Sony reportedly won’t release its major single-player PlayStation games on PC anymore. According to Bloomberg ’s Jason Schreier, Hermen Hulst, who heads up PlayStation’s studios business, informed employees in a town hall on Monday about the change in strategy. Schreier had previously reported on the shift in March, saying that Sony scrapped plans to launch PC versions of last year’s Ghost of Yōtei and “other internally developed games.” Online games will still come to multiple platforms following this change in strategy, Schreier reported at the time.

In recent years, Sony has released many of its biggest games on PC, including Spider-Man 2, Ghost of Tsushima, both The Last of Us games, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and multiplayer titles like Helldivers 2 and Marathon. Two years ago, Hulst committed to releasing PlayStation’s live-service games “day and date” on PC and PS5, but its single-player PC releases have been less consistent, with Hulst saying that the company takes a “more strategic approach.”

Sony may not be the only one to go back to exclusives; Asha Sharma, Microsoft’s new Xbox chief, told staff that she is “reevaluating” exclusive games for the platform.
