Sony is shifting its video game strategy to make future narrative-driven, single-player titles exclusive to PlayStation consoles. PlayStation studio business CEO Hermen Hulst confirmed the move during an internal company town hall.
The decision ends the recent practice of porting flagship titles like God of War and The Last of Us to PC. Sony will continue to release multiplayer and live-service games across multiple platforms.
Management intends for exclusive titles to bolster the PlayStation ecosystem and drive hardware sales. The strategy differentiates Sony from Microsoft, which is reportedly planning broader PC compatibility for its next console.
