Speaking on the latest Xbox Two Podcast, Jez Cordon has stated that he has heard from a source that Sony is likely to reduce its PC output for it major tentpole single-player games, although live service titles will continue to be released on both PS5 and PC day-and-date.
Cordon also addressed the recent discovery of PS5 & PC Cross-Buy icons, which he believes are outdated and are not going to be used. As for the reasons why PlayStation is scaling back it PC output, Cordon stated that the games simply didn’t sell all that well, “partially because they were launched so late.”
But I actually heard the complete opposite today from a very good source, that PlayStation probably is pulling back from PC and also that the crossbuy buttons and the PlayStation/PC iconography is from outdated old builds and is never going to be used. […] I don’t actively investigate what PlayStation’s doing. Because it’s not it’s not my beat. But sometimes I do get PlayStation information incidentally sometimes by researching Microsoft stuff for my actual beat.

But it does seem like the games that PlayStation released on PC didn’t move the needle for them at all. Partially because they were launched so late, but maybe they’ve used that as evidence that they shouldn’t go any further, and that they should remain more Nintendo in their approach and keep things more exclusive. Except service games. […] But I do think those sort of tentpole singleplayer games like Yotei and stuff, maybe they just don’t come to PC, or they come to PC years later.
The past few years has seen PlayStation release a large number of its major PlayStation titles for the PC, with the likes of God of War, God of War Ragnarok, Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales and more all seeing a PC release.
