According to Jason Schreier, PlayStation Studio Business CEO Herman Hulst stated internally that it will no longer release PlayStation 5 single-player games on other platforms. The announcement comes a few months after Bloomberg initially reported early discussions of this new initiative for Sony.
Online games such as Marvel Tokōn: Fighting Souls and Marathon will still release on multiple platforms, including PC. However, PlayStation it appears that Ghost of Yōtei and SAROS will no longer release for other platforms. Further, it is now evident that Marvel’s Wolverine, the previously released God of War: Sons of Sparta, and the upcoming God of War remakes will also not be available on PC, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch. The reason for the decision is currently unknown.
