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.

Housemarque has delayed its upcoming third-person action game Saros by about a month, shifting the release from March 20 to April 30, 2026, exclusively on PS5. The announcement came alongside a new trailer at the Game Awards on December 11, 2025. The game stars actor Rahul Kohli as the protagonist Arjun Devraj.

Housemarque showcased a new trailer for its upcoming third-person action game Saros at PlayStation's State of Play on February 12, 2026. The game, set for release on April 30, 2026, for PS5, features protagonist Arjun Devraj voiced by Rahul Kohli. It introduces permanent progression systems distinct from the studio's previous title Returnal.

Sony is reportedly working on a new handheld gaming device that can play PlayStation 5 games natively without needing a Wi-Fi connection. The console builds on the existing PlayStation Portal and aims to compete directly with the Nintendo Switch. However, its launch remains years away, potentially missing the mark against upcoming competition.

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.

Obsidian's Avowed, originally an Xbox and PC exclusive, will launch on PlayStation 5 on February 17, 2026, nearly a year after its debut. The PS5 version includes an anniversary update with new features like New Game Plus and additional playable races. This move continues Microsoft's trend of porting select titles to Sony's platform.

Pearl Abyss's marketing director Will Powers has addressed accusations that the studio is withholding console review codes for Crimson Desert ahead of its March 19 launch. Powers stated on social media that the team is not hiding information and plans to reveal more details in time for preorders. The controversy draws comparisons to Cyberpunk 2077's troubled console release in 2020.
