From PC World: Well, we knew it was coming, but now it’s more or less official. According to reports coming out of a PlayStation Studios meeting today, major single-player narrative games from Sony’s first-party publisher will no longer be coming to PC. That marks the end of a short but enjoyable time of games like Spider-Man, Horizon: Zero Dawn, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima coming to PC gamers.
Oh, and if you were still hoping for Bloodborne, maybe just give up on that particular pony. I’m so sorry.
It makes sense. As Nintendo’s Switch 2 heats up, Microsoft apparently shows a renewed commitment to the Xbox platform, and Valve plans a console beachhead with the Steam Machine, Sony might feel the need to refocus on its core gaming business. That means keeping hold of the family jewels, specifically its stable of PlayStation Studios games that don’t appear on the Xbox or Switch.
But it’s still a shame. I’ll bet that most PC gamers can find at least one or two titles in the PlayStation Studios PC catalog that they really enjoy — Horizon is one of my personal favorites, and there’s a lot of variety in there. God of War is a gritty mythological combat-focused narrative game, Uncharted is basically Indiana Jones for millennials, Death Stranding is a is surreal game about tripping a lot and peeing in jars, and The Last of Us is widely considered one of the best series in the last decade. Now for further games in these and other series, you’ll need a PlayStation 5…which isn’t getting any cheaper, just like everything else.
