Horizon Zero Dawn sold over 716K copies on PC in its first month

For context, this PC launch is as large as The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt, and much larger than that of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey and the Death Stranding’s PC version. On PC, Death Stranding sold 477K copies at launch. 

These high sales numbers come despite the early issues which came with Horizon: Zero Dawn’s PC version, highlighting the strength of Horizon’s gameplay and the popularity of the series. Recent patches have addressed most of these early PC issues, making the game a lot more playable across PC gaming’s almost endless variety of hardware configurations. 

Given these sales numbers, it makes sense that Horizon: Zero Dawn has made Sony more interested in bringing some of its other PlayStation exclusives to PC.
