Sony Said to Be 'Backing Away' From Launching Its Single-Player Games on PC
"I think for them, their strategy is 'live service games are coming to PC,' but the sense I'm getting is that they're backing away from putting their exclusive console stuff - traditional single-player stuff - on PC."
"Even if they don't, Wolverine is coming in September. That's not going to be on PC; that's going to be on PlayStation 5 only. Even if it does, you have a very strong idea of what that is, and you need a PlayStation a play it, at least for the indefinite future."
"Schreier said that Sony was going to stop putting its tentpole first-party single-player games, like The Last of Us 2, on PC. He added that Sony's PC releases were never that successful to begin with."
Sony is reportedly reconsidering its approach to PC releases for first-party games. According to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, the company plans to back away from porting console exclusive single-player titles to PC, reversing its recent strategy of releasing games on both platforms. Live service games will continue launching on PC simultaneously with PlayStation 5. Upcoming titles like Marvel's Wolverine are expected to remain PlayStation 5 exclusives indefinitely. Schreier noted that Sony's PC releases have not been particularly successful commercially, making the shift back to platform exclusivity a strategic decision. This contrasts with Xbox's multi-platform approach and represents a return to Sony's traditional exclusive strategy.
