If you were hoping to play Housemarque’s Returnal successor, Saros, on PC, we’ve got some disappointing news for you.
According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Sony Group Corp. no longer plans to release first-party PS5 games on PC as part of a major strategy shift, a move that will undoubtably come as a disappointment to many players.
Some reassuring news is that online games such as Marathon and Marvel Tokon will still arrive on PC and so will PlayStation published games Death Stranding 2 and Kena: Scars of Kosmora.
Why the shift in strategy you might ask? Well, one suggested reason is that Sony games haven’t historically sold well on PC. Moving away from console exclusives also potentially provides less incentive for consumers to pick up a PS5 or a more expensive PS5 Pro.
Until we’ve heard official word from Sony, though, this should be taken with a grain of salt and Schreier even acknowledges within the story that the video game industry remains unpredictable.
Saros is planned to launch on PS5 and PS5 Pro on 30th April. For everything you need to know on the game’s setting, cast of characters, and its launch editions, you can read our new guide here.
