The recent announcement for Horizon Steel Frontiers, a massively multiplayer online game developed by NCSoft in collaboration with Guerrilla Games, revealed the title would launch on PC and mobile, with no mention of a PlayStation 5 version. According to an NCSoft executive, the studio has no objection to a PS5 release and wishes to pursue it, indicating the decision rests solely with Sony.
An NCSoft executive producer stated the company would like to bring the game to the PlayStation 5 but requires further discussions with its partner, confirming that the platform holder holds the final say. This situation suggests Sony may be strategically withholding the console version to initially build a player base on other platforms or to maintain a distinct separation between its traditional console offerings and its expanding PC and mobile initiatives. The reason for the PS5 omission remains speculative until Sony provides an official explanation.
