Probably not until mainstream SSDs on PCs become as fast as the SSD in the PS5, which may very well be 5-10 years (or even longer)
Insomniac has clearly stated that this game is only possible on PS5 because of the SSD
Edit: Should have been clearer on emphazising "mainstream". I don't think the adaption rate of next-generation PC SSDs are going to be particularly high, but hopefully it is! :)

This already happened with the Demon's Souls trailer, and later turned out to be a mistake.
This trailer from yesterday said just exclusive:
jstevenson can you clarify?

It's entirely possible Demon's Souls could launch on PC a couple years from now. Same with Ratchet. I wouldn't expect any of these newer games to leave PlayStation consoles in the near term, but mid/long term? Seems fairly likely.
Sony really need to work on their wording lol, just say exclusive to PS5.
Well, I guess on a technicality they word it the way it is because they plan to port to PC later down the line.

Days Gone PC must have sold really well for them to change this in the space of 12 hours.
Not any time 'SOON' lol. At least not for... idk 2-3 years because A) yet to see PS5 1st parties on PC.. B) if sony do decide to port it from their significantly vast portfolio of PS 1st party games..this will be upto them.. time will tell..
Honestly i don't think putting developer on the line is gonna make it worth it or is it fair to the dev because people can't confirm or deny without saying 'no plans' in their statement as the company doesn't want them talking about the subject on their own.
I imagine that at most it's just sony hedging their bets in case they decide to release it on PC in a few years.
I think anyone assuming that means that a PC version is also imminent is reaching impressively.

I seriously need to build a new computer.
The wait is totally fine, but not being able to match console settings is going to kill me shortly.

Yeah, Sony saw the astronomical Days Gone sales earlier today and decided to release Ratchet on PC as well.
honestly, I think the assumption with the wording of all of Sony's 1st party stuff in terms of the "console exclusive" stuff is just leaving the door open for PC.
Not in the sense that this is all coming to PC, but that at some point in the future Ratchet and Clank or any of their 1st party could be selected as part of a small batch of titles to put on PC.
I wouldn't read much more into it. Sony was never going to put all of their 1st party games on PC. They seem to very much want/believe that PC gamers playing the select 1st party titles they put on PC, will eventually lead to a PS5 purchase.

I mean, sure, but it doesn't mean this wording in the trailer is teasing that like the OP is trying to say.
With emphasis on "mainstream" :) I don't expect the majority of the PC crowd to have an SSD as fast as the PS5's anytime soon. I'm not saying it's the technology that's stopping it, but the adaption rate by mainstream users.
Yeah, but op is clearly reaching with that title. Sony fixed that Demon's souls trailer immediately and even if they planned to release it on PC in a few years they would never admit it until right before.
The reason I can @ james so easily is because Sony and fucking-up marketing text has been going on for so long now and it would be a surprise if it turns out to be true.
Lol no, maybe in a few years time, the requirements for this game would be crazy on PC right now, this is a proper next gen title that will require RTX I/O/Directstorage, which isn't even out on PC yet.
The titles Sony are putting on PC are obviously stuff like Dreams & maybe TLOU Factions.

I feel like that whole power of the SSD thing is all marketing talk. I'm waiting for the CrowbCat on that.
Incredibly powerful bait post.
My knees are bending on their own, I kneel.
when is Ratchet and Clank 2? That is when the PC verison of this game will be announced. Sony's strategy has been super obvious, don't know why people keep thinking they are going to start doing day and date pc/ps5 games. They see PC ports as a marketing tool for the next game
