New Delhi: PlayStation’s PC strategy may be heading for a major reset. According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, PlayStation Studios CEO Hermen Hulst told staff this week that the company’s narrative single-player games will now stay exclusive to PlayStation consoles.
For PC players, this is a big shift. Sony had spent the last few years bringing games like Marvel’s Spider-Man, The Last of Us, Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima to PC after their console release. That window may now close for future story-heavy titles.
SCOOP: PlayStation studio business CEO Hermen Hulst told staff in a town hall Monday morning that the company’s narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive, confirming Bloomberg’s reporting from earlier this year.

PlayStation single-player games may stay on PS5
Schreier said Hulst made the comment during a company town hall on Monday. He reported that “narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive.” This lines up with earlier reports that Sony had started pulling back from PC ports for major first-party titles.
That means games such as Ghost of Yotei, Saros and Marvel’s Wolverine are not expected to come to PC. For Indian gamers who waited for Steam sales and PC upgrades instead of buying a console, this will sting a bit. I mean, many of us have done that maths before. New GPU or new console? Painful question.
Why Sony may be changing its PC plan
The likely reason is simple. Some PlayStation PC ports did not sell as strongly as expected. The context says industry analysts had pointed to weaker Steam sales for games such as God of War Ragnarök and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 compared with older PC releases.
There was also concern inside PlayStation that PC releases could hurt the console brand and PS5 sales. Bloomberg’s report said some within PlayStation worried that bringing these games to PC may damage the console’s image and affect sales of the PS5 and future machines.
Multiplayer games may still come to PC
The PC door is not fully shut. Multiplayer titles are still expected to come to more platforms. Marathon from Bungie had a multiplatform release, and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is also listed for PC.
