Sony Group Corp. no longer plans to release its big PlayStation 5 games on PC, a major shift in strategy that sees the video-game maker returning to console exclusivity after six years of flirting with multi-platform releases, according to people familiar with the company’s plans.

Online games such as Marathon and Marvel Tokon will still be released across multiple platforms, but single-player titles such as last year’s samurai hit Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming action game Saros will remain exclusive to PlayStation 5, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to talk publicly about the company’s strategy.

Also Schreier's additional take:

One important piece of context here is that when someone buys a PlayStation, Sony doesn't just get their $500+. The company also gets 30% of everything they buy on the PlayStation Store. In other words, Sony makes the most money by getting as many people as possible on its console

I'm right there with you. I'm past the point of wanting to own a console for the exclusives, if they never get released and there's no emulator available, I'm absolutely okay with never playing them.
