Two of the best PS5 exclusives all but confirmed for PC thanks to leaks
>
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is definitely coming to PC, and another leak points to a Returnal release for the platform as well.
It looked like Sackboy: A Big Adventure was headed to PC after an anonymous listing gave the game away a few weeks ago. And it’s now official, with the PlayStation Latin America account uploading a – currently unlisted – trailer for the title.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be released on PC on Thursday, October 27, according to the trailer description. And it looks like it will be joined by Housemarque’s spooky roguelike shooter, Returnal. That’s fitting, since Sackboy got Returnal-themed DLC last year.
Duplicate issues
A SteamDB List (opens in new tab) Spotted in May, the first suspicion was that Returnal would make its way to PC. A month later, in June, screenshots of both Sackboy and Returnal PC menus leaked onto reddit and were posted on Twitter:

And earlier this month, during a GDC presentation (via Eurogamer (opens in new tab)) Returnal was spotted on a PC dev kit – a detail noted by Alex Battaglia of Digital Foundry:
Returnal from GDC’s presentation of his VFX and particle work is really cool – but I enjoy the bonus it has to reattach the PC version. Debug, readout! Link to presentation:https://t.co/slu0GIEu12 pic.twitter.com/xz4CUxqqU3September 5, 2022
The most recent leak is a video posted on IconEra (opens in new tab) shows what looks like Returnal’s graphical menu and the various options available. So we’re pretty sure we’ll see a Returnal PC release coming soon. There’s more evidence circulating for the port than for Sackboy, but as always, with no official word, temper your expectations. In case that.
A slew of PlayStation exclusive games have already been released for PC, including God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which came to PS5 earlier this year and hits PC on Wednesday, October 19.
The library of exclusive PlayStation games migrating to PC is growing and will only grow if this trend continues. With the PS5 replenishment issues refusing to give up, if you have a PC you’re in a great position to take advantage of the console exclusives popping up on their platform in the meantime.
