It appears thatBloodbornehas a working PC version, and there is some evidence online to prove it. Fans have long lamented the fact thatBloodbornehas not arrived on PC even 8 years after it first released, and developer FromSoftware has made no mention of porting the game to other platforms. However, this does not preclude the existence of a PC version, even if the studio has no intention of releasing it at this time. Not long ago there wererumors about aBloodbornePC port that were quickly refuted, much to the dismay of those who believe it is long overdue.Bloodborneis considered one of the best PlayStationSouls-likes, and many PC gamers would love the game to one day get the same treatment as other PlayStation hits likeSpider-ManandThe Last of Us: Part 1,even if the latter arrived in a poorly optimized state. FromSoftware appears to have no intention of looking back as it gears up to releaseArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubiconlater this year. The studio also has some DLC in the works forElden Ring,its latest game that was crowned Game of the Year at the 2022 The Game Awards.RELATED:Minecraft Player Builds Incredible Tower Inspired by BloodborneLance McDonald, credited for creating theBloodborne60fps patch, noticed an interesting detail about a screenshot on the fandom Wiki, specifically the screenshot for Oil Pitchers. The screenshot was contributed to theBloodborneWiki by Marcos Domenech who worked as an environment artist at FromSoftware from 2013 to 2017. Incidentally,Bloodborneis considered one of the best gamesthat makes use of environmental storytelling. The screenshot file name uses the naming convention “SPRJ-win64,” which is reportedly used for screenshots taken from the debug menu.
The existence of this screenshot appears to confirm thatBloodbornehas a full-blown PC version since it was taken in Fishing Hamlet, which is an area only accessible as part of the “Old Hunters” DLC. Lance has also claimed that he has seen the game running on a PC in a private setting, and is using his discovery to back up this claim.
If there is indeed a PC version ofBloodborneas seemingly confirmed by Lance’s discovery, one can only wonder if or when FromSoftware ever plans to release it. There is also a core offans who believeBloodborneshould get a sequel. Of course, the developer would want to maintain its reputation for crafting experiences that are well-realized in terms of both visuals and gameplay, so it could be that one dayBloodbornewill release as a remaster once the PC version is polished enough. This is pure speculation, and unlikely at best in the short term with the imminent arrival ofArmored Core 6andElden RingDLC “Shadow of the Erdtree.”
Bloodborneis available now on PS4.
