The release of Ghost of Tsushima back in 2020 put PlayStation studio Sucker Punch Productions on the map, elevating them to the upper echelon of first-party PlayStation developers.

The same leaker who revealed that Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut would be coming to PC has now revealed the next major PlayStation game set to make the jump. Given that Horizon: Forbidden West came to PC earlier this year, it should come as no surprise that Sony's other major 2022 exclusive, God of War: Ragnarök, is next on the list. 

The team at Arrowhead had quite the weekend, after scrambling to reverse a crucial decision from the game's publisher, Sony. In the immediate aftermath of PSN account linking being announced, it came to light that thousands of people had bought Helldivers 2 in countries where PSN is unavailable. To fix …

Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries. 

While PC players have always been able to link their Steam and PSN accounts for Helldivers 2, the system was not enforced by Arrowhead at launch, so many opted to skip it. Now, that is changing. Moving forward, all PC players for the game will have to link their Steam …

Sucker Punch Productions has always been one of PlayStation studios’ lesser-appreciated dev teams, with the Washington-based company releasing some of the most underrated games over the past many generations – including the excellent InFamous series. The team finally received their well-deserved flowers with the release of Ghost of Tsushima back in 2020 for the PlayStation 4. With the title finally set to come to PC, I wish to share with you just some of the MANY reasons as to why even in 2024, Ghost of Tsushima just hits DIFFERENT.
