Sony is Dropping the PC Ports

Bookmarked
Steam Deck HQ Sony Reportedly Ending 1st-Party PC Releases - Steam Deck HQ Sony is reportedly ceasing development of its 1st-party games on the PC platform, with the exception of live service titles.

Sad to hear the news that Sony will stop releasing its titles on PC, in spite of the huge success of popular hits like Horizon and Spider-Man. These are some of my favorite games to play on my PC, especially the Horizon and Uncharted sequels. I understand the desire to push their own hardware, but I generally think that this is a poor decision. The best justification I have seen comes from Steam Deck HQ, who point out that the shakeup at Xbox may be to blame:

[It is an] image issue for Sony, with the next Xbox console rumored to be running Windows, meaning future Xbox consoles could play PlayStation games if they were to release on PC.

Unfortunately, the logic here is reasonable, though I think Sony is leaving money on the table.
