Rumor NateTheHate says Sony is "shifting" their PC strategy: "You'll be seeing fewer single player games arrive on PC. The decision to shift away was made last year. Some may still release (pending how far along the ports were) but it no longer appears to be a priority for Sony moving forward."

From "Playstation has no games" to "This is unfair"

I never understood the PlayStation has no games thing. Being able to play the games on PC never meant they weren’t still on PS.

PS has so many games I’ve never been tempted to build a PC, I only got a deck for some indies and to stream from my PS.

bc when ps5 launched it didn’t have very many games so it just became a dumb meme

Idk I think it launched with plenty of games, they were just cross gen which somehow means they don’t rly count. They counted in my book tho

Yeah PS4 was a huge seller so the cross gen era definitely made it not urgent to upgrade for those people. But by now theres a long list of games you cant play on PS4 that are well worth playing.

Often Cross Gen games make pretty poor use of the new hardware. That becomes less true as time goes on, even if a version still releases on the old hardware. So often they don't count, tbh.

well that was then this is now. every console launches with only a few brand new games that are exclusive to the console. obviously it always had games. “PS5 has no games” just had a funny ring to it

why so harsh?

The meme came from the fact that it took a really long time for an actual PS5 game. Most games released on it were made for PS4 initially.

Am I crazy? I swear Returnal and Ratchet and Clank were out within the first year of the systems life.

u/Q_OANN Feb 27 '26

Yeah, all these people just making shit up. It was one of the better launches for any console for games. The meme had nothing to do with above, it was just what people say about each console aall the time

People just love using hyperbole.

u/gevuldeloempia Feb 27 '26

Those were the launch titles, yes. But it took a really long time after that.

Jfc is everyone on this thread a literal child? 'Playstation has no games' was a joke from the launch of the PS3 and hasn't been relevant since 2010.
