Over the past few years, plenty of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 exclusive games have made their way to PC , including tentpole franchises like The Last of Us , Marvel's Spider-Man , Horizon , and God of War .
However, there is a chance that in the future, only PlayStation live service games will launch on PC . Noted journalist Jason Schreier has suggested that traditional single-player experiences may remain console exclusives for the foreseeable future.
Speaking on the latest episode of the , the Bloomberg journalist commented on SIE’s strategy moving forward:
"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."
When host Kirk Hamilton asked if Sony could truly "close that door" on future titles like a hypothetical Ghost of Tsushima 3 , Schreier pointed to the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine . The game is set to launch on September 15, 2026 , exclusively for PlayStation 5 , with no PC version announced.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it never came to PC," Schreier explained. "But even if it does, you have a strong idea of what that is and that you need a PlayStation to play it, at least for the indefinite future."
Stepping back from PC releases would be a significant shift for Sony , but Schreier isn't convinced the impact would be as large as some expect. "I don't think it was that successful in the first place. So I don't know. It doesn't seem like it's going to be that big of a blow. It's very possible that they put that genie back in the bottle," he said.
While the recent State of Play featured several SIE-published titles coming to PC - including Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - these are not developed by internal PlayStation Studios . As such, there's a good chance that it will be first-party titles like Ghost of Yotei (which hasn't been announced for PC yet) and the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine will be the ones to define this new era of console exclusivity .
