The video presents a lineup of titles as PS5 exclusives, including the already released Astro Bot, SAROS, Gran Turismo 7, and Ghost of Yōtei, alongside upcoming releases such as Marvel's Wolverine and God of War Laufey. The video displays the phrase \"PLAYSTATION 5 EXCLUSIVE\" for each game. This follows a March 2026 Bloomberg report citing internal sources that SIE had stopped planning PC versions for major PS5 single-player games, with Ghost of Yōtei and SAROS remaining console exclusive while online games like Marathon and MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls continue as multiplatform releases. SIE has not issued an official statement confirming a policy shift, but the video arrives after several signals pointing in that direction. Game*Spark previously reported that PC development mentions have disappeared from PlayStation Studios studio descriptions and that Sony's annual report removed references to \"PC and other multiplatform\" from its gaming segment. The video's comment section is largely filled with anger from overseas gamers over the discontinuation of physical disc versions.","whyItMatters":"The video appears to formalize a strategy shift for SIE's single-player lineup, aligning with the anonymous-source reporting and the removal of PC references from official materials, even without an explicit policy statement.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSIE has not issued a formal statement confirming an end to PC ports, but the \u0026#34;Only On PS5\u0026#34; video follows a series of indicators.

The policy was also discussed in a Famitsu interview with SIE President and CEO Hideaki Nishino in mid-May 2026, according to Game*Spark and GameBusiness.jp.
