PlayStation drops ‘PC’ and adds ‘AI’ in a new annual business report.

Sony removed any mention of games coming to PC in its annual business report for PlayStation, and added details on how it will utilize AI in game development.

Below is the full text, which can be found starting on page 50 in their report.

(2) How AI evolves the PlayStation experience

• As AI lowers barriers to creation and increases the volume and diversity of content, the PlayStation
  platform and studios are expected to remain critical in delivering high quality experiences and helping
  players discover the right content in an increasingly crowded landscape.
• Within the studio business, AI powered tools are automating repetitive workflows and improving
  productivity across areas such as software development, quality assurance, 3D modeling, and animation,
  allowing production teams to focus on building richer worlds and gameplay experiences.
• Across the platform business, AI is driving efficiency, personalization, and customer value at scale,
  while continued investments in AI and machine learning are expected to push visual fidelity forward
  and deliver higher quality player experiences.
• Overall, AI is expected to unleash the creativity of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s studios, power a
  more curated and consumer-centric platform, and enhance the PlayStation experience, supported by its
  global player base, deep IP library, and integrated ecosystem.

Fans and devs are obviously worried about this, despite PlayStation saying last month ‘AI is a powerful tool – but it is not a replacement for artists or creators.’

Another notable change is the apparent omission of PC from Sony’s latest corporate strategy report. As noted by Game File, last year’s version specifically stated that Sony would continue bringing first-party titles to additional platforms such as PC, but that language no longer appears in the 2026 report.

The change aligns with reporting from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who reported on PlayStation boss Hermen Hulst telling staff that narrative single-player games will be PlayStation exclusive. According to Bloomberg, Sony believes day-and-date PC releases could weaken the PlayStation brand and impact console sales.
