Sony won’t be bringing any more single-player games to PC, says PlayStation Studios boss

Sony is shifting away from releasing major single-player games on PC, according to PlayStation Studios CEO Hermen Hulst, who confirmed the strategy change during a company town hall on Monday. The announcement marks a reversal of the company’s approach over the past several years, during which it brought popular titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man 2, and Horizon: Zero Dawn to PC following their console launches.

The decision follows reports from March indicating that PlayStation games have underperformed on PC. According to sources, PC ports risk damaging the PlayStation 5’s console brand and could hurt sales of current and future PlayStation hardware. Under the new strategy, narrative single-player games from PlayStation Studios will remain exclusive to PlayStation consoles, while multiplayer titles will continue receiving multi-platform releases.

The move represents a significant departure from recent industry trends, where both major console makers have increasingly brought first-party exclusives to PC. Games potentially affected include upcoming titles like Ghost of Yōtei, Saros, and Marvel’s Wolverine, which will now launch only on PlayStation 5. This strategy aims to differentiate PlayStation in the console market and leverage exclusive single-player experiences as a key selling point for the PS5, currently priced at $599.99 ($649.99 for the disc-based model).
