Hold me! PlayStation exclusive Ghost Of Tsushima could be coming to PC

Let’s start our day with a little bit of hope, shall we? I’ll cuddle up with any rumour that suggests that PlayStation samurai sim Ghost Of Tsushima could be on its way to the PC, and the faint wisps of a rumour storm started to gather last night. The game’s official box art has dropped the "only on PlayStation" branding. Could it be? Is it possible? All signs point to mayyyyyyybe-ish-but-probably-not. Eh, I’ll take it.

This Days Gone mod makes zombie hordes truly enormous

With the action-adventure game now on our home platform, Days Gone PC mods have been flooding in of late. So far, we've seen some cool reshades, weapon, equipment, and stat adjustments, and even one creation that slows the zombies down to more of a shuffle than a sprint. Now, though, there's an offering that offers a whole new (frankly terrifying) level of challenges where the game's zombies are concerned.

Modder Aigmir has posted a new Days Gone mod that dials up the size of the open-world game's zombie hordes to make them truly enormous. Hordes are a big hazard in Days Gone, which are made up of anywhere between 50 and 500 swarmers, and 40 of them roam about in-game waiting to pounce on poor old Deacon. This new mod, however, changes that range to 280-600, with boss hordes being a tad bigger.

These massive new hordes won't just be randomised in where they appear, though. The modder says they didn't just want to boost numbers but stick to developer Bend Studio's plans about where each size horde would appear, so you can expect five different 'tiers' of horde (five being the biggest) to appear in the spots you'd expect. The largest of these is a boss horde of an eye-watering 670 swarmers, which'll pop up at Mt. Bailey.

Don't expect new PlayStation exclusives to come to PC at launch

Sony have already released former PlayStation exclusives Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone to PC, and Uncharted 4 might well be next, but it seems they still have plans for more. (Which is nice, because three games really isn't that many.) PlayStation boss Herman Hulst says Sony will "continue to look at the right times" to bring more scloosies over. From the sounds of things, we probably won't see those exclusives on PC at launch, however.
