Sony\u2019s next first-party game is Saros<\/a>, Housemarque\u2019s successor to sci-fi shooter roguelike Returnal. That game came to PC two years after its PlayStation 5 launch. Will Saros\u00a0get a similar Steam port or remain a console exclusive amid Sony\u2019s new reported shift away from PC? The game\u2019s director isn\u2019t saying.<\/p>\n

Gregory Louden, who joined Housemarque from Remedy Entertainment, dodged the question when it was recently put to him by Game Informer. \u201cToday we\u2019re only talking about Saros and the launch on the PlayStation 5,\u201d he said during a recent interview<\/a>. That non-answer comes as Sony has remained silent about growing reports that it\u2019s pulling back from bringing its single-player games to PC.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg<\/a>, Sony is not currently planning to release its recent and upcoming blockbusters like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine on Steam as it has with previous entries in those franchises (yes, I\u2019m treating all of Insomniac\u2019s Marvel games as a \u201cfranchise\u201d). Those ports were estimated to have sold poorly relative to Sony\u2019s ambition for the platform, though it\u2019s unclear how much of that comes down to the staggered release strategy and poor marketing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been speculation that Sony wants to double down on the PlayStation ecosystem<\/a>, especially as PS5 runs away with this console generation. The PC pullback could also have something to do with Microsoft moving toward a next-gen console that supports rival storefronts and Valve launching the console-like Steam Machine.<\/p>\n

Both devices would let you play Sony\u2019s Spider-Man 2 in your living room on non-PlayStation hardware. The company doesn\u2019t seem to want Saros<\/a> and other games to be a part of that possible future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sony\u2019s next first-party game is Saros, Housemarque\u2019s successor to sci-fi shooter roguelike Returnal.
