Sony dropping PC ports from its single-player games, and also raising PSN prices

Not a good week for us penny pinchers

Sadly, for Taylor, Sony has stated that it will no longer be bringing its future single-player focused PlayStation titles to PC. Sorry, bud. You’re never going to play Saros.

That’s the word directly from PlayStation Studios CEO Hermen Hulst, who dropped the info at a company-wide town hall today. As first reported by Jason Schreier, this includes the latest releases (Ghost of Yotei and Saros) and upcoming games like Wolverine and the God of War Trilogy Remake.

This is, right now, focused specifically on the narrative single-player games. Bungie’s Marathon and upcoming multiplayer projects like Marvel Tokon will still make their way to PC. This also doesn’t affect games developed by third parties with Sony as a publisher, like the Kena sequel, or the MLB The Show series which is tied to Major League Baseball licenses.

Bummer!

For some time now it’s been rumored that Sony would be pulling back on the sales of its games on other platforms, with one of the issues being diminishing returns on port efforts. Timing (the narrative games usually land upwards of a year or more after launching on PS5) is also likely a factor, but to what extent is unknown; narrative games tend to sell better with the core PlayStation audience while the multiplayer efforts are more widespread.

In another piece of crappy news, Sony has now informed folks that it’s raising the prices of PSN for new customers in various regions — essentially all of them.

Citing the now famous “market conditions” the real culprit is that the cost of running servers is getting hella expensive due to the ongoing chip crisis (thanks, AI!) and the war in Iran causing domino effects everywhere.

Sony states that “prices will start at $10.99 USD / €9.99 EUR / £7.99 GBP for 1-month subscriptions and $27.99 USD / €27.99 EUR / £21.99 GBP for 3-month subscriptions. This price change does not apply to current subscribers (except in Turkey and India) unless the existing subscription changes or lapses.”

Also not fun!

Hey, it’s getting more expensive to buy new games, so let’s just Streetpass forever.
