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.
