Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Hideaki Nishino says the company intends to continue releasing live-service games despite recent setbacks. In interviews reported by outlets, Nishino acknowledges that several live-service titles have been cancelled, pointing to a period in which multiple multiplayer projects did not reach launch or were discontinued. Even so, he reiterates that live-service games remain a strategic priority for Sony.
Nishino frames live-service games as a way to provide ongoing content to players, emphasizing the goal of continuously offering something new rather than focusing only on one-time releases. The comments indicate Sony is reassessing its approach in response to past failures while maintaining that the business model still plays an important role.
While details on which specific games or timelines are not included in the available summaries, both reports agree that Nishino’s stance is to persist with multiplayer live-service plans rather than abandoning the category following the cancellations.
