Sony wants to put more money into new original franchises from PlayStation Studios

By the end of 2025, Sony apparently plans to put 50 percent of the finances for the Playstation Studios alone into new original franchises. That goes from the new investor report from Sony.

It is not yet known which new IPs will be involved, but Sony already seems to be thinking big about the upcoming projects. After all, Sony wants to significantly expand this area of ​​the new franchises.

In recent years, Sony has placed particular emphasis on the further development of existing IPs. Apparently only 23% of the money went to new franchises and the majority to established shows, but that’s now set to be balanced.

As early as the end of 2022, Sony wants to shift the ratio to 66 (for existing IPs) to 34 percent (for new IPs) of the funds until the investments are then balanced at 50/50 at the end of the 2025 financial year.

Now it only remains to be seen what new original franchises Sony, or more specifically the PlayStation Studios development teams, will create in the years to come. After all, Sony has expanded significantly in recent years, with companies like Housemarque, Bluepoint and Bungie.

In addition to new IPs, some PC ports of Playstation titles and TV adaptations of some games as series are also planned – including not only The Last of Us, as was already known, but apparently also Horizon, God of War and Gran Turismo as ideas .

Sony’s new Playstation Plus subscription, which has already started in Asia and is of course also part of the financial report, is on its way to us. Despite a sea of ​​numbers and data, it can be enlightening to peruse Sony’s gaming financial report and revisit just how many segments of the market are attached to this company.
