Horizon Zero Dawn has sold at least 3.3 million copies on Steam, according to a confidential slide that was leaked today as part of the Insomniac breach, revealing what is apparently PlayStation Studio’s best-selling PC port following its decision to bring some of its biggest first-party games to PC.

Here are the sales figures from the leak, which, in addition to successes that include God of War, also reveal a few relative losers in the form of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure, a port that launched in October 2022 and remains priced at $59.99 on the Steam store:

PlayStation Studios Steam PC Sales

  • Horizon Zero Dawn: 3.3 Million
  • God of War: 2.5 Million
  • Days One: 1.7 Million
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered: 1.3 Million
  • Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection: 482,000
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales: 450,200

“Ports that cost <$30m just need an email approval from Sony to get funded,” a ResetEra user noted in a thread that includes a few more highlights from the leak, including how Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart’s PC port cost $2.6 million to make and is expected to sell around 800,000 units.

“The biggest news out of this (for me) is learning that a port that demands less than $30 million in cost just needs approval via email,” one user wrote in response. “That seems uncharacteristically ‘open’ of Sony, I think?”

Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition, the next PlayStation Studios that is headed to PC, is coming in early 2024 via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

“This Complete Edition allows you to enjoy the critically acclaimed Horizon Forbidden West in its entirety with bonus content, including the Burning Shores story expansion that picks up after the main game,” reads a description for the new port from Guerrilla Games and Nixxes Software.
