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.
