Sony is one of the most important brands in the gaming market, mainly thanks to the production of the popular PlayStation console. Sony still sees great potential in the video game market, but at the same time the company recognizes that the approach of players to video games is changing from year to year. For this reason, the company wants to slightly change its policy, which was openly said at the annual investor meeting.
At the moment, the most important area of the video game market for Sony is the aspect of releasing new games for PlayStation consoles. In this aspect, we can expect that by 2025 Sony will end support for the PS4 console and there will be no new games for this model from this year. However, more important changes will concern other aspects of the gaming market. It's about games for mobile phones and desktop computers. By 2025, Sony wants 30% of its first-party games to be available on desktops. What's more, the company also sees the potential of the mobile market, and in this aspect, Sony expects the company to release 20% of its first-party games on smartphones. Currently, around 10% of these games released by Sony are available on phones.
