Sony Corporation, the electronic gaming giant and owner of the PlayStation platform,
has revealed plans to release games in the near future.
During its annual investor day, the company said that by 2025, half of its releases should be on PC or mobile,
which will subsequently reduce the share of PS releases.
The sources indicated that currently, only 10% of Sony’s releases are available for mobile,
and within three years, it is expected to double and make up 20%.
Jim Ryan of Sony Interactive Entertainment said that expanding the presence to PC and mobile, as well as live services,
would give “a chance to move from a state of being in a very narrow part” of the gaming scene to one where Sony is pretty much everywhere.
He didn’t say anything about the PlayStation 4 in particular, but according to the official slides, the launches will be called off by 2025,
which isn’t surprising since the PlayStation 5 has been out for a while now. Which is the same as what Sony did with the PS3, which was silently discarded two years after the PS4’s official launch.
According to the same source, the mobile expansion will occur through a new business unit within Sony IE,
headed by former Apple Arcade head of content Nicola Sebastiani.
It will be part of the future as important elements of the Sony community extend beyond the console-centric experience.
