Sony has so far followed the strategy of waiting at least a year for its exclusive single-player titles before launching them on PC. The company's PC ports have been handled by veterans Nixxes Software, the Sony-owned studio that has worked on PC ports for first-party PlayStation titles like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Nixxes released Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC on March 21 and is set to release Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut on May 16.
