19. Mai 2026

Von KI berichtet

Sony hat entschieden, seine erzählerischen Single-Player-Spiele exklusiv für die PlayStation 5 zu behalten und sie nicht länger für den PC zu veröffentlichen. Dies geht aus einer internen Bestätigung eines hochrangigen Managers hervor und kehrt die frühere Strategie um, mehr Titel auf andere Plattformen zu bringen.

Hermen Hulst, Chef der PlayStation Studios, teilte den Mitarbeitern während einer Betriebsversammlung am Montag mit, dass die erzählerischen Single-Player-Spiele des Unternehmens nun PlayStation-exklusiv bleiben werden. Bloomberg-Reporter Jason Schreier teilte diese Details auf Bluesky mit und merkte an, dass die Entscheidung frühere Berichte vom März bestätigt. Hulsts Äußerungen fielen zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem Sony Bedenken hinsichtlich schwacher PC-Verkäufe sowie Risiken für die Marke PlayStation 5 und zukünftige Konsolen abwägt.
