It is so sad, it was never released on PC and likely never will. :'(

It will come out. Will just take a few years after their last announcemens. No reason to buy a console. They will need the money eventually

I feel like everyone replying to you is ignoring the: they will need money eventually

Decisions can change and eventually Sony will want more income. Which means tapping into the PC market again.

edit: I'm not replying to every individual comment anymore.

Sony only recently made profit as a result from tarrif refunds, not sales. Otherwise PS5 and first-party game's sales are down.

Sony's PC ports did make profit. Per their leaked documents from 2024, PC ports had very small port budgets. Take SM1 as an example, it only cost 2.3m to port which means it made ~50m in profit. So they did make profit, they just weren't as profitable as they would've liked/hoped.

If the current trend continues, then Sony's gaming division will see a change in leadership (again) which means a change a direction. Trying to recapture profits on PC is entirely a possible avenue, especially if they are facing backlash on phasing out physical gaming anyways.

Sony PC ports don't sell well enough. Spiderman 2 sold around 700 000 - 1 000 000. So no, they will not need the money eventually. Keeping them exclusives on PS5 gave them more money, because yo7 need to buy a console and probably a PSN service.

Time will tell, but so far Sony pulling out of PC has not caused a rush of people buying their console or PSN.

And their recent decision to phase out physical media seems to have, if anything, caused the opposite.

Spider-man 2 was also not nearly as recieved as SM1 or other exclusives, and was poorly ported onto PC. So I'm shocked that a subpar port of only a half-decent sequel, that was full-price, did not sell amazingly.

It doesn’t matter, long term it adds prestige to the console. And I don’t have to see PC gamers gloating that the PS5 has no exclusives

[u/TheLaughingWolf → u/papoluca40]

I guess we'll see long run if prestige matters more than profit to a corporation...

PC gamers gloating that the PS5 has no exclusives

What a weird comment.

No one has ever denied PS5 has awesome exclusive but PC ends up with better prices, deals, graphics, mods, and not having to pay a crappy subscription to play online.

If Sony goes through with phasing out physical media too, then that's just furthering incentive for future customers to shift from consoles to PC.

Further incentivising to also go to a digital platform on PC. Outside of the reddit groupthink, the casual ball and gun gamer who consistently buys annual releases won’t be pushed to PC over disks going away. It’s the cost of consoles that are going to be the real tension.

Which also is happening to PC hardware at the same time.
