Sony single-player games won’t be released on Steam anymore, CEO confirms.

Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hermen Hulst confirmed during a company town hall that Sony will no longer release its big single-player titles on PC. Online games such as *Marathon* and *MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls* will still be made available on PC, while external publishing deals like *Kena: Scars of Kosmora* are not affected.

This marks a reversal of Sony's recent strategy of bringing flagship single-player games to PC after a timed exclusivity period, potentially limiting the audience for upcoming titles like *Marvel's Wolverine* and *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*.

Key details

• Sony's Studio Business Group CEO Hermen Hulst confirmed the decision during a company town hall, as reported by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.
• The confirmation follows a March Bloomberg report that *Ghost of Yotei* and *Saros* would remain PS5 exclusives.
• Online games like *Marathon* and *MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls* will still be released on PC.
• External publishing deals, such as *Kena: Scars of Kosmora*, are not affected by the policy change.

Discussion angles

• Many commenters expressed indifference, noting they already have a large backlog of single-player games on Steam.
• Several users predicted Sony will eventually reverse this decision to pursue PC revenue.
• A common sentiment was frustration and a refusal to buy a PlayStation console solely for these exclusives.
• Some argued that the long exclusivity periods for past titles like *God of War* and *Horizon* already failed to convert PC players to PS5, making this audience a lost cause for Sony.
