Sony Investing $2.1B In Gaming R&D, Focusing on Live Service - Insider Gaming

INSIDER-GAMING.COM
Sony has expressed an intention to flesh out its PlayStation portfolio with live service games and has invested $2.1B to see it done.
Quote

Not only that but Sony Group has also expressed a desire to pivot towards a model that focuses much more succinctly on live service titles, with Nikkei’s article referencing the fact that ‘Sony itself has yet to make a splash in live service games.’

 

According to the report published by Nikkei.com, Sony plans to allocate a staggering 60% of all PlayStation 5 development spending to live service games exclusively for the year ending March 2026. It was also stated that there’s a grand goal in place to have no fewer than twelve live service games in the PlayStation portfolio within that same timeline.

 

Furthermore, it was explained that Sony Group also has plans to break into the metaverse in a much more meaningful way, exploring avenues made up of ‘extended reality’ and making use of studios around the world to drive research and development into the space.

New look for PS5 console this holiday season

BLOG.PLAYSTATION.COM
Smaller PS5 design comes with 1TB storage for PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition; new model provides option to add an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive to PS5 Digital Edition.

 

Quote

 

As the holiday season approaches, we are excited to share that we have a new PS5 model launching. To address the evolving needs of players, our engineering and design teams collaborated on a new form factor that provides greater choice and flexibility. The same technology features that make PS5 the best to play are packed into a smaller form factor, along with an attachable Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive and a 1TB SSD for more internal storage.

 

The new PS5 has been reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models. There are four separate cover panels, with the top portion in a glossy look, while the bottom remains in matte. If you purchase the PS5 Digital Edition, you can add the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 later, as it will also be sold separately for 79.99 USD | 119.99 EURO | 99.99 GBP | 11,980 JPY.

So if you get a digital edition with a disc drive it costs more than the version with just the disc drive.

 

And wasn't it a $100 difference between the two previously? Now it's only $50.


Yes, but, you see, you can attach something you probably don’t want to it now, so it’s worth an extra $50.

I'm good.  I invested in matte black plates, a black DualSense, and a 4TB SSD for my current; I've dumped enough cash into PS5.

I only buy tech revisions, I’ve never bought a cosmetic revision and this certainly won’t be the first. 

 

I'm guessing collectors with some pocket money get slim revisions despite owning the original. Otherwise, I figured it's a way to limit the cost of creating consoles for new customers to buy.

Stealth price increase. >_>

 

The way to attach the drive is pretty slick, I admit. But... might as well just get the regular one.

Didn't realize the physical edition could also remove its disc drive. So they found a way to make this one SKU (if I'm looking at this correctly).

 

Yeah they should now essentially only need to manufacture the one type of ps5 and then just choose how many to attach the modular disc add on to or not

Sony Is Cutting Its PlayStation Live Service Calendar In Half

WWW.FORBES.COM
It feels like yesterday when Sony was laying out a plan to use 60% of its PlayStation budget to make and release 12 live service games in the next few years. Now, after internal reports that...

“We are reviewing this. We have not been able to meet the gamers' expectations, but we are trying as much as possible that this would be played by the gamers and liked by gamers for a long time. So six titles will be released by FY '25. That's our current plan. And the remaining six titles, as for when to be released, we are still working on that.”
