Original message: According to a report by Kotaku, Horizon Zero Dawn is released for PC. Three sources that are privy to Sony's plans are said to have anonymously confirmed to the magazine.
Horizon Zero Dawn actually comes from the developer Guerrila Games, which belongs to Sony. So the fact that the title should no longer be exclusive is a big surprise and possibly an indication that Sony wants to be more open in the future and less rely on exclusive games.
Allegedly release for Steam and Epic
According to the report, Horizon will be released for Steam and the Epic Store. In addition, Schreier expects that the limit of 30 fps will be lifted. The PC announcement of Death Stranding, which will find its way from the PS4 to the new platform this year, was similarly surprising. Both games share the Decima Engine, which is why Guerrilla Games helped Kojima Productions with the development. Technically, a PC release for Horizon should be feasible.
The open world game was released in February 2017 exclusively for the PS4 and won with bow and arrowFight against giant robot dinosaurs, an interesting end-time story and a visually appealing game world, many gamers' hearts and also critics for themselves. The GamePro colleagues awarded as a rating 90 percent

The sources insisted on anonymitybecause they weren't authorized to speak to the press. An official statement from Sony to Kotaku does not yet exist. We also ask and add the answer here as soon as we have it.
The info comes from Jason Schreier, who is considered very credible due to his often precise predictions and numerous insider contacts within the industry. For example, he wrote background reports on Dragon Age 4 or the turbulent development of Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem.
