What you need to know

  • A GeForce Now database leak suggests that multiple PlayStation exclusives may eventually be playable on PC, either through Steam or with GeForce Now itself.
  • The PlayStation exclusives listed include God of War, Demon's Souls, Returnal, and the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West.
  • Currently, the only exclusive that features a specific mention of Steam is God of War.

A datamine leak of the NVIDIA GeForce Now database has revealed that multiple PlayStation exclusives may be releasing on PC at some point in the future. Titles spotted in the database include God of War, Demon's Souls, Returnal, and the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West.

It's important to note that the appearance of these games in the database doesn't confirm a PC port in any way. It's entirely possible that the games may be made exclusively available through GeForce Now as part of a potential deal between Sony and NVIDIA. It's also possible that GeForce Now has been used behind the scenes by developers for testing and development purposes, which is a practice that we've heard is not uncommon right now due to dev kit shortages and the work from home approach that many studios are taking. This would explain the appearance of these games in GeForce Now's database.

Nevertheless, it's still interesting that these games are listed within GeForce Now's database. Also, the listing for God of War specifically mentions Steam, which strongly suggests that even if games like Demon's Souls and Returnal don't get a full PC release, there's a good chance God of War will.

This news is exciting for PC players, despite the possibility that actual ports may never materialize. PlayStation exclusive titles are generally regarded as some of the best games available, and God of War in particular is often considered to be a masterpiece. If it is coming to Steam, PC fans will no doubt be interested. And even if games like Demon's Souls and Returnal aren't fully releasing on PC, the fact that some of the best PS5 games might be playable through GeForce Now is exciting. In the meantime, at least Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition and Days Gone are available.
