- Ghost of Yotei’s PC port was scrapped despite being nearly complete, claims insider.
- Sources were surprised at Sony’s cancellation of the port, as it was extremely far along in development.
- Furthermore, many expected the launch to move forward due to the upcoming Legends multiplayer mode, but the PC edition has been scrapped completely.
After several years of underwhelming PC ports, Sony has finally pulled back on its PC release strategy. Many things could have influenced this decision, including the lackluster sales of these games on PC and the rumored Xbox-Steam integration in Project Helix that would make PlayStation first-party titles playable on Xbox.
Whatever the case, PlayStation fans are very happy with this outcome, with over 70% approving of the Japanese giant’s decision. However, on the other hand, PC players won’t be keen to learn that titles like Ghost of Yotei won’t release on the platform anymore, despite being completely ready for launch.
Why It Matters: Sony could have benefited from the extra players Ghost of Yotei’s Legends mode attained on PC, and scrapping this port could turn out to be a hasty mistake.
According to insider DetectiveSeeds, the Ghost of Yotei PC port was “extremely far along” and had almost finished development, with a 2026 launch date set in stone before the strategic shift from PlayStation.
As per the leaker’s sources, the cancellation of the Saros port did not surprise anyone at the company, but many expected Ghost of Yotei to end up on PC because its development was close to completion.
Furthermore, the insider also predicted Sony would go ahead with the release as the player base on PC would help the upcoming Legends multiplayer mode launching in Ghost of Yotei on March 10, 2026.
However, as reported earlier, the PC edition of the Sucker Punch adventure game has been completely scrapped alongside Saros and won’t see the light of day thanks to the new PlayStation strategy.
Do you think scrapping the Ghost of Yotei PC port is a good idea, considering how far along it was? Should Sony have released the game on Steam to attract more players for the Legends mode? Tell us in the comments below or head to the Tech4Gamers forum for discussion.
