So, this means mandatory proprietary hardware just to play the four or five true permanent exclusives that will be on the PS6 throughout its entire lifetime, given that everything else will eventually come to PC, and you don’t actually own any of your digital content, meaning that they can revoke your access to your purchases without notice at any point if they choose to do so.
People will still buy it though, that’s the saddest part.
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.
Good thing Sony’s first party output is easy to ignore. Just go watch Wolverine and all the rest of their games on YouTube since they’re basically interactive movies.

They’ve already said they’ve stopped porting to PC
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.

Right, the only PS5 exclusive I would love to have on PC is Astro Bot.
