Earlier this year, reports revealed that PlayStation will go back to console exclusivity for its major first-party, single-player games following releasing them on PC during this console generation. Now, PlayStation Studios Head Herman Hulst confirmed to staff in a town hall meeting. He reiterated PlayStation’s major, single-player titles will go back to being PlayStation exclusive.
SCOOP: PlayStation studio business CEO Hermen Hulst told staff in a town hall Monday morning that the company’s narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive, confirming Bloomberg’s reporting from earlier this year.

Despite PlayStation Studios titles going back to console exclusivity, that will not be the case for every PlayStation first-party game. Back in March, the reports claimed that PlayStation multiplayer titles like Marathon, will still release “on multiple platforms.” As it’s been reported and shared before, it would seem that the change of heart of exclusivity is due to the poor sales on PlayStation Studios titles on PC.
It has also been noted that “a faction within PlayStation has also expressed concern that releasing their games on PC risks damaging the console’s brand and will hurt sales of the PlayStation 5 and its successors, according to the people familiar with Sony’s inner workings.”
PlayStation will still release games that have been developed externally and published by PlayStation. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has been released on PC and the upcoming Kena: Scars of Kosmora will launch on multple platforms.
Marvel’s Wolverine is the next big PlayStation Studios title from Insomniac that is set to release later this year.
