Sony confirms end to PC releases for major PlayStation single-player games

Sony has decided to stop releasing its biggest PlayStation 5 single-player narrative games on PC, PlayStation Studios CEO Hermen Hulst told staff during a May 18 town hall. The shift, first reported in March, begins with titles such as Ghost of Yōtei and Saros.

Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier reported the news after the May 18 town hall. Hulst informed employees that first-party single-player narrative games will remain PlayStation exclusives going forward. This approach confirms earlier reporting from March about the company's plans for upcoming releases and reverses a six-year practice of bringing major single-player titles to PC that began with Horizon Zero Dawn in 2020.

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.

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.
