    Sony-published Playstation single-player games. Not all Playstation single-player games. Substantial difference.

      So, for 2026 that would mean:

      • Saros
      • Wolverine

      Right? Anything else?

      I don’t see them driving the sales they need.

        And if we go a bit further back: Last of Us, God of War series, Uncharted, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, and so on. PlayStation has some absolute bangers that would have been sorely missed if they weren’t on PC.

          Absolutely, I would love to have them all on PC, I believe in preservation and everyone should play whatever they want wherever they please.

          But there’s a practical problem: none of them (except 1) met their sales target. On PC they were released late and overpriced, on a platform with an exponentially bigger catalogue. Their titles are all highly polished cinematic experiences that offer barely distinct gameplay loops & mechanics. On PS5, this visually attractive and low risk games are all good enough to meet the hype. On PC: late, overpriced, just “good” gameplay… just didn’t cut it, It’s just not enough. It’s a failure factory.

          They either fix their pipeline or they go back to what they know has worked in the past.

          They chose the latter, and I think it’s a mistake.

    I really wonder what they are thinking with that. Is it actually worth it? Would people like one game sooo much, that they actually buy a console to play it even though they own a PC? I certainly would not. So sadly no sony games for me anymore. Some where good.

      I’ve seen people buy second hand ps4 just to play Bloodborne then sell it again
