- A new report reveals Sony is sticking to first-party single-player titles on PS5 only.
- Only live service and multiplayer titles will be ported over to other platforms.
- Ghost of Yotei and Saros ports were in the plans, but have now been scrapped.
Recently, a report emerged, revealing that PlayStation is now backtracking on its multiplatform strategy. After kicking off PC ports for its exclusives with Horizon Zero Dawn, most of the first-party launches made their way over to PC.
A new report has doubled down on it, claiming that the Ghost of Yotei and Saros PC ports were initially planned, but now they’ve been scrapped. Instead, PlayStation will completely skip releasing single-player games on PC.
Why it matters: Recent PlayStation PC ports haven’t been that successful. They found immense success initially with games like Horizon and God of War, but the recent few have sold much less and have been lackluster.
According to Bloomberg’s new report, we shouldn’t expect anymore PC ports. So, games like Ghost of Yotei, Saros, Wolverine, and all future single-player releases will be exclusive to PS5, in a major strategy shift.
The multiplatform strategy will now only apply to live service titles like the upcoming Marathon, Fairgames, and more. This means Sony wants to add value to its consoles, which Xbox has now failed to do.
While some PC players would be disappointed, PlayStation fans have calling out Sony to skip on its multiplatform strategy for a very long time. And now, it seems they have reevaluated and will do just that.
