GamesIndustry published a big interview with Sean Benson, Head of Acquisitions and Third Party Portfolio at Sony Interactive Entertainment.
The most important of the material:
-
Sony is betting on new technologies when it comes to games from third-party companies. Also in VR
-
The mission is to make PlayStation the best place to play
-
Benson and the team are constantly thinking about what the next five years will be like for the gaming industry.
-
Sony is now trying to spend less resources on exclusives, but is investing in making PS5 versions of games better than the competition
-
Sony doesn’t pay to include DualSense features in games
-
Small studios are an important part of Sony’s policy
-
Stray, Kena, Sifu are great examples of indies that the company has supported
-
PC is an important platform for small studios, so Sony sees no problem with indies coming out there too
-
Benson will try to prevent such that by the end of the generation of PS5 Sony again switched to big AAA and forgot about indie
PS5 is now available for sale in many regions of the world.
