All of these titles were only available previously for PS3 and PS4 as Sony Interactive Entertainment published them, making these PC ports somewhat surprising.

Quantic Dream and Epic Games promised to roll out the PC releases of these titles later this year. They are all guaranteed to be Epic Games Store exclusives for one year.
While Quantic Dream is taking these exclusives away from Sony, the developer’s co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere still thanked that publisher, saying that the studio is “so grateful for twelve fantastic years of collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment and all they have allowed us to create and produce.” As for why these games are being brought to PC via the Epic Games Store, Guillaume simply cited the fact that Quantic Dream can “now expand our products to a wider fan base and allow PC players to enjoy our titles.”
On Epic’s side of things, Head of Epic Games Store Steve Allison is happy to have nettedDetroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, andBeyond: Two Soulsas exclusives. “We are extremely excited for the Epic Games Store to host such a well-known and established video game studio like Quantic Dream. Their games have truly pioneered the genre of interactive storytelling, and with their expansion onto other platforms we are truly honored they chose to take that first step with Epic Games,” he commented.
Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, andDetroit: Become Humanwill all come out for PC exclusively on the Epic Games Store later in 2019.
