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.

The information comes from a now-deleted LinkedIn profile, which described contributions to narrative vision and creative direction for the project. Industry reports tie this to prior hints about a game that feels like a new IP but expands the existing one.
