It sure sounds like Sony is done sharing its newest toys with the rest of us. Following up on his report from March, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said today that PlayStation boss Herman Hulst confirmed to staff that singleplayer PlayStation games will no longer come to PC. The news drives a wedge in the company's publishing efforts on the platform, which it ramped up in 2020 with a PC port of Horizon: Zero Dawn.
We've yet to hear Sony's rationalization for the decision, nor its public confirmation (PC Gamer has reached out), but it's the sort of action that explains itself. Much like Xbox's renewed interest in its own box, Sony is responding to a waning interest in consoles by reinforcing its "narrative singleplayer games" as system sellers once again. Multiplayer games like the upcoming Marvel Tōkon will still come to PC, but if you want to play the next prestige action game from the likes of Naughty Dog or Insomniac, you'll need a PS5.
