Overview
- PlayStation’s former PC planner Jerry Liu, in a LinkedIn update Thursday, said the PC unit grew from $0 to $300 million in net revenue from 2021 to 2023.
- Sony’s 2023 business briefing lists PC net revenue of $35 million in FY20, $80 million in FY21, and $250 million in FY22, which aligns with Liu’s disclosure.
- Sony’s segment uses net revenue while quarterly tallies cite gross sales, so store fees on PC, including Steam’s cut, reduce what Sony keeps from each sale.
- GamesRadar’s read of Sony’s public data shows PS4 and PS5 software made $303 million in 2021, $264 million in 2022, and $286 million in 2023, underscoring how small PC remains by comparison.
- Industry reports say Sony may keep new first-party single-player games on PlayStation and focus PC on live-service releases like Marathon, though no cancellations or policy change are confirmed.
