Demon’s Soul was the first iteration of the series that led on to the hugely successful Dark Souls franchise. Its remake aims to duplicate the challenging brutality of the original through a system built entirely from the ground up, enhanced with what developer Bluepoint Games calls “Fractured Mode.” This naturally prompts questions about a potential PC release date.
Although it launched as a PlayStation exclusive, the passage of time has made the prospect of a potential Demon’s Souls PC release date more likely, thanks to Sony finally being open to gradually bringing its games to the platform.
Demon's Souls Remake PC Release Date
In recent years, we’ve seen a growing number of PlayStation exclusives make the jump over to PC. PlayStation Plus, Sony’s take on Microsoft’s PC Game Pass, also allows PC players to stream games if subscribed to its Premium Tier.
But despite several titles shedding PlayStation exclusivity, we haven’t heard much about a potential Demon’s Souls remake PC release date so far.
- Demon's Souls remake PC release date: TBA
Initially, this could have been attributed to Sony’s PC efforts being focused on bringing PS4 titles over first. But given how Returnal is now primed for a February 2023 PC launch, things might be slowly changing.
Of course, it’s hard to say when we might learn more about a Demon’s Souls remake PC release date without an official announcement or teaser from its publisher. That, however, is far more likely to happen now than it was a couple of years ago.
In an interview from May 2023 with Famitsu, translated by ResetEra, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan suggested that, while PC ports remain part of the company’s strategy, they may continue to launch years after the PS5 versions.
“We also fully understand the importance of PS5 exclusive titles. As I mentioned earlier, PlayStation Studios’ main responsibility is to have people enjoy the game experience using the latest PS. We are increasing the number of PS5-exclusive titles and staggering the release of the PC version,” Ryan said.
“I often have the opportunity to ask game fans for their opinions, and when I ask them about the time lag, they say that selling the PC version two or three years after the release of the PS version is accepted favorably.”
We’ll keep an eye out and update this article as soon as we learn more. In the meantime, here’s what we know about whether or not we can expect to get our hands on God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West soon.
