Sony’s first-party PlayStation games were once strictly tied to the console. That changed in 2020, when the company began bringing major titles to PC, starting with Horizon Zero Dawn. PC gamers welcomed the opportunity to play hits like God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us, and Ghost of Tsushima without having to invest in a PlayStation. It was widely believed that Sony would continue this strategy to get games to a wider audience, but the company is reportedly rethinking this approach.
According to Bloomberg, sources familiar with Sony’s plans say the company will no longer release major single-player PlayStation 5 games on PC. Titles scheduled for release on Windows, including Ghost of Yotei and Saros, may remain PlayStation 5 exclusives. Both games were scheduled for PC ports before Sony changed its mind.
It is known that there will be some exceptions. Bloomberg noted that online games like Marathon and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will still be ported to PC. Additionally, games from external developers published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, including Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 and Kena: Scars of Kosmora, are still planned for PC release in 2026.
Why Sony backed away from PC ports
The decision appears to have been prompted by a combination of recent poor sales of the PC port and concerns within Sony that releasing its biggest game on PC could hurt the PlayStation brand and console sales. It’s unclear how this will affect the team behind the PC port, but PC gamers can expect to have fewer opportunities to play PlayStation’s biggest titles on their rigs.
Sony has yet to release an official statement, but if reports are accurate, this marks a significant shift in the company’s PC strategy over the past six years. PC gamers who were hoping for popular PlayStation titles to arrive on Steam after the console’s launch are likely to be disappointed.
