Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier suggests Sony is shifting strategy to keep traditional single-player first-party games exclusive to PlayStation consoles. Live service titles would still launch on PC, but upcoming releases like Marvel's Wolverine appear headed for console-only debuts. This marks a potential reversal from recent years when hits like God of War reached PC platforms.
Over the past few years, Sony Interactive Entertainment has ported several PlayStation exclusives to PC, including franchises such as The Last of Us, Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon, and God of War. However, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier indicated on the latest episode of the Triple Click podcast that this approach may be changing for first-party single-player titles.
Schreier stated, "I think for them, their strategy is like, live service games are coming to PC. But I think 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 highlighted the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine, scheduled for launch on September 15, 2026, exclusively on PlayStation 5 with no PC version announced. "I wouldn't be surprised if it never came to PC," Schreier added, noting that players would need a PlayStation for the indefinite future.
This potential shift extends to other projects, with Schreier suggesting titles like Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and future God of War games could remain console exclusives. For Ghost of Yotei, no PC release has been announced. Schreier downplayed the financial impact, saying, "I don't think it was that successful in the first place. So I don't know. It doesn't seem like it's going to be that big of a blow."
Recent announcements, such as Death Stranding 2: On the Beach coming to PC, involve third-party publications rather than internal PlayStation Studios. Meanwhile, reports note that PC ports represent less than 2% of Sony's yearly revenue, and rumors suggest some first-party ports have been canceled. Separately, Xbox leadership under new CEO Asha Sharma has hinted at reevaluating multiplatform strategies, though no firm decisions have been made.
