Sony’s latest investor presentation has been released online and it shows that Sony will start having its first-party studios make live service games.
In the slide which highlights key areas Sony is looking to grow, the company highlights that it wants to “develop more service-led experiences within 1st party roster” and that those games will release on consoles (PS5) and other platforms, which is likely PC (although the games could come to Xbox Series S/X).
The first of these games will likely be Naughty Dog’s Factions multiplayer for The Last of Us Part 2, which leaked last year and is still being worked on. It is clear Sony is shifting most of its studios to be two game developers so most developers under PlayStation Studios might develop a live-service game for PS5.
What are your thoughts on this and do you think it will take away from Sony’s current output of games or add to it? Elsewhere, this presentation has revealed that God of War Ragnarok is the name of the next game in the franchise and that Uncharted 4 is coming to PC.
