God of Warmay be making its way to PC, if a tweaked website listing from PlayStation is anything to go by.

The official PlayStation website usually lists PS4 exclusives as ‘Only on PlayStation’, but it appears that this label is no longer on thewebsite pagefor 2018’s God of War – suggesting a move to another platform may be imminent.

All eyes are on PlayStation to announce more PC ports of hit PS4 games, afterHorizon Zero Dawn was confirmed for the PC platformin early March. We don’t expect to hear a God of War PC announcement quite so soon after, but it hints at what good news we may get to hear later in the year.

God of War was voted our best game of the year in 2018, and is an incredible showcase for both the standard PS4 and higher-spec PS4 Pro – with plenty of potential for souped-up PCs. There’s been lots of speculation around a newGod of War 2game, which we expect at this point would be exclusive to thePS5.

All about the games

Exclusivity is a big draw for both theXbox OneandPS4consoles, and that’s a fight that’s only going to continue with the next-genXbox Series XandPS5.

As much as some of us may like to pore over minute technical differences in console specs, the system architecture of the Xbox and PlayStation is more similar with every generation, and deciding which games are on what platform is largely arbitrary.

ButSonyhas a much better reputation on this count, withMarvel’s Spider-Man,The Last of Us 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, and God of War all making the PS4 the console to buy this generation.

Shifting thebest PS4 gamesonto PC could start to undermine that exclusivity, but after a few years, it makes sense to open up the game to a wider audience – and we’re hoping to see God of War and some of its PS4 siblings make the jump in the near future.
