No longer a PC exclusive, LawBreakers is officially coming to the PlayStation 4

LawBreakers | Rise or Fall
When LawBreakers was first revealed in 2015, PC gamers were excited to play the next game from Gear sof War creator Cliff Bleszinski. Console gamers were left in the dust until a quote from Bleszinski offered them a ray of hope. Now Boss Key Productions has announced that the upcoming game will release on the PlayStation 4 alongside its PC counterpart.

Although the game will run on any PS4 model, the PS4 Pro will enhance the game the most. While no specifics were given, typical PS4 Pro enhancements include 4K resolution or 60 frames per second.

In addition to the console release, publisher Nexon also revealed that the base game will cost $30. There will be no season pass-style program and all future content updates will be free, including any maps or characters. LawBreakers will feature a Stash Box system offering a variety of cosmetics for players.

“With LawBreakers, we wanted to honor the skill-based FPS games of yesteryear, all while embracing the new and pushing the genre in our own unique way,” said Bleszinski. “We found that messing with gravity, and having it mess with the player, adds a dynamic vertical element that will challenge players of all skill levels to go above their limits. Add in a variety of character role-play styles that go beyond the basic ‘tank, sniper and medic,’ a price point that we feel is fair to the player, and the fact that it’s just damn fun to play — we’re confident LawBreakers will be one of the best valued and most challenging FPS games on PC or console.”

Attendees of next month’s E3 2017 will be among the first to play the PS4 version of LawBreakers. The game will launch simultaneously on the PlayStation Store and Steam later this year, but no release date has been revealed at this time.

Every PlayStation game you can play on PC

Besides Nintendo, PlayStation has been the most precious with keeping their exclusive games locked to their consoles of any console maker. All the way into the PS4's lifecycle, it was all but assured that any exclusive title that came to that console would never appear on any other console. However, things started to shift when exclusivity deals Sony struck began to allow games coming to their console to also release on PC at the same time. This, along with Xbox making a major push with Game Pass Ultimate that brought nearly that entire library to PC, made many wonder if Sony would ever embrace the PC market.

Initially testing the waters with single releases, PlayStation has finally decided to make a bigger effort to bring their exclusive games to the PC storefront. With reports stating that Sony expects their PC revenue to increase by more than three times by 2023 alone, it's safe to say that owning a PS5 won't be the only way to play their amazing titles forever. That being said, they still have only just begun this process, leaving many games still locked to their hardware. For a full list of all the available PlayStation exclusives you can get on PC, plus the ones we know will be coming in the future, check out this comprehensive list.

When announcing previous State of Play presentations, Sony has been very clear about what to expect in any of its specific showcases. So we can rule out any sort of first-party games like the God of War Ragnarok. The game was rated in South Korea yesterday, indicating that it could be released soon, however, it's unlikely to appear in this upcoming showcase.
