No, single games are still in play.

Sony is putting more money into SP story-driven titles, according to some reports. There’s a sense that Sony and Bethesda are particularly focused on this direction, working on fresh IPs. Games like GTA or Skyrim appear to be struggling in the online space, while the companies seem more eager to develop content for online platforms than create new games.
The issue with story-driven games and co-op is balancing characters unevenly, making each player feel their role isn’t valued. There’s also the challenge of narratives becoming confusing when multiple players join. For example, in Skyrim, if co-op were possible, deciding who gets to be the Dragonborn would be problematic due to conflicting lore interpretations.
When SP games stop working, I stop playing and go to the gym instead.
These solo adventure titles are beloved by players, yet big companies pushing for ongoing game models are steering the direction. They’re cutting down single-player projects while investing heavily in microtransactions and paid content online. It’s all about maximizing returns, and they’re pointing to these numbers as proof of the coming era! Lol
For some odd reason, single-player games might stop being made. I’ll turn off my PC, step outside, and do something different.
