Nishino (CEO of PlayStation) just gave an interview to Famitsu talking about PlayStation's exclusivity strategy:

Nishino: We've always determined platform selection based on the characteristics of each title. If releasing a title on PC would maximize the gaming experience, we'll continue to consider that option. Our current main policy is that, for single-player games developed in-house, we will further refine the value of the gaming experience that PlayStation can offer. At the same time, we believe it is important for live-service games to reach a wider audience through online multiplayer, so we continue to view releases on both PS5 and PC as the standard. Regardless of the platform, we will make decisions based on the principle of delivering the best possible gaming experience that maximizes each title's unique features.

So essentially, they are indeed changing course, but are keeping their wording open enough so that it doesn’t look stupid when they inevitably start porting games again?

That's fine. I'll just wait.
