PlayStation CEO seemingly confirms Sony’s return to exclusivity

For a few years, Sony had been porting over many of its single-player PlayStation 5 games to PC at an increasing rate. This seemed to stop rather suddenly, with the most recent addition being The Last of Us Part II back in early 2025. With rumours claiming that Sony has reversed-course on bringing more single-player titles to PC, PlayStation’s CEO has now officially commented on the matter.

Taking part in an interview with the Japanese publication Famitsu, Sony Interactive Entertainment President and CEO ‘Hideaki Nishino’ spoke on a number of topics. When asked about “reports suggesting that [Sony] might reconsider bringing PS5 titles to PC” Nishino had this to say (as translated):

“Our current main policy is that, for single-player games developed in-house, we will further refine the value of the gaming experience that PlayStation can offer. At the same time, we believe it is important for live-service games to reach a wider audience through online multiplayer, so we continue to view releases on both PS5 and PC as the standard.”

While not a 100% clear answer, Nishino did seem to acknowledge this shift in strategy – even if the phrase “further refine the value of the gaming experience that PlayStation can offer” leaves plenty of wiggle room for interpretation.

Either way, the CEO certainly isn’t refuting the rumours, and so it seems like the strategy may have indeed changed; at least for now.
