Sony Reportedly Ends PC Releases for Major PlayStation Single-Player Games

Sony is reportedly ending plans to bring its major single-player PlayStation games to PC, according to comments attributed to PlayStation Studios CEO Hermen Hulst during an internal company meeting. The reported decision would affect flagship franchises such as God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Horizon, and The Last of Us.

Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said on Bluesky that Hulst told staff during a town hall meeting that the company’s narrative-focused single-player games would remain exclusive to PlayStation hardware. The comments reportedly confirm earlier Bloomberg reporting that Sony was reconsidering its PC strategy for first-party titles.

If implemented broadly, the move would mark a major shift for Sony, which in recent years expanded several PlayStation exclusives to PC after their console launches. Games including God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and The Last of Us previously received PC versions months or years after debuting on PlayStation consoles.

Multiplayer Games Still Expected on PC

The reported policy change appears limited to major single-player releases. Multiplayer titles and live service games backed by Sony are still expected to launch on PC alongside PlayStation platforms.

Helldivers 2, one of Sony’s most successful multiplayer releases in recent years, remains available across multiple platforms, including Xbox. Bungie’s upcoming shooter Marathon is also planned as a multi-platform release despite Bungie being owned by Sony.

According to the report, Horizon Hunters Gathering, a multiplayer spinoff connected to Guerrilla Games’ Horizon franchise, is still expected to launch on PC. However, future mainline Horizon games focused on protagonist Aloy would reportedly remain PlayStation-only under Sony’s new direction.

Future Games Potentially Affected

The reported strategy could affect several upcoming PlayStation projects. Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and Housemarque’s Saros are now unlikely to receive PC ports, according to Schreier.

The change may also rule out future PC releases for titles such as Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, and Marvel’s Wolverine from Insomniac Games. Ghost of Tsushima was released on PC in 2024 after its original PlayStation launch.

The report noted that Sony’s revised strategy does not necessarily apply to independently developed games published or supported by PlayStation. Kena: Scars of Kosmora, developed by Ember Lab, is still expected to launch on both PlayStation and PC platforms.

The reported comments come as Sony continues to evaluate its broader publishing strategy after mixed results from its live service push. Former Sony executives previously questioned whether simultaneous PC launches were beneficial for the company’s major AAA releases, although Sony has not publicly announced a complete withdrawal from the PC market.
