New PlayStation co-CEOs outline strategy and upcoming releases in first joint interview
Sony Interactive Entertainment has appointed Hermen Hulst and Hideaki Nishino as co-CEOs, marking a shift in leadership strategy. They emphasize their distinct roles: Nishino oversees the platform business, while Hulst manages the studio side, aiming for specialized growth. Recent developments include the closure of Firewalk Studios and Neon Koi, alongside layoffs at Bungie. Despite these challenges, PlayStation has received positive feedback for upcoming titles like "Ghost of Yōtei" and the anticipated "Astro Bot" platformer. The PS5 Pro is set to launch soon, offering enhanced features within the current generation. Hulst and Nishino stress that the Pro is not a next-gen console but an option for consumers seeking improved performance.
