According to gaming industry insider Jason Schreier, Sony is considering scaling back its strategy of porting major PlayStation exclusive titles to PC. Schreier suggests Sony's PC ports have not performed as well as expected, with disappointing Steam player counts and financial returns. This potential shift could mean popular PlayStation franchises like God of War and Uncharted may no longer see timely PC releases, if they come to PC at all in the future.
Why it matters
Sony's move away from PC ports of its exclusive games could disappoint many PC gamers who have come to expect these titles to eventually make their way to the platform. This could also impact Sony's overall sales and player base, as some consumers may opt to purchase a PlayStation console solely to access these high-profile exclusives.
The details
Schreier notes that Sony's recent PC ports, such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales, have not seen the level of success the company likely hoped for. He states that PC port sales account for only around 2% of Sony's total revenue, suggesting the investment may not be worthwhile compared to focusing resources on the core PlayStation platform. This potential shift could mean major PlayStation franchises like God of War, Uncharted, and the upcoming Wolverine title may no longer see timely, or even any, PC releases.

What they’re saying
“I mean, 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.”

What’s next
It remains to be seen if Sony will officially confirm this potential shift in strategy, and how it may impact the availability of future PlayStation exclusive titles on PC.
The takeaway
Sony's potential move away from porting its major PlayStation exclusives to PC could be a significant blow to PC gamers who have come to expect these high-profile titles to eventually make their way to the platform. This decision appears to be driven by the relatively low financial returns from these PC ports, suggesting Sony may prioritize the core PlayStation experience over cross-platform releases going forward.
