Bloodborne sadly not one of these ports, apparently

A good number ofPlayStation gameswhich were previously exclusive toSony’s console could be in the works to be ported across to the PC, according to the latest on the gaming grapevine – which, of course,Sony has more or less said itself in the past– but it doesn’t seem likeBloodborneis one of them.

That’s the conclusion drawn by a renown dataminer, Lance McDonald, who shared his thoughts on the forthcoming ports on Twitter, asWccftechspotted.

If Bloodborne gets announced for PC, I’d love to smugly say “I secretly knew all about this!” but it would be a lie. I am aware of multiple upcoming PC ports of PlayStation exclusive games, but sadly none are Bloodborne. However I still have hope it’ll just come out of nowhere.July 14, 2021

McDonald notes that he is “aware of multiple upcoming PC ports of PlayStation exclusive games”, but that none of these are Bloodborne. He’s also a modder and hacker who produced an unofficial patch for Bloodborne to get the game running at 60 frames per second on PS4 Pro, hence the connection and specific mention of the game.

Essentially, given that therumor mill is persistentlyfloating theidea that a Bloodborne remasteris in the cards and coming to PC (and indeedPS5) on a regular basis, McDonald felt the need to clarify that he doesn’t think this is happening going by what he’s heard – ie nothing – with his ear to the ground.

That said, McDonald still lives in hope that “it’ll just come out of nowhere”.

Faith, no more?

Bloodborne is widely looked upon as one of thebest games for the PS4, so it’s unsurprising that there’s a whole lot of clamor to see the game ported to PC – and potential temptation for rumor peddlers to capitalize on that, of course, by fabricating their own whispers.

Folks in general are losing faith at the number of such pieces of Bloodborne speculation, and the cynicism is running so high these days it’s at a point where we’ve seen a ‘Bloodborne Remastered Rumor Generator’ appear onTwitter, which allows you to generate your very own Bloodborne rumor (viaGame Rant).

Bloodborne has NOT been announced for PC as of 15/07/2021.July 14, 2021

As to what the multiple PlayStation ports which are in the pipeline might be, no specific games are mentioned by McDonald, but we’ve already heard thatUncharted 4 is likely to be one of them, andmaybe also God of War. Mind you,God of Warcan already kind of be played on PC, at leastvia PlayStation Now streaming.
