Subscribe to our newsletter Videogame oracle Jason Schreier has issued a dire portent: Sony might be gearing up to reverse its push onto PC of the past six years. In the latest episode of the Triple Click podcast, Schreier said that “the sense I’m getting is that [Sony is] backing away from putting their exclusive console stuff—like, traditional singleplayer stuff—on PC.”Schreier—whose games industry newshound credentials are hard to argue with—later followed up his podcast comments with a post on Resetera: “It’s not speculation, but sometimes topics come up on the show before I’m quite ready to publish a story about them.” As an added bonus, Digital Foundry’s John Linneman made similar comments on one of that outlet’s shows, remarking that “I actually have an inkling that [Sony is] pulling away from PC. Watch this space.”Schreier suggested his understanding is that Sony’s “strategy is live-service games are coming to PC,” but that we can, perhaps, kiss goodbye to the days when pretty much every Sony first-party console exclusive was all but guaranteed to make its way to our platform of choice. “We’re seeing Wolverine coming in September—they just announced it’s coming September 15.
