PlayStation exclusives aren’t coming to PC anymore

PlayStation 独占游戏将不再登陆 PC

A big pivot back to consoles. 向主机平台的重大回归。

Sony reportedly won’t release its major single-player PlayStation games on PC anymore. According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Hermen Hulst, who heads up PlayStation’s studios business, informed employees in a town hall on Monday about the change in strategy. Schreier had previously reported on the shift in March, saying that Sony scrapped plans to launch PC versions of last year’s Ghost of Yōtei and “other internally developed games.” Online games will still come to multiple platforms following this change in strategy, Schreier reported at the time. 据报道,索尼将不再在 PC 上发布其大型单机 PlayStation 游戏。据彭博社的 Jason Schreier 报道,负责 PlayStation 工作室业务的 Hermen Hulst 在周一的全体员工大会上通报了这一战略调整。Schreier 此前曾在 3 月份报道过这一转变,称索尼已取消了去年《羊蹄战鬼》(Ghost of Yōtei)及“其他内部开发游戏”的 PC 版发布计划。Schreier 当时报道称,在这一战略调整后,网络游戏仍将登陆多个平台。

In recent years, Sony has released many of its biggest games on PC, including Spider-Man 2, Ghost of Tsushima, both The Last of Us games, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and multiplayer titles like Helldivers 2 and Marathon. Two years ago, Hulst committed to releasing PlayStation’s live-service games “day and date” on PC and PS5, but its single-player PC releases have been less consistent, with Hulst saying that the company takes a “more strategic approach.” 近年来,索尼已在 PC 上发布了许多重磅游戏,包括《蜘蛛侠 2》、《对马岛之魂》、《最后生还者》系列两部作品、《地平线:零之曙光 重制版》,以及《绝地潜兵 2》和《马拉松》等多人游戏。两年前,Hulst 曾承诺 PlayStation 的实时服务型游戏将在 PC 和 PS5 上“同步”发布,但其单机游戏的 PC 版发布一直不太稳定,Hulst 曾表示公司采取的是一种“更具战略性的方法”。
