This may have been on PCG, and I just missed it. Basically, they aren't getting huge sales on PC for single-player games and are considering not releasing them on PC anymore. Games-as-a-service games like Helldivers 2 will still come directly to PC.

In more cheerful news:

Resident Evil: Requiem hits 334,214 concurrent players over launch weekend, breaking franchise record

Number of players on Steam is triple that of Requiem's predecessor, Resident Evil: Village

Note to AAA companies. Be extraordinary and worth the $70 you are charging.

It might not have been on PC Gamer yet. Right now, it's just rumors, so they might be waiting for a more official announcement.

Sales figures aren't bad, but management might see them as competing with themselves by releasing on PC. If they release on PC a year+ after PS, they'll have to do the marketing again. If they release closer to the same time, people stop buying PlayStation and just stick with PCs.

By the way, has there been a price hike on PS5s yet? They have to use memory, too.
