Actually, the 2026 strategy and business environment report from Sony simply removed the line “Will continue its efforts to deploy its first-party titles to multiple platforms such as PC” from their priorities list, but did not outright state that they won’t port games to PC anymore, as many journalists misinterpreted, the report simply states that it isn’t a priority anymore due to mitigated revenue. The main concern within the report seems to be that near simultaneous releases on PC are effectively cannibalizing PS5 hardware sales, so you might still expect PC releases but further down the line compared to the current 1-2 years window, maybe previous generation games released on PC, not current generation.

For now, yes. But these companies change their strategies all the fucking time. As soon as they see their “only on Playstation” strategy is not giving them the expected return, I am sure they’re gonna get back to PC once more.
Microsoft and Sony (and pretty much any other big corporation in the game business) are not reliable at all. I find it both amusing and shocking that we still have ‘fanboys’ up to this day, when these companies themselves can’t even maintain a solid long term strategy. All they care about is making maximum profit at the cost of literally everything else, so their ‘promises’ hold no weight at all.

They have but others have not. GTA will come to PC. GoW Faye likely wont.
I’d rather wait and emulate the next spiderman and Wolverine game tbh.
