In other words, at one point or another in development, there was a full PC version of Bloodborne. However, stressed McDonald, this discovery of the players has not brought the release of the game on the PC any closer.

Bloodborne was released exclusively on PS4 in March 2015 and has achieved cult status in the community. Rumors about expanding the list of target platforms for the game have been circulating for several years, but have not yet received confirmation.
