Overview
- Bloomberg reports plans for PC versions of Ghost of Yōtei and Housemarque’s Saros were canceled in recent weeks, keeping both titles PS5-only.
- Online and live-service releases, plus select externally developed PlayStation-published games, are still slated for PC and other platforms, including Marathon, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Death Stranding 2 and Kena: Scars of Kosmora.
- Sources attribute the shift to weaker sales for recent PC ports, fears of diluting the PlayStation brand and console sales, and inconsistent execution of the porting strategy.
- Coverage notes competitive pressures such as Microsoft’s multiplatform approach and a rumored next Xbox that could run PC storefronts like Steam.
- Sony declined to comment to Bloomberg, and sources emphasized that the strategy could change as industry conditions evolve.
