Sony Deletes Mention of PC from Annual Strategy Report in Favor of a Gushing About AI

Man, there was a while there where we could all be real smug about being on PC, right? Sony exclusives—save the obvious—got eventual releases on our desktops, Xbox stuff was a given, and even Nintendo, with its usual quirks, had some impressive unofficial Zelda ports. Now? We're still smug. Rightly so. But Sony decided we were living high on the hog for too long and resolved that its splashy singleplayer blockbusters would no longer be available anywhere but its own consoles.

To drive that point home, Sony has nixed any mention of PC from its annual "business environment and strategy" report. The 2026 version of the document, shared with Game File, no longer includes the line from the 2025 report that stated Sony would "continue its efforts to deploy its first-party titles to multiple platforms such as PC." Instead, the report is filled with AI-related buzzwords and promises.

The AI-Driven Future of PlayStation

"Sony is utilizing AI to unleash the creativity of studios and further enhance the PlayStation experience," the report states. That's deeply dispiriting all by itself, but wait—it gets even better. The report continues:

  • "Sony aims to improve productivity through the use of AI-powered tools, allowing development teams to reinvest their time into building richer worlds and gameplay experiences."
  • "In the platform business, Sony is working to leverage AI to route transactions more efficiently."
  • "Sony also aims to push visual fidelity forward and deliver higher quality gameplay experiences through continued investments in AI and machine learning."

Certainly gets me excited. I've never gone gaga for Sony's first-party games, but they're good-looking things. Spider-Man's New York looks and feels amazing; The Last of Us is very unpleasant; God of War's giant snake guy? Love him. Love that my subwoofer kicks into overdrive whenever he opens his mouth.

Perhaps there is a way to deploy AI that both enhances productivity without drowning all this good, human-made art direction under a tidal wave of slop. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it and I'm not making any bets. I guess it's relatively immaterial to me as a player—I don't have a PlayStation and, well, we're not seeing a Sony singleplayer game on Steam any time in the near future.
