It’s the end of a short-lived era as PlayStation boss Herman Hulst has reportedly let staff know that Sony is pulling back on PC releases. According to Bloomberg’s sources (via VGC), Sony will cease to release single-player games on PC moving forward, thus keeping exclusives on its PlayStation consoles. The decision seemingly supports earlier claims by Bloomberg and industry info leaker NateTheHate (via TechPowerUp), who both claimed the company was looking to decrease the amount of timed exclusives it was bringing over to PC.

As sad as this news may be for PC gamers who are fans of PlayStation games, the writing has been on the wall for some time. While Spider-Man Remastered hit the PC scene with over 66,000 units sold, the numbers somewhat steadily declined with each new release. There were standouts with titles such as Ghosts of Tsushima, which saw over 77,000 units sold, Horizon Forbidden West, and The Last of Us Part II, but beyond those, numbers dropped significantly until Spider-Man 2 finally made its way over with just barely 22,000 units moved.
You'll be seeing fewer single player games arrive on PC.

The decision to shift away from supporting PC was made last year. Naturally, some may still release (pending how far along the ports were) but it no longer appears to be a priority for Sony moving forward.
Aside from poor sales, another factor in this decision is likely due to the ongoing rumors that the console will not be releasing the PlayStation 6 until possibly as late as 2028. These rumors are, of course, based on the current chip shortage and its effect on the PC and console industries, but regardless means that Sony has to rely on exclusive releases to incentivize consumers to purchase its current PlayStation 5 consoles. Unfortunately, it sounds like this latest decision includes the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine, Ghost of Yotei, and Saros, none of which are expected to arrive on PC now.
