Sony recently shook the industry by announcing that their studio's single-player games would no longer have PC versions, as the main reason they cited weak sales, but according to new information it wasn't that bad.
Former employee Jerry Liu, who was Sony's strategy manager for PC, revealed that in the three-year period from 2021 to 2023, the company earned about 300 million US dollars from the sale of PC games, and this is not about total revenues, but about earnings. In that three-year period on PC we got: Horizon: Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Marvel Spider-Man & Miles Morales, God of War, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, Returnal, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Sackboy: A Big Adventure and The Last of Us Part I.
All the mentioned titles came only a few months after their release on the PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles, in order to put the said amount in context it is important to emphasize that although this is a small amount for Sony, the development of some of their titles a few years ago cost more than 200 million dollars per game. Again, one has to wonder why Sony recently formed a decision related to PC considering that Helldivers 2 and Stellar Blade achieved better sales on this platform than PlayStation 5, and it was recently revealed that Bungie's Marathon also had more success on PC.
