Sony will no longer release their biggest PlayStation games on PC, claims report, starting with Ghost of Yōtei

Sony is distancing itself from the PC gaming market by ceasing the release of major PS5 single-player titles on platforms outside of its consoles, including the cancellation of the anticipated PC port for Ghost of Yōtei. This decision indicates a return to console exclusivity, contrasting with Microsoft's strategy of cross-platform integration. While single-player experiences are being confined to PlayStation, online-oriented titles like Bungie's Marathon will still be available on multiple platforms. The already-announced PC versions of Death Stranding 2 and Kena: Scars of Kosmora will proceed as planned, as they are developed by third parties. Sony's previous PC ports have underperformed, partly due to delayed releases and the requirement for PC gamers to create PlayStation Network accounts. There is concern within PlayStation that releasing games on PC could dilute the brand's identity and negatively impact PS5 sales. Additionally, the next Xbox may run on Windows, allowing it to play PC games without extensive porting, posing a potential challenge for Sony.

The creators of Postal just announced a new FPS where you play as a victim of the Postal Dude’s original killing spree, which is certainly an angle

Running With Scissors announced a first-person shooter titled Flesh & Wire, where players will take on the role of Angel, a young woman seeking vengeance against the Postal Dude from the original Postal series. The game is set in the Arizona desert and involves confronting military forces and traumatic memories. The narrative explores the consequences of the original game's storyline, particularly in relation to mass violence in America. There are concerns about the developer's ability to handle sensitive material due to their past issues, including a chaotic announcement last December that led to a game cancellation within 48 hours after fan backlash. Flesh & Wire is scheduled for release next year.

Riot Games cancels its response to Minecraft, Hytale is cancelled

Riot Games has officially announced the cancellation of Hytale, a highly anticipated project developed in collaboration with Hypixel Studios. The game's development faced significant challenges, leading to the decision to halt its progress, as stated by Hypixel Studios CEO Aaron “Noxy” Donaghey. The studio is also set to close in the coming months. This cancellation adds to Riot Games' history of discontinuing various projects, including Pool Party, which was a crossover fighting game, and Project F, a proposed MMO with no recent updates. Additionally, 2XKO, which had undergone beta testing, remains uncertain regarding its future release.
