Sony reports that it will stop the PC deployment of single-player titles "Ghost of Yōtei" and others will remain exclusive to PS5?
It seems that online multiplayer titles will continue to be released on PC Sony has begun to withdraw from its strategy of expanding to PC, and it has been reported that "Ghost of Yōtei" and "SAROS" will remain exclusive to PS5. According to Bloomberg, Sony has drastically changed its strategy and will continue to release online games on PC, but will remain console-exclusive titles for single-player games. Sony has previously had a strategy of releasing PlayStation games on consoles and then on PC after a certain period of time. However, the new policy indicates that Microsoft, which owns competing consoles, will return to a style of console monopoly as it focuses on multi-platform deployment. As such, the fighting game MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls will be released on PS5 and PC, while Bungie's escape shooter Marathon will also be available on multiple platforms as planned. On the other hand, "DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH" and "Kena: Scars of Kosmora (tentative)", which are sold by Sony but developed by external studios, will be released on PC, but the PC version of "Ghost of Yōtei" developed by Sucker Punch Productions has been discontinued, according to Bloomberg. Bloomberg suggests that the policy has changed due to the recent slump in sales of PlayStation titles sold for PC, the risks to the PlayStation brand, and the potential impact on PS5 and even PS6 sales. However, it is also said that PlayStation games are expected to work on the next-generation Xbox (which seems to be able to play PC games), so this may have also contributed to Sony's return to the console monopoly style. While reports don't mention Marvel's Wolverine, it seems unlikely that a PC version will be released anytime soon, given that it will be released exclusively on PS5 in September 2026. Sony has been rolling out PlayStation games to PC in recent years, but not as much as Microsoft, which releases all of its games on PC at the same time as consoles. However, it adopts a phased approach, releasing single-player PlayStation titles exclusively and then releasing them on PC after a certain period of time. In addition, live-service games like HELLDIVERS 2 took a different strategy by releasing them on PC from day one, and in the case of HELLDIVERS 2, it was a record-breaking success. In fact, Bungie, a subsidiary of Sony, will release the live service escape shooter "Marathon" on PC/PS5/Xbox Series X|S at the same time....
