PC players, we have some bad news for you.

In the past, PC users were able to play games like God of War, the Ghost franchise, and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. And while people will still be able to play those games on their PC, the same cannot be said for future releases.

Online games such as Marathon and Marvel Tokon will still be released across multiple platforms, but plans for a PC port of Ghost of Yotei have been scrapped. The upcoming Saros will also remain a PS5 exclusive, as will Marvel's Wolverine.

However, Death Stranding 2 and the upcoming Kena: Scars of Kosmora will still be released on PC. This is because, although it was published by PlayStation, they were created by external developers.

Sony has not given any specific context as to why they are choosing to make future releases PlayStation 5 exclusive. However, the report from Bloomberg explored potential reasons.

One reason is that PlayStation games have not sold well on PC. Sony started releasing PlayStation games on PC via Steam in 2020, but their releases were never consistent. Some games were released months or years after they came to PlayStation, making it unprofitable.

On the flip side, others believe that releasing their games on PC will ultimately hurt sales of the PlayStation 5 and future consoles.

Another potential reason is that Sony's largest rival, the Xbox, is rumored to use Windows in its next model, meaning it will likely be capable of playing PC games. If true, that means people will be able to play PlayStation games via Steam without ever purchasing a PS5.
