¿Will God of War follow the steps to PC?

The video game press turned to a discovery made by the DualShockers media, which could hint at the arrival of God of War on PC, losing its status as a PS4 exclusive title. This information is not based on leaked data or some type of statement, but rather a small detail that comes from the company's official page in the United States.¿ Can I give weight to this information? Let's go step by step.

This information ensures that God of War has lost, on the official website, its label of "Only on PlayStation" (Only on PlayStation), as it happened with video games such as Horizon Zero Dawn or Death Stranding, which will have their releases in PC this year. I can assure you that this is true, since in previous versions of the page the Sony Santa Monica game did carry this badge. But it is not something that happened yesterday or this week, since the phrase has been deleted for a long time. We would have to go back to 2016 to see it, and subsequent updates only included other data such as "PS4 Pro Enhanced", to report its visual improvements in the Pro version of the console.

Despite this, it is still curious that a work like God of War does not bear this distinctive when other exclusive titles such as Days Gone, Bloodborne or Uncharted 4 do wear it. It should also be noted that this fact occurs only in the United States version of the web, because if we take a walk through the official PlayStation page in Europe we will see this very beautiful label placed in the game. ¿What if it was just a small mistake by the United States website team? Let's take into account that God of War has been developed by Sony Santa Monica, that is, a first party studio owned by the Japanese company. This is not a title like Death Stranding that is carried out by an independent study of the company, and I would even dare to say that it is a much stronger union than the one that is maintained with Guerrilla Games and the case of Horizon Zero Dawn.

In short, if we had to base the theory of a God of War release on PC just now because this badge does not appear on one of the official PlayStation websites, it would seem completely insufficient to me. The causes could be multiple, so there is not much to scratch. Another different case is that of Dreams, for example, since the latest work by Media Molecule (which also does not bear the exclusive badge on this website) has already been the subject of multiple information and statements that speak of its possible release on other remote platforms. from PS4.

If we value the movement in commercial terms for Sony, it would not be unreasonable to think of a launch of God of War on PC, since it would be just as beneficial as that of Horizon Zero Dawn or Death Stranding. Think that Sony Santa Monica is probably working on the continuation of the game starring Kratos for PS5. ¿What better way to jump PC users to the new console than by allowing them to enjoy the previous work? In terms of users, it would be fabulous news that more players could enjoy one of the best works of the generation. But you have to wait to have something more solid than this small detail to get to theorize this movement, the truth.
