A few months back, it was reported that PlayStation was pulling back from releasing its single-player blockbusters on PC. Now, that has apparently been confirmed internally at Sony in a townhall meeting.<\/p>\n
Jason Schreier has followed up on his original story by posting to Bluesky, revealing that \u201cPlayStation studio business CEO Hermen Hulst told staff in a town hall Monday morning that the company\u2019s narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive\u201d.<\/p>\n
Notice that single-player games were once again specified, indicating that Sony still intends on publishing multiplayer-focused and live-service style games -like the upcoming Horizon Hunters Gathering \u2013 on PC so that I can bring in as big a crowd as possible.<\/p>\n
While it hasn\u2019t been said outright, the most likely reasoning is that Sony\u2019s PC ports have been slowly declining in terms of sales, thus Sony has probably decided that the damage to the PlayStation brand isn\u2019t worth the trade-off. On the other hand, as people have rightly pointed out, 1 or 2 million copies on PC is a relatively easy way to get some extra cash from games that have been out for a while.<\/p>\n
Sony also never tried launching one of their big singleplayer exclusives day and date on PC, leaving us to wonder just how well it could have done.<\/p>\n
In other Sony news, the price of PlayStation Plus Essential has been raised. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
