About this episode

The episode discusses Sony's potential reconsideration of PC game ports for its first-party titles amidst low sales and competition concerns.

Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! On this week's episode, the crew discusses a recent report that Sony might be rethinking PC ports in the future. Specifically, first-party single-player games like Ghost of Yōtei, Marvel's Wolverine, and others might not see PC versions. Multiplayer titles like Bungie's Marathon—published by Sony—will still see multiplatform releases. The report cites low sales for Sony's PC titles, and a possible risk to PS5 and eventually PS6 hardware. But we have another theory: with the eventual release of the Steam Machine and the possible next Xbox merging PC and console gaming, maybe Sony doesn't want their titles appearing on a rival's console platform?
