Ghost of Tsushima's success on PC is notable despite Sony's policy requiring a PlayStation Network account for online multiplayer and the PlayStation overlay. As a result, the game isn't available in countries where PlayStation Network is inaccessible.
In 2021, Sony acquired Nixxes Software, a PC port specialist, that handled the highly praised PC version of Ghost of Tsushima. Sucker Punch, the game's developer, expressed gratitude to Nixxes on Twitter, praising their exceptional work on the port. "Your technical expertise has been invaluable in making our first-ever PC release a reality," they stated. "We couldn't have asked for a better partner."
With the success of Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and Spider-Man on PC, there's growing speculation about which high-profile PlayStation exclusive will be ported next. A recent report suggests that God of War: Ragnarok will be the next PlayStation exclusive to debut on PC, while fans of Bloodborne remain hopeful.
