Insiders Say Sony May Pull Back PC Ports for Single-Player PlayStation Games

Insider reporting points to a pivot that favors live-service releases on PC over porting flagship single-player games.

Overview

  • Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier said on the Triple Click podcast that the sense he is getting is Sony is backing away from putting traditional single-player exclusives on PC, while keeping live-service titles PC-bound.
  • Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine is set for September 15, 2026 on PS5 with no PC version announced, and Schreier said he would not be surprised if it never came to PC.
  • Digital Foundry’s John Linneman and insider NateTheHate echoed similar guidance, suggesting Sony is altering its PC approach for first-party single-player games.
  • Sony has not announced any policy change, but Schreier emphasized his remarks were not speculation and indicated further reporting is forthcoming.
  • Coverage cites underwhelming PC performance and small revenue contributions from ports as context for the reported shift, raising questions about implications for Sony’s PC-porting teams such as Nixxes.
