Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls hitting PC in 2019 - Polygon

PC ports of all three games are scheduled to be released "later this year," and each one will be sold exclusively in the Epic Games Store for one year, Quantic Dream said in a news release. The company "partnered with" Epic to bring the titles to PC, according to the announcement. It's unclear if Epic is funding the development of the PC versions, or if the company merely paid for the timed exclusive on the distribution arrangement. We've asked the companies for comment, and will update this article with any information we receive.

The news comes as no great shock. In January, Quantic Dream announced that it had taken an investment from Chinese internet company NetEase for a minority stake in the studio. At the time, Quantic Dream executives said they would take their future projects to multiple platforms, suggesting that the company's long-running exclusive partnership with Sony had come to an end. The wording in Wednesday's announcement underscored that.

Was under the impression that these games were sony's IP's?  Good though as i love these games and more people need to play them.  Not sure how well they will sell on PC though.

Something with no particular value to Sony at this stage, that they don't intend on specifically fostering on their platforms in the future, just like the other exclusives that found their way to PC. So maybe something like the Order 1886 or whatever.

And yes Detroit exclusivity holds little to no value to Sony at this point.
