According to this list:
https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-leaked-games-list-pc/
Hopefully those aren’t the only PlayStation titles to be released on pc, since only 4 of the Sony exclusives on the list haven’t been announced yet or unreleased (Ghost of Tsushima, GT7, demon souls, and Horizon Forbidden West. Based on what Sony has said, there are many many releases coming to pc.
I think the fact that a number of the titles on the list have already made their way from Sony to the PC gives the list some credibility and means there’s a chance that the rest of the titles will be released on the PC as well. However, for some reason I still question the release of GT7 on pc. It’s the one title I thought would never be released on pc considering there are already a number of car racing/driving titles on pc, and Forza Horizon as the main competition. But I hope that happens because I’m a GT fan. Not sure who else is for this, but I’m also hoping that at some point “MLB: the show” will also make its way onto pc. It’s already on gamepass, but it’s painful playing in through xcloud with all of the latency/lag making it impossible to compete in online mode.
OP and this is the best answer here, or most realistic one except Horizon won’t come until spring of next year (2 years exactly from launch on PS5). Sony isn’t going to do older games, souls fans will possibly get demon souls remake but I don’t see them going back to bloodbourne ever unless they remaster and rerelease it. They want to release games that they can charge $60-$70 for (without backlash and complaints) and I don’t think people would be cool paying that price for games that are perpetually $10-$20 on PS4/PS5 because of them being so old. If they were dipping into their backlog of earlier PS4 titles, then we would have seen them release Ratchet 2017 alongside Rift Apart. And there’s no way they will do PS3 games which aren’t even available on PS4/PS5 (short of a remake like TLOUP1), those games are lost to time thanks to the PowerPC-based Cell processor of the PS3 and Jim Ryan not having respect (or seeing the financial value) for PlayStation’s older games. Emulation or owning a PS3 yourself is the only way to play them sadly.
I agree that releasing single game titles from the back catalogue of ps3 and ps4 games and charging 60 or 70 bucks for them would be somewhat overpriced (unless they are remakes) but I think if they create packages of classic titles and release them for pc it would be feasible to charge 50-60$ for a collection. Example : all god of Wars (chains of Olympus, ghost of Sparta, 1 through 3, + ascension) infamous games including second son, all Gran turismos up to 6, all ratchet and clank up to Rift Apart, 3 uncharted games + a remastered of golden abyss etc etc etc).
If you package classic titles together and allow upscaling up to 4K on them, there’s no reason why they cannot be successful on Steam at a 50/60$ price range.
I personally would love to see older games on steam, I’m just thinking of the cost of porting it the titles to PC (and then only being able to charge $10-$20 coupled with the idea that they would likely sell worse than the likes of modern PS5 games with more hype). But at the same time, as often as they are porting games and as few new releases there have been on PS5, they are legitimately in danger of running out of PS5 games soon. The only first party game on the horizon is Spider-Man 2.
