Next-Gen Xbox Will Run PC Games, Too

Sony is reportedly pulling the plug on future PC ports of highly-rated PlayStation games, starting with Ghost of Yotei.
Sony is reportedly reversing its PC strategy, keeping its biggest first-party PlayStation games exclusive to consoles.
According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, last year's plans for a Ghost of Yotei PC port were recently scrapped and the upcoming action game Saros will also remain exclusive to PS5. Sources intimate with Sony's strategy did mention that plans could change in the future.
According to a new report, Sony is rolling back its strategy of releasing big, exclusive, single-player PlayStation games — the likes of Marvel’s Spider-Man, The Last of Us, and God of War — on Windows PC.
According to reports, Sony are pivoting away from PlayStation games on PC and returning to the simpler days of console exclusivity.
Sony no longer plans to bring current and future single-player games to personal computers, according to Bloomberg. The report specifically names last year’s Ghost of Yotei and the soon-to-be-released Returnal successor, Saros, as games whose PC plans have been canceled. Some multiplayer and third-party titles will still reach PCs, however.
After an initial disclosure from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, two prominent leakers have backed his account that Sony could be shifting away from releasing single-player titles on PC. According to Schreier, that may mean that upcoming games like Marvel's Wolverine or any future God of War sequels may not come to PC at all.
Sony is reportedly pulling back on PlayStation PC ports, and the catalyst for that decision may be the emergence of Valve's Steam Machine.
