It looks as though Sony is about to start cutting back on PC ports for many of its biggest PS5 releases, if a new report is to be believed.

This news comes to us from (who else?) Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who reports that Sony will no longer release its big PS5 games on PC after what he calls "six years of flirting with multi-platform releases".

Schreier's sources say that PlayStation's plans have been put into effect partly because of a lack of sales for the company's big releases on PC, and partly because there's "a faction within PlayStation" that believes PC ports are harming the PS5 "and its successors".

It's worth noting that these plans are, of course, subject to change; as Schreier notes in his article, things in the gaming industry are "unpredictable" and "constantly shifting" at the moment. For now, though, it looks like Sony is backing away from the PC...
