Sony’s PC ports outperform Xbox on PS5 ports, but Steam is being discarded

Alinea Analytics data indicate Sony has earned about $1.2B in take-home revenue from PlayStation PC ports by late 2025 (roughly $1.5B gross before Valve’s 30% cut), with Helldivers 2 contributing heavily via Steam sales. By comparison, Xbox’s PS5 PC port revenue is around $667M, led by Forza Horizon 5. The figures aren’t apples-to-apples due to different rollout timelines (Sony began PC releases in 2020; Microsoft started on PS5 in 2024) and market scale. The piece notes Sony’s PC strategy faced issues (PSN regional restrictions, early technical problems) and that Sony plans to wind down its PC port efforts and exit Steam, signaling a pivot toward AI and broader strategy, while Xbox appears to be moderating its cross‑platform push.
