Overview
- Shuhei Yoshida, speaking Thursday at Australia’s ALT Games Festival, said he has not seen evidence that Sony plans to stop bringing first‑party PlayStation titles to PC this generation.
- He argued day‑one PC releases are a poor move for a console maker because they weaken the reason to buy the hardware.
- He said ports that arrive a year or two later help recover huge development costs and support new projects, with outlets citing leaked estimates that Marvel’s Spider‑Man 2 cost about $300 million.
- A recent report claimed Sony would drop PC versions of some single‑player games, which remains unconfirmed, and coverage noted website wording changes that fueled the rumor.
- He acknowledged PlayStation’s PC track record has been uneven due to buggy or poorly optimized ports, yet he described PC releases as a net positive for sales and reach since Sony began ramping them up after Horizon Zero Dawn in 2020.
