Report: Sony losing interest in bringing major PlayStation titles to PC
Sony is reportedly adjusting its multiplatform strategy and will no longer release major PlayStation 5 titles on PC.
People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg the Japanese company has been unimpressed with PC sales and is concerned that releasing titles on the platform could harm the PlayStation brand—perhaps even impacting hardware sales.
Sony has previously ported major releases like Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and The Last of Us Part I and The Last of Us Part II to PC.
It's now claimed, however, that Sony recently scrapped plans to bring Ghost of Yotei and other single-player titles to PC.
Death Stranding 2 and Kena: Scars of Kosmora (developed externally but published by PlayStation) are still expected to release on PC this year.
Online video games like Marathon, developed by PlayStation subsidiary Bungie, will also purportedly be released on multiple platforms.
Sony declined to comment when approached by Bloomberg.
Although the PlayStation maker is seemingly scaling down its mutliplatform strategy, major competitor Microsoft continues to bring its first-party franchises—such as Halo and Forza Horizon—to rival platforms. Halo: Campaign Evolved, for instance, will launch on PlayStation 5 later this year.
Nintendo, meanwhile, continues to release almost all of its titles on its own hardware.
