PlayStation boss reportedly pivots on PC, says new singleplayer games will remain PS5-exclusive

If you want to play upcoming first-party Sony games like Marvel’s Wolverine, the God of War Trilogy remake or Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, you’re going to need a PS5 to do so.

That’s according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier who says that PlayStation boss Hermen Hulst revealed to staff today that the company will keep singleplayer PS5 games on the console and no longer bring them to PC. Online multiplayer games such as Marathon, MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and the like will remain multiplatform.

PlayStation has been bringing a wide array of its first-party games to PC over the past several years, including the Marvel’s Spider-Man games, The Last of Us series, and Ghost of Tsushima on digital storefronts like Steam. That strategy is now apparently changing, so Ghost of Yotei and recently-released SAROS won’t be coming to PC after all.

The reasoning for the change was not immediately available, according to Schreier, but he opined that it likely has to do with weak sales on PC. Most of the PS5 games that came to PC did so after a period of console exclusivity, perhaps dampering interest.

For many years, PlayStation console sales have been buoyed by not only hugely popular multiplayer games like Call of Duty, but also a line of well-made singleplayer titles such as the Uncharted series, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, Horizon, and recently titles like Astro Bot. Many PC-centric gamers may have waited for titles to launch on Steam in recent years, but apparently not enough of them for Sony to keep bringing games to the platform.

I think having more games on more platforms is a great thing, but I can see where Sony is coming from. For example, XBOX games being readily available on PC in this generation has made it so I and many others didn’t need the console to play many titles since I have a gaming PC. Now, there won’t be a choice for upcoming games like Marvel’s Wolverine in September.

The Bloomberg report comes on the heels of today’s announcement that PlayStation Plus will be increasing in price. So, whether or not you play on PC or console only, you’ll need to have some cash in the bank to indulge in just about anything.

The Bioscanner is a pretty important tool in Subnautica 2, and we will need to unlock it to reach the end of the campaign in the early access. Moreover, we can also use it to scan alien lifeforms, which gives us more perks like extra Biomods.

Like most things inside the game, we will have to find the blueprint for this item before we get to use it.

Bioscanner blueprint location in Subnautica 2

To unlock the Bioscanner, we need to scan just one blueprint. However, we will have to travel all the way to the fourth Angel Comb in the Alien Ruins. From there, keep moving upwards until you come across a crashed Alterra starship wreck.

You can refer to the image above to find the entrance. You’ll need the Repair Tool to proceed since one of the key doorways will be inaccessible at first. Repair the door, and head to the next room. Take the door on your left in this room, and go to the next one.

You’ll find an Iso in this room resting on a dining table and an upgrade for your Tadpole submarine. Look carefully at the corner, and you’ll find a hole that goes through a chamber. Follow the chamber until you reach the end, and you’ll come across the Bioscanner. Use your Scanner to unlock the blueprint.

How to craft the Bioscanner in Subnautica 2

The Bioscanner is an upgrade over your Scanner, and you’ll need the Modification Station. You’ll also need the required resources to craft the Bioscanner. This item scans quicker, and it also allows you to check out certain lifeforms that aren’t detected by the ordinary scanner.

Moreover, you’ll also need the Bioscanner to scan the broken turbine before you can activate it to reach the end of the game (as of writing).
