A month ago, PlayStation reportedly halted plans for a PC port for its release. There was no official announcement to the public, but PlayStation Studios president Herman Hulst reportedly broke the news to employees at City Hall. Going forward, all single-player games will prioritize PlayStation over other platforms.
It may have had a rocky start, but over time, PC ports of PlayStation titles began to make great strides, giving PC gamers a chance to check out some of Sony's critically acclaimed titles on their platform of choice. Now it's over and I'm sad.

No matter how powerful the PlayStation 5 Pro is, it can't keep up with top-tier PC gaming rigs. With the 5090 running overdrive and usually some DLSS voodoo running in the background, these PlayStation PC ports performed sublimely, running at uncapped frame rates.
You don't truly appreciate the responsiveness and technical prowess of a game like this: spiderman 2 or Ghost of Tsushima Until I see it running at 120FPS+. Call it PC gamer snobbery, but once you experience it, it's hard to go back.

XBOX appears to be taking this stance on the console side by pulling out of the PS5 port, but there are still PC versions of its titles.
