Sony’s stitched mascot Sackboy seems to positively be heading to PC, as a Steam database replace has all however confirmed a port of Sackboy: A Huge Journey.
Rumours across the port have been rife for a number of months—a SteamDB entry appeared again in October 2021, which was theorised to be the sport primarily based on references to Venture Marmalade, its authentic codename. That very same title additionally appeared as a part of the huge Nvidia GeForce leak a month prior. Then in June, some very convincing screenshots of PC Sackboy appeared on Reddit, additional solidifying that this was one thing that was occurring.
Now, as VGC reviews, the SteamDB entry has obtained somewhat replace. An icon has been added, exhibiting a cheerful, zoomed-in Sackboy taken from A Huge Journey’s key artwork. All of it however confirms that Sackboy is heading to PC someday quickly, although it is unsure when. The icon replace got here alongside language assist, which often alerts {that a} sport is not far off releasing. I would hazard a guess we’ll be seeing the port earlier than 2022 closes out, although we may see it pushed into early 2023.
The entire thing is somewhat thrilling, and it marks yet one more PlayStation unique making its means over right here. The previous 18 months have seen Sony dedicate itself to bringing its video games over to PC—we have had the likes of Horizon, Days Gone, God of Struggle and Spider-Man obtain ports and for essentially the most half, they have been fairly rattling good. Sackboy: A Huge Journey is sitting at a superb rating of 79 on Metacritic, touted as a enjoyable platformer with a lovable mascot. I might’ve personally most well-liked to see LittleBigPlanet get ported—simply consider all of the cool mods you might have!—but it surely’s nonetheless good to see that Sony wasn’t simply blowing scorching air when it stated it was devoted to PC as a platform.
