Let us remember that Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier reported back in the winter that Sony would stop releasing PS5 exclusives on PC. The head of PlayStation Studios, Hermen Hulst, announced the same to employees in the spring.
Publicly, the management of Sony Interactive Entertainment has so far avoided direct answers to the question about the fate of PlayStation exclusives on PC, but recent changes on the official PlayStation website speak for themselves.
As you noticed users social networksprominent PlayStation games began to display the PlayStation Exclusive label on the official website of the platform holder, which accompanied Sony exclusives before they began to be released on PC.
At the time of publication, the label is available on the page of only three PlayStation exclusives – Gran Turismo 7, Ghost of Yotei and Until Dawn 2. In addition, the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection received the PlayStation console exclusive label.

Bloomberg sources cited the lack of performance of its latest releases on PC as the reason for Sony’s change of course, as well as the harm to the PlayStation console brand from transferring its biggest hits to another platform.
The next high-profile PlayStation exclusive will be the action-adventure God of War Laufey from Santa Monica Studio – as a result of a recent postponement, the release is expected on May 20, 2027. The game is being created only for PS5.
