PlayStation PC ports have been released steadily these past few years, and it seems like the process to get any approved is relatively straightforward if the port doesn't cost much to develop.
According to leaked documents that emerged online today following a ransomware attack against Insomniac Games, as reported on the ResetERA forums, any port that requires less than $30 million to develop only requires email approval to get funded. This was the case with the Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart port, which cost far less than $30 million.
Speaking about PlayStation PC ports, some of them have done extremely well on the market. Another leaked document reveals how Horizon: Zero Dawn is the best-selling port with over 3 million units sold, followed by God of War and Days Gone. As for future unannounced ports, the documents reveal none of them, although other files in the leak confirmed how there already are PC builds for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Marvel's Wolverine.
Given how easy it would be to get funding for PlayStation PC ports if they don't cost over $30 million, it is surprising how Bloodborne is still not getting ported. Given the game's technical issues, however, it is likely a port would be complicated and require much effort and funds to be pulled off. A PC port of one of FromSoftware's most unique titles has been rumored for a very long time, but nothing has materialized so far.
The next major PlayStation PC port coming next year is Horizon Forbidden West. You can learn more about the second entry in the series by checking out our review.
