🖥 PlayStation, PC, Multi-platformPlayStation exclusives aren’t coming to PC anymore
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 &8230;
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformUpdate: It's All But Official That PlayStation's Single-Player Games Will Be Exclusive Moving Forward
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2025/09/24/c0d9aab6/saros-gameplayrevealtrailerps5games4-14screenshot.jpg.webp) Update, May 18: Back in March, Bloomberg(https://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-04/sony-pulls-back-from-playstation-games-on-pc?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc3OTEyOTk3MiwiZXhwIjoxNzc5NzM0NzcyLCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUQkRNVTVLR1pBS0owMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.XEWYXBDXXg13JxGEFC1iwV140zKDSlLoblfeJluqb8) reported that then-upcoming PlayStation 5 games like Saros and Ghost of Yōtei would not be released on PC while Sony charted a return to console exclusivity. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, who wrote the aforementioned report, has now revealed on Bluesky that PlayStation CEO Hermen Hulst told staff in a company town hall meeting this morning that all future PlayStation single-player games will, in fact, be exclusive. Schreier writes on Bluesky(https://bsky.app/profile/jasonschreier.bsky.social/post/3mm5jzsls5s2a), "SCOOP: PlayStation Studio business CEO Hermen Hulst told staff in a town hall Monday morning that the company's narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive, confirming Bloomberg's reporting from earlier this year." That "single-player" callout is a big distinction, as PlayStation recently launched Marathon, Bungie's excellent first-person extraction shooter(https://gameinformer.com/review/marathon/actions-have-consequences), on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and upcoming PlayStation console-exclusives like Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls(https://gameinformer.com/product/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls) (releasing in August(https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-locks-in-an-august-launch-and-a-few-more-x-men)), which is a multiplayer title, are planned for PC too. But Uncharted and The Last of Us maker Naughty Dog's upcoming single-player sci-fi game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet(https://gameinformer.com/product/intergalactic-the-heretic-prophet), will be a PS5 exclusive (if we're following the logic of Hulst's town hall announcement). The original story continues below... Original Story, March 4: After releasing first-party games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2(https://gameinformer.com/review/marvels-spider-man-2/sticking-the-landing), God of War Ragnarök(https://gameinformer.com/review/god-of-war-ragnarok/next-to-godliness), and The Last of Us Part II(https://gameinformer.com/review/the-last-of-us-part-ii/the-last-of-us-part-ii-review-a-perfect-circle) on PC over the past six years, PlayStation is returning to console exclusivity going forward. That's according to a new report from Bloomberg(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-04/sony-pulls-back-from-playstation-games-on-pc?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc3MjYzMTM4OSwiZXhwIjoxNzczMjM2MTg5LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUQkRNVTVLR1pBS0owMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.iJ25MhKjr88ECoSb2cT3JX9MqYduN3JmMm63yusBVE&leadSource=uverify%20wall), which also says single-player games like last year's Ghost of Yōtei(https://gameinformer.com/review/ghost-of-yotei/action-and-vengeance-unbounded) and the upcoming bullet-hell shooter Saros(https://gameinformer.com/the-game-awards-2025/2025/12/11/saros-gets-a-new-gameplay-trailer-and-a-delay-to-april-2026) will not be released on PC. This is part of a wider shift in release strategy, which will see PlayStation still launch multiplayer games like this week's Marathon(https://gameinformer.com/product/marathon) and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls(https://gameinformer.com/product/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls) (releasing in August(https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-locks-in-an-august-launch-and-a-few-more-x-men)) on other platforms like PC and even Xbox, while single-player releases are expected to remain exclusive to PlayStation 5. Bloomberg cites sources familiar with PlayStation's plans for this strategy, adding that reasons for the shift include PlayStation games not selling as well on PC, concerns that PC releases could hurt the console brand (and sales), and a lack of consistency in release quality and schedules. The report says PlayStation is now returning to console exclusives, which is a notable shift away from its biggest rival, Xbox, which now releases most of its titles on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. This year's Forza Horizon 6(https://gameinformer.com/xbox-developer-direct/2026/01/22/forza-horizon-6-gets-first-gameplay-details-and-may-launch-date) and Fable(https://gameinformer.com/xbox-developer-direct/2026/01/22/the-new-fable-is-finally-arriving-in-autumn-of-this-year) are launching on PS5, for example. According to Bloomberg, there were plans to bring Ghost of Yōtei to PC, but those plans were scrapped in recent weeks alongside other planned PlayStation PC releases. That said, previously announced games like the aforementioned Marathon and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls