Sony is believed to be rethinking its PC strategy and will instead place a greater emphasis on console-exclusive titles.
Sony is reportedly rethinking its PC strategy, with fresh claims suggesting the company may scale back plans to bring its major single-player exclusives to the platform.
According to Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, Sony will likely continue releasing live service titles on PC day-and-date with PlayStation, but could retreat from launching its traditional, story-driven blockbusters beyond console.
Speaking on the Triple Click podcast, Schreier said: “The sense I’m getting is that they’re backing away from putting their exclusive console stuff like traditional single-player stuff on PC.”
He pointed to Marvel’s Wolverine from Insomniac Games — currently slated as a PlayStation 5 exclusive — as an example of a project that may never reach PC.
Schreier later clarified his comments were “not speculation”, adding that more details could emerge soon.
Digital Foundry’s John Linneman echoed the sentiment, suggesting under Sony’s current leadership “PC has become less important”, and that the company may prioritise strengthening console identity over expanding further into the PC market.
Over the past few years, Sony has gradually brought titles such as God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man and The Last of Us Part I to PC after timed exclusivity periods.
However, unlike Microsoft, which releases first-party games simultaneously on Xbox and PC, Sony has maintained a staggered approach.
Live service titles appear to be the exception. Helldivers 2 launched on PS5 and PC simultaneously to huge success, while Marathon is set to debut across multiple platforms at once.
If accurate, the shift would signal a renewed emphasis on PlayStation hardware — reinforcing exclusives as a key driver for console sales rather than broadening Sony’s footprint across competing ecosystems.
