Key Points:
- Sony is signaling a retreat from PC gaming, emphasizing PlayStation 5 exclusives in a recent promotional video titled “Only On PS5,” highlighting games that will not be released on PC.
- Bloomberg reported that PlayStation Studios will keep narrative single-player games exclusive to PlayStation due to underwhelming PC sales, reversing previous trends of releasing major titles on Steam.
- Despite earlier speculation, games like Gran Turismo 7 are now unlikely to come to PC, and Sony’s latest Steam release, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, faced criticism for poor optimization.
- Sony’s renewed focus on its console ecosystem comes amid rising PS5 prices, with the base model now costing $649.99 due to ongoing memory shortages, marking a significant increase since launch.
