According to anonymous sources familiar with the company's plans, Sony no longer plans to release their big single player titles onto PC; those games will revert to being PS5 exclusive, while online-focused titles such as Marathon and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls will remain multi-platform releases. Apparently, plans for Ghost of Yotei and other internally developed games to have PC releases were recently scrapped. It's speculated that the shift in strategy may be due to recent PlayStation games not selling well on PC, as well as concerns that releasing games on PC risks damaging the console's brand and hurting PlayStation 5 sales numbers.

I remember a long time ago seeing sales/player numbers for various PS5 games released on Steam, and although I can't recall where it was or what all the numbers were I do remember some of them were pretty dire. Hmm
