Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, indicated in a recent interview that there are significant developments anticipated for GTA VI, which is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026.

The release timelines of console games on PC have changed, with many titles now launching simultaneously with their console versions or within a year of their initial release. Major developers like Sony are leading this shift, although some franchises, such as Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series, may still have longer delays for PC releases, with speculation that Grand Theft Auto 6 might not arrive on PC until late 2027 or 2028. A quiz focused on PC ports, including remasters and HD collections, is being offered, where participants identify cropped screenshots from various games within a 14-minute time limit.

PlayStation is shifting its strategy regarding PC releases, with CEO Hermen Hulst announcing that single-player narrative experiences will now be exclusive to PlayStation consoles. This means titles like Ghost of Yotei, Saros, and Marvel’s Wolverine are unlikely to be available on PC. The decision appears to be driven by underwhelming sales figures for PlayStation games on PC and a desire to boost console purchases ahead of the potential PS6 launch. However, multiplayer games, such as MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, will still be released on PC. The gaming community is hopeful that PlayStation may reconsider its approach in the future, potentially releasing titles through its own launcher or storefront.

Hermen Hulst, CEO of PlayStation Studios, confirmed that major narrative-driven titles from PlayStation studios will be exclusive to the PlayStation platform. This indicates a shift in Sony's strategy, favoring exclusivity for flagship single-player intellectual properties. While some titles like Horizon Hunters Gathering may still release on both PC and PlayStation, major studio productions will likely be exclusive. Notable exceptions include Helldivers 2, which will launch on Xbox, and the PS5 shooter Saros, which will not be available on PC. Upcoming title Kena: Scars of Kosmora will be published on Steam and the Epic Games Store, while also being listed under Sony Interactive Entertainment on the PlayStation Store. The multiplayer game Horizon Hunters Gathering is expected to launch on PC, but future mainline entries in the Horizon series featuring protagonist Aloy are unlikely to see a PC release. Titles like Ghost of Yotei and Marvel's Wolverine are expected to remain exclusive to PlayStation.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that future internally developed single-player games will no longer be released on PC, as confirmed by CEO Hermen Hulst during a company town hall meeting. This decision means anticipated titles like Ghost of Yotei and Saros will remain exclusive to PlayStation 5, while multiplayer and live-service games will still be released on PC. This marks a shift from Sony's previous strategy that began in 2020, which included bringing major franchises like God of War to PC. The change was influenced by the underperformance of several PC releases and concerns about brand dilution. Upcoming first-party projects expected to remain console-exclusive include the God of War Trilogy Remake and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, while external publishing agreements like Death Stranding 2 and Kena: Scars of Kosmora will still see PC releases. This strategy aligns Sony more closely with Nintendo's approach to exclusivity, contrasting with Microsoft's broader release strategy.
