A senior executive at Sony has indicated a strategic shift away from a purely hardware-focused business model, potentially paving the way for greater availability of PlayStation games across various gaming platforms. During a recent question-and-answer session following the company’s earnings call, Sadahiko Hayakawa, senior vice president at Sony, detailed an evolving approach centered on content creation and intellectual property development.

The forthcoming release of Helldivers 2 on Xbox, scheduled for August 26th, exemplifies this evolving strategy. Sony’s decision to make the title available beyond PlayStation 5 demonstrates a desire to capitalize on its persistent live-service revenue by reaching a larger player base across different gaming ecosystems.
