Sony will no longer release its major single-player PlayStation games on PC. The company informed employees of the strategy change during a town hall on Monday. Hermen Hulst, who heads PlayStation's studios business, delivered the update. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier first reported the information.

In recent years Sony has released several major titles on PC after their PlayStation debuts. Those games include Spider-Man 2, Ghost of Tsushima, both The Last of Us games, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. Multiplayer titles such as Helldivers 2 and Marathon have also appeared on PC.

Hulst previously committed to releasing live-service games on the same day for PC and PlayStation 5. Single-player releases followed a more selective schedule. In March, Schreier reported that Sony had already canceled plans to bring Ghost of Yōtei and other internally developed games to PC.
