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 has abandoned plans to release current and future first-party single-player PlayStation games on PC, according to a Bloomberg report. Titles including last year's Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming Saros—a Returnal successor set for April 30—will stay exclusive to PS5, while multiplayer games like Marathon (launching tomorrow on PS5 and PC) and Marvel Tokon continue multi-platform. This reverses six years of ports since 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.
