In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of the critically acclaimed game Bloodborne, has expressed his willingness to see the game make its way to PCs. Miyazaki revealed that he is not opposed to a PC port, stating that he would love for more players to be able to enjoy the game.

Miyazaki's comments come as he discussed the benefits of newer hardware and the potential for remakes. He noted that modern hardware allows developers to achieve things that were not possible on previous generations, making it an opportunity for older games to be reintroduced and appreciated by a wider audience. He emphasized the importance of accessibility and the driving force it can be in bringing an old game to a new platform.

While no concrete plans for a PC port have been announced, Miyazaki's openness to the idea has sparked hope among Bloodborne fans who have long awaited the game's availability on a platform other than PlayStation. As the title is owned by Sony, the ball is now in the company's court to decide whether they will make the necessary arrangements for a PC release.

The discussion around a potential PC port was further fueled by the recent update in Astro's Playroom, a PlayStation 5 game developed by Team Asobi. The update included a cameo appearance of Bloodborne's iconic boss, Lady Maria, as well as related trophies and pre-order bonuses for the new game. This led to speculation among fans that something bigger was in the works, but Team Asobi's studio head and creative director, Nicolas Doucet, clarified that it was simply a celebration of PlayStation history. He explained that Astro's Playroom would focus on cameos from PlayStation characters, rather than hardware references, indicating a different direction for the game.

For now, it remains uncertain whether Bloodborne will indeed make its way to PC platforms. However, Miyazaki's openness to the idea brings a glimmer of hope for fans who have wished to experience the game outside the confines of PlayStation consoles. As the gaming industry continues to evolve, it is increasingly common for games to find new life on different platforms, bridging gaps and allowing more players to enjoy cherished titles. The fate of Bloodborne's potential PC port now lies with Sony, as they hold the rights to the game.

Fans eagerly await any official announcements or updates regarding a PC release of Bloodborne. As they patiently anticipate news from Sony, they can take solace in the recent cameo appearance of Lady Maria in Astro's Playroom's update, offering a taste of the game's captivating world.
