Industry reporter, Jason Schreier, has confirmed that, as per advice given to staff by head of PlayStation Studios, Hermen Hulst, new narrative single-player titles from PlayStation will be entirely exclusive to console going forward.
This lines up with earlier reports from Schreier at Bloomberg, which suggested that, while multiplayer-enabled games such as Marathon and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, would continue to be released on both PS5 and PC, the company will no longer port its big, single-player exclusives like Ghost of Yotei or Wolverine to PC. Sony also has Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and a still-mysterious God of War trilogy remake on the way, as well.
Externally developed but Sony-published titles seem spared this fate at the moment, like the recent Death Stranding 2: On the Beach or the upcoming Kena: Scars of Kosmora,
The reasons for the shift in strategy, as per the March reports, are allegedly poor sales of their games on PC and the concern that PC releases could hurt PS5 hardware sales (which is it??).
PlayStation has also just announced a price increase for its base online subscription, PlayStation Plus Essential, and not long ago upped the price on its console hardware, so it seems the purse strings are well and truly being tightened over at the gaming giant.