are safe and still coming to PC, as are others like Death Stranding 2: On The Beach(https://gameinformer.com/review/death-stranding-2-on-the-beach/boundless-sincerity-aside-flaws) and Kena: Scars of Kosmora(https://gameinformer.com/2026/02/12/kena-scars-of-kosmora-guides-players-to-a-new-adventure-this-year). The report ends with notice that some executives at PlayStation may not be happy that games like God of War Ragnarök, a beloved sequel in a series that has only ever appeared on PlayStation consoles and handhelds (okay, and on mobile phones that one time), will likely be playable on an Xbox in the future, if the anticipated next-gen console from Xbox is capable of playing PC games as rumored. Though players have seen PlayStation games come to PC over the past six years, it seems those days are over, prompting a returning question: Do you buy a PlayStation 5 to play the company's next big release, or do you skip it altogether? It seems PlayStation is betting on players to do the former.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformMultiplayer Just Got More Expensive On PlayStation Thanks To PS Plus Price Hike
PlayStation Plus prices will increase for new subscribers starting May 20, but depending on your subscription status, it might not be time to panic--yet. According to Sony, only "select" regions will be affected for now, and it blames "ongoing market conditions" for the increases. So far, only monthly and three-month subscriptions are being affected(https://x.com/PlayStation/status/2056404450793938989), with new US subscribers facing an increase of $1 for a one-month PS Plus Essential subscription and a $3 increase for the three-month version of that subscription tier. For now, the annual subscription price to PS Plus remains unchanged. Current subscribers will not pay extra--unless they reside in Turkey or India--but letting your subscription lapse and then rejoining PS Plus at a later date will result in you paying the higher rate. Overall, the new prices look like this: Continue Reading at GameSpot(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/multiplayer-just-got-more-expensive-on-playstation-thanks-to-ps-plus-price-hike/1100-6540019/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformSony Will Increase PlayStation Plus Prices Later This Week Due To 'Ongoing Market Conditions'
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2023/08/30/bef2f95f/playsationpluslogo.jpg.webp) Roughly a month and a half after Sony announced price increases for the PlayStation 5(https://gameinformer.com/2026/03/27/sony-announces-playstation-5-and-portal-price-increases-coming-next-week), the company will raise the prices of PlayStation Plus Essential (the cheapest tier). Both 1-month and 3-month subscriptions will increase starting May 20 due to "ongoing market conditions," according to the announcement(https://x.com/PlayStation/status/2056404450793938989?s=20). More specifically, starting May 20, the price of a 1-month subscription will increase to $10.99, up from $9.99, while the 3-month subscription will increase to $27.99, up from $24.99; basically, the 1-month subscription will increase by $1 and the 3-month subscription will increase by $3. Sony notes that this price change will not apply to current subscribers (except those in Turkey and India) unless your existing subscription changes or lapses. As for the ongoing market conditions, Sony keeps it vague, but it's likely alluding to rising memory costs due to AI buy-up, existing economic and market struggles, and tariffs implemented by the U.S. President. This PlayStation Plus Essential price jump comes after Sony raised the price of a base PS5 to $649.99 (up from $549.99), the PS5 Digital Edition to $599.99 (up from $499.99), and the PS5 Pro to $899.99 (up from $749.99) back in March. It also raised the price of the cloud- and remote-streaming PlayStation Portal device to $249.99 (up from $199.99). Speaking of PlayStation Plus, Sony revealed last week that Star Wars Outlaws, Red Dead Redemption, and Time Crisis headline this month's Plus offerings(https://gameinformer.com/2026/05/13/star-wars-outlaws-red-dead-redemption-and-time-crisis-headline-this-months-playstation).

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, Mobile, VR, PCHow to get the Copper Earring in Wizard Alchemy
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/wizard-alchemy-copper-earring.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Early into your mage tutelage in Wizard Alchemy, you'll meet an NPC named Lombart who will send you out in search of a magical item. He wants you to find a "Goblin Earring" and bring it back to him for a sizeable stash of coins, beginning the Goblin Accessory quest. While it may seem simple, this objective can be mighty confusing if you don't know where to look. Luckily, I've gone out there and scrubbed the wilderness in search of lazy Lombat's jewellery, and I've come back to you to deliver the goods. So, if you want to complete the Goblin Accessory quest and bag yourself a very tidy sum of gold, here's what you need to know: Read more(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/wizard-alchemy-goblin-accessory)

You head out into a magical forest and, initially, do some cosy game essentials, as you find berries and leaves to grind up in your trusty mortar and pestle. You then turn your concoctions into magical incantations, before using them to eject evil wizards from this mortal plain by shooting ice spikes through their chests.
