Sony halts major PC releases for PlayStation 5 games, citing low PC sales and engagement, to boost console sales.
A 2026 Newzoo report confirms Sony’s practice of delaying major PlayStation 5 games on PC—often by over a year—has sharply reduced PC sales and player engagement, with PC shares dropping to single digits compared to 44% for simultaneous releases.
Early ports saw higher PC adoption, but recent titles like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarök underperformed, with only 7% and 6% of players on PC.
The study attributes this to missed initial demand windows.
In response, Sony has reportedly halted future major first-party exclusives on PC, keeping them console-only, while live-service games remain available.
Internal data shows PC ports contributed just 1.5% of revenue, supporting the shift to strengthen PlayStation’s ecosystem and hardware sales amid rising competition.
