Sony’s approach to PC gaming may be shifting. A new insider claim suggests the company could limit its major first-party releases on PC, keeping its biggest titles exclusive to PlayStation consoles.
Gaming podcaster Jez Corden said a very good source had told him that PlayStation might not issue future tentpole single-player games on PC.
He made the remark during discussions about Steam, where most of the PlayStation ports underperform in contrast to other PC hits.
Reportedly, such ports cannot often “move the needle”, which is the reason why the PC market may be less interesting for Sony.
Fans have reacted to the news with a mixture of views: some find the move wholly unsurprising, given PlayStation's history of keeping console games exclusive to their consoles. Others have argued that Sony is unlikely to give up on PC releases anytime soon, since they still make extra money this way.
The timing of the rumour coincides with Valve’s announcement of the Steam Machine, sparking renewed debates about console competition and multiplatform releases.
Meanwhile, there’s no evidence Sony is responding directly to Valve; industry observers note that keeping top IPs tied to proprietary hardware is a strategy companies like Nintendo have successfully used for years.
Sony also hasn't commented on the claims, and there's no confirmation of an official change in its PC strategy. There's no word, either, on exactly how much difference the Steam Machine will make in the market.
