Rumors of a possibleGravity Rush 2remaster come courtesy of a Sony “insider” going by the handle of Orangee.

Orangee’s comments about a futureGravity Rush 2remaster suggest that the game may be announced as early as May 2024, with a targeted summer release window on the PlayStation 5.

They also claim that it’ll arrive on PC at a later date.GravityRushis one of several PS4 exclusive gamesthat many fans request a PC port of.
Whether or not Orangee’s statements turn out to be true, there’s no denying that many players are looking to Sony to make some of its PlayStation 4-era games available on more platforms. The idea ofGravity RushorGravity Rush 2getting PS5 and PC treatments also fits Sony’s recent moves, which saw previous exclusives likeDays Gone, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, andMarvel’s Spider-Manall eventually make it to PC, after a period of console exclusivity.
