone shared in this incredibly big moment for non-console players.
While many would assume that the announcement would lead to a lot of significant excitement online, it seems a number of outraged PlayStation 4 owners are upset because the three-year-old exclusive game has opened up to a whole new platform of players. This has led to a sizable amount of petty tweets directed atGuerilla Games, with a small subset of fans seemingly outraged becauseHorizonwill no longer be just theirs to play.

The tweets range from straight-up anger to some level-headed responses about what this could mean for thePlayStation 4 librarygoing forward, however, it seems the former outnumber the latter when it comes to the replies on the original announcement on Twitter. One user calls Sony a “disgrace” for making the fairly inclusive decision, while a second threatens to sue PlayStation for including an “only on PlayStation” seal on theHorizonbox. A third even claims the port has destroyed 25 years of PlayStation, which is a bit overdramatic.
It’s also worth remembering that it’s good that big console providers like Sony are becoming more player-friendly in 2020. No doubt it’s nice to be able to play an exclusive that no one else is on any other console, but as the medium evolves, it only becomes more important for excellent titles likeHorizon Zero Dawnto be experienced by as many people as possible on a large variety of platforms. Regardless, it’s great to see a monumental number of fans will be able to get their hands onHorizon Zero Dawnfor the first time when it hits PC later this year.
Horizon Zero Dawnwill make its way to PC in summer 2020.
