Why Sony Pulling Back on PC Ports for Single-Player Games Could Make Sense

There was a moment in 2024 when a fully multiplatform future felt almost inevitable: Microsoft moved big games to Switch and PS5, and Sony supported more PC ports than before. That momentum appears to be shifting. Sony is reportedly pulling back from platforms like Steam to double down on the PlayStation 5 ecosystem for single-player titles such as Wolverine.

“I get the feeling that under the current leadership, that PC has become less important,” Digital Foundry’s John Linneman said on a recent podcast, and Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier offered a similar inkling on Triple Click, later writing on ResetEra, “It’s not speculation, but sometimes topics come up on the show before I’m quite ready to publish a story about them.

More to come soon I’m sure.” Insiders have been blunt about a strategy change. “They are shifting their PC release strategy,” tweeted NateTheHate, “You’ll be seeing fewer single player games arrive on PC. The decision to shift away from supporting PC was made last year.
