These Numbers Explain Why Sony Is Stopping Porting PS5 Games to PC

Sony is recalibrating its strategy for releasing single-player games on PC due to disappointing sales figures for several key titles. For example, God of War Ragnarok had 6.9 million players on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 at launch, but only 300,000 players on PC, which raises questions about the value of such ports. The lengthy gap between the original release and the PC port, nearly two years for God of War Ragnarok, may have contributed to the poor reception. Reports indicate that Sony has decided to halt the development of PC ports for its major single-player titles while continuing to support live service games and select externally developed projects. This shift suggests a strategic retreat, as the additional sales on PC may not justify the investment compared to millions sold on PlayStation.
