Saros director dodges PC questions amid Sony's reported port pullback

Housemarque's Gregory Louden avoided questions on a potential PC release for the studio's upcoming PS5 game Saros in a recent interview, focusing solely on its PlayStation launch. This follows Bloomberg reports that Sony has scrapped PC ports for first-party single-player titles including Saros.

Housemarque, known for the PS5 roguelike Returnal (which later came to PC), is developing Saros as its next Sony first-party title. In a Game Informer interview, director Gregory Louden—who joined from Remedy Entertainment—sidestepped PC queries, stating, “Today we’re only talking about Saros and the launch on the PlayStation 5.”

The comments come after a March Bloomberg report revealed Sony recently abandoned PC plans for single-player blockbusters like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine, citing underperformance of prior ports. Sony has not officially confirmed the shift, which aims to bolster the PlayStation ecosystem. A PlayStation spokesperson declined to comment.

Sony Interactive Entertainment telah membatalkan rencana merilis game PlayStation single-player first-party saat ini dan mendatang di PC, menurut laporan Bloomberg. Judul-judul termasuk Ghost of Yotei tahun lalu dan Saros yang akan datang—penerus Returnal yang dijadwalkan 30 April—akan tetap eksklusif untuk PS5, sementara game multiplayer seperti Marathon (meluncur besok di PS5 dan PC) dan Marvel Tokon tetap multi-platform. Ini membalikkan enam tahun port sejak Horizon Zero Dawn.

Following its delay to April 30, 2026, Housemarque's roguelike shooter Saros saw reviews go live on April 24 after a restrictive embargo lifted, earning acclaim for combat evolutions beyond Returnal while critics decried limits on narrative discussion. The PS5 title follows protagonist Arjun Devraj on the eclipsed planet Carcosa.

Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier suggests Sony is shifting strategy to keep traditional single-player first-party games exclusive to PlayStation consoles. Live service titles would still launch on PC, but upcoming releases like Marvel's Wolverine appear headed for console-only debuts. This marks a potential reversal from recent years when hits like God of War reached PC platforms.

A new report examines why sales of PlayStation exclusives ported to PC have underperformed. It points to a potential major reason behind the disappointing figures for these games.

Sony telah menutup Dark Outlaw Games, studio pihak pertama yang didirikan pada tahun 2025 oleh mantan produser Call of Duty Jason Blundell, bahkan sebelum studio tersebut sempat mengumumkan judul debut PlayStation mereka. Jason Schreier dari Bloomberg melaporkan penutupan tersebut, yang menyusul pengumuman internal pada hari Selasa dan sejalan dengan pengurangan staf PlayStation yang lebih luas, termasuk tim pengembangan seluler, di tengah tantangan Sony dalam menghadapi gim multipemain dan layanan langsung (live-service).

Bloober Team, the Polish horror game developer behind the Silent Hill 2 remake and Cronos: The New Dawn, has appointed three new leaders as it transitions to managing multiple projects. The studio is now working on two first-party single-player horror games and five co-developments. CEO Piotr Babieno emphasized the move supports long-term stability without overextending.
