Sony’s stitched mascot Sackboy appears to be like to positively be heading to PC, as a Steam database replace has all however confirmed a port of Sackboy: A Large Journey.
Rumours across the port have been rife for just a few months—a SteamDB entry appeared again in October 2021, which was theorised to be the sport based mostly on references to Venture Marmalade, its unique codename. That very same identify 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 taking place.
Now, as VGC studies, the SteamDB entry has obtained a bit of replace. An icon has been added, displaying a cheerful, zoomed-in Sackboy taken from A Large 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 indicators {that a} recreation is not far off releasing. I might hazard a guess we’ll be seeing the port earlier than 2022 closes out, although we might see it pushed into early 2023.
The entire thing is reasonably thrilling, and it marks one more PlayStation unique making its manner 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 Battle and Spider-Man obtain ports and for essentially the most half, they have been fairly rattling good. Sackboy: A Large Journey is sitting at a effective rating of 79 on Metacritic, touted as a enjoyable platformer with a lovable mascot. I’d’ve personally most popular to see LittleBigPlanet get ported—simply consider all of the cool mods you may have!—nevertheless it’s nonetheless good to see that Sony wasn’t simply blowing sizzling air when it mentioned it was devoted to PC as a platform.
