- PlayStation CEO Herman Hulst confirmed that future single-player narrative games, including Marvel's Wolverine, God of War Laufey, and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, will be PlayStation console exclusives with no PC ports.
- Online live-service games, such as Horizon Hunters Gathering, will continue to launch on PC, maintaining some multiplatform presence for PlayStation's first-party titles.
- Sony's 2026 SEC filing removes previous mentions of deploying first-party titles to multiple platforms like PC and introduces a new section on leveraging AI to enhance creativity, productivity, and personalized experiences.
- This strategic shift at PlayStation precedes a similar move by Xbox, which is also planning more exclusives for its platform, though Xbox titles will still release on PC, highlighting a key difference between the two companies.
