Sony has said in a 2020 corporate report that it plans to bring more of its own games to the PC in the future.
“We will explore expanding our proprietary titles to the PC platform,” says the report, “to promote further growth in our profitability.” The decision to bring more of Sony’s internal catalog to the PC is cited as a key strategic point for the next direction of its gaming and networking services division.
The reason for the change is partially given in the report: “Competition from online PC games and gamers from other industries is expected to continue to intensify.” In short, Sony wants to bring games to the PC because that’s where a certain segment of the audience that buys games is already, and presumably because Sony believes they will stay there.
The statement follows the releases of Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn on PC. Both games were PS4 exclusives released much earlier on the console, and based on previous statements from Sony, more is likely to happen: delayed PC releases of the PlayStation console exclusives.
To date, no first-party PS5 exclusives have been announced for PC, although several third-party exclusives have been announced. Microsoft has announced both premium and third-party Xbox Series X exclusives for PC.
