PlayStation Reportedly Plans to Stop Porting its Future Single-Player Games to PC

Sony is reportedly changing its approach to PC ports and will keep its future single-player games exclusive to PlayStation consoles. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier learned from people familiar with the company’s plans that last year’s Ghost of Yotei and the freshly released Saros, two single-player games published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, aren’t going to be released on PC.

“Online games such as Marathon and Marvel Tokon will still be released across multiple platforms,” Schreier wrote. So will Kena: Scars of Kosmora, a single-player game developed by an external developer but published by PlayStation. However, the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine, which is being developed by Marvel’s Spiderman developer Insomniac Games, should remain exclusive to PlayStation 5 consoles.

Schreier noted that “Sony’s plans are constantly shifting,” but the company was reportedly disappointed by the commercial performance of some recent PC ports of its games. “A faction within PlayStation has also expressed concern that releasing their games on PC risks damaging the console’s brand and will hurt sales of the PlayStation 5 and its successors,” the reporter wrote.

In recent years, Sony started releasing some of its blockbuster exclusive games on Steam, but some ports, such as The Last of Us Part 1, were poorly optimized. The company also angered PC gamers when it started requiring PlayStation accounts for some of its single-player games, but it later backtracked.

Sony’s multiplatform strategy has also been quite inconsistent: The company released the multiplayer game Helldivers 2 on Xbox consoles back in August 2025, but Lego Horizon Adventures, which was released on Nintendo Switch back in November 2024, never came to Xbox. To pick up another example, the critically-acclaimed Astro Bot, which would likely sell better on the family-friendly Nintendo Switch, is still exclusive to PS5 consoles, and it never came to PC.

Schreier pointed out that Sony’s decision to keep its future single-player games exclusive to PlayStation consoles may also be influenced by the hybrid nature of Microsoft’s Project Helix, which will be able to play PC games. “Some executives at PlayStation may not be thrilled at the prospect of one of the company’s flagship games like God of War running on the next Xbox console,” Schreier wrote.

It’s certainly true that PlayStation has benefited hugely from its exclusive franchises such as God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, and Marvel’s Spiderman, with recent games that consistently received critical acclaim. The company is nearly as good as Nintendo when it comes to producing true system-sellers, though the PlayStation 5 generation probably didn’t deliver as many memorable games as the previous one. There was also a very high-profile failure with Concord, a multiplayer game that was shut down two weeks after its launch, with Sony offering full refunds.

Sony’s reconsideration of its future PC ports comes at a time when Asha Sharma, the new CEO of Xbox, said that the company will “reevaluate its approach to exclusivity.” Forza Horizon 6, which was released in early access on Xbox and PC on May 15, has already become the most-played early access game in the series history, and this happened ahead of its planned release on PlayStation 5 later this year.
