The PC offering has been notably absent from Sony's publicity push with PS Plus there's no word on long-overdue PS5 controller support for PS Now/Plus Premium, and there's been no attempt to sugarcoat the raw deal PC-only subscribers would get. That may sound like a hypothetical, but the risibly crap situation that Sony's merging of Playstation Now into Playstation Plus will leave PC players in come June 22-putting them onto the most expensive 'Premium' Playstation Plus tier while missing out on all of the console-only benefits-suggests to me that this is transitory, and that a better solution for PC is in the pipeline. If you count Sony-published games from third-party studios (like Nioh, Nioh 2, Death Stranding and Quantic Dream's games) the total number is now comfortably in double figures, and would make a strong foundation for, say, a PC-based version of Sony's revamped Playstation Plus service. "Sony is not promoting this service on PC at all and the message is clear: It's not meant for us (yet)."Īnother reason to celebrate Spidey's inswinging arrival is for the simple reason that it's yet another former Playstation exclusive (or two, if you count Miles Morales) to come to PC, and the port library is starting to look rather substantial. (Image credit: Sony / Rob Zak) The PS Now problem Unless Sony inexplicably shrinks its output over the coming years, that prognosis should far outnumber the eight remaining Sony games listed in the leak. This is supported by Sony's own projections (unveiled by Eurogamer) that by 2025 around 30% of its first-party game launches will be on PC (I arrived at that percentage by drawing two horizontal lines in MS Paint, as shown below which I believe qualifies as 'scientific method'). There will definitely be upcoming PC ports we've heard nothing about until now (which in turns gives us renewed hope, however glimmery, that one of those may be Bloodborne). So Spider-Man proves that while the leak is a good barometer for what Sony is bringing to PC, it by no means tells us what Sony is not bringing to PC. Sony has a patchy relationship with Nvidia's cloud gaming platform neither Horizon: Zero Dawn nor Days Gone are on GeForce Now, and Sony Santa Monica announced just the other day-with no explanation-that God of War is being pulled from the service. Even though the leak has become an accurate predictor of future game releases, Spider-Man's absence from it shouldn't come as too much of a revelation. But perhaps that's more of a reality check than anything.

The Quest Pro is available to pre-order (opens in new tab) now, and Meta says they'll start shipping later this month.Then there's the fact that this is the first former PS-exclusive to be announced for PC that didn't appear in the GeForce Now leak. For everyone else, a $1,500 gaming PC would be a lot more exciting than an enterprise-grade VR headset, given that the much cheaper Meta Quest 2 provides a good experience if you're going to hook it up to your PC to play Half-Life Alyx anyway. It was built to serve the vision behind Facebook's "metaverse" rebrand, not for playing Bonelab (opens in new tab), and I suspect the only gamers who'll be buying them are those who already spend thousands of dollars on custom F1 race car simulation rigs. "Partial light blocker" attachments are included, but "full light blocker" attachments will be sold separately later this year.Īt $1,500, the Quest Pro may succeed or fail depending on whether architects and engineers actually find it useful to hang out in empty lofts projecting diagrams into the space between them. The Quest Pro also lets peripheral light in so that you can see where you're going, a feature which reflects its office productivity orientation. The Quest Pro battery life is shorter than the Quest 2 battery life: just one to two hours, says Tom's Guide, although you can use it while it's plugged in. The 128GB Quest 2 is currently $399 and the 256GB model is $499. Compared to the $800 HTC Vive Pro 2 or Valve's $999 Index, which uses wires and external sensors, the Quest 2 has obviously been the more practical, affordable choice, and that remained true even after Meta increased the prices of both Quest 2 models by $100.
Aside from its all-in-oneness, price is one of the main reasons we've recommended the Quest 2. If it all works as advertised-our friends at Tom's Guide were impressed (opens in new tab) with their demo-it sounds like a great headset, but likely too expensive to recommend for gaming.
