Amid indications that Xbox’s multiplatform strategy is faltering, Sony may be re-evaluating its approach to releasing PlayStation games on PC, despite previously bringing major franchises like Horizon, The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and God of War to the platform. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, citing his connections within American studios, suggests Sony might be pulling back from PC support, particularly for its traditional single-player games, to bolster its console exclusives. On the Triple Click podcast, Schreier stated, “I think their strategy is this: live service games are coming to PC, but I get the impression they’re reversing course on launching their console exclusives, like traditional singleplayer games, on the PC.” When asked by host Kirk Hamilton if Sony might indeed abandon PC releases for future titles, Schreier pointed to Marvel’s Wolverine, slated for PlayStation 5 on September 15, 2026, as a possible example of this new direction. “It wouldn’t surprise me if it never reached PC,” he commented, adding that players would likely need a PlayStation to experience the game, “at least for the foreseeable future.”

Potential End to Sony’s Single-Player PC Game Releases – Focus Shifts Towards Multiplayer Services and Exclusives

Supporting this view, a report by Muhammad Ali Bari on February 26, 2026, indicated Sony will no longer release its single-player, first-party PlayStation games on PC. The last such release was Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut in May 2024, marking a potential two-year pause in Sony’s PC support plan. Schreier clarified his position on ResetEra, stating that his comments did not apply to multiplayer service games like Helldivers 2 and Marathon, nor to Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, a Kojima Productions title exclusive to Playstation 5 due to a temporary contract. This distinction suggests Sony may continue to leverage PC for specific types of releases. Despite speculation about a broader shift, Schreier believes limiting the multiplatform strategy would not significantly impact PlayStation’s overall business. “I don’t think it’s been such a huge success, so I’m unsure. It doesn’t seem like it’ll be a devastating blow. They might just keep the genie in the lamp,” he concluded.
