According to leaked documents, Epic Games offered $200 million for PS4 exclusive ports.

The document is a part of the ongoing Apple vs Epic legal proceedings, which was apparently briefly uploaded to the case’s public server – and then shared on Resetera.

The document, titled ‘Individual Tactics,” details Epic’s strategy to secure exclusive ports from all three platform holders – though Epic didn’t seem confident about convincing Nintendo or Microsoft.

Sony seemed to be the most promising prospect for Epic. While the wording is a little unclear, it seems the company was awaiting feedback on a $200m minimum guarantee for 4-6 Sony titles. The outcome of the proceedings is unknown, though as PC Gamer reports, two PlayStation exclusives have landed on the Epic Games Store, ReadySet Heroes in 2019 and Predator: Hunting Grounds in April 2020.

Sony has begun porting some of its games to PC, though not to Epic’s storefront. Both Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone both came to Steam, implying that perhaps Epic’s offer was unsuccessful.
