In Sony’s latest financial presentation, the company has revealed that it is planning to have a 50-50 investment split between existing and new PlayStation IPs by fiscal year 2025. Not only that, but new data regarding PlayStation Plus has been revealed too.
According to Sony’s presentation, the company is seeking to expand their IP by increasing new IP investment by 50 percent in fiscal year 2025.
As part of its investment on new IP, Sony plans two or more major releases per year, covering every major genre (shooter, racing, RPG, etc.), and it will be a mix of big franchise and new IP.
In addition to that, Sony has also revealed that 14.1 million players have subscribed to either PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium in the first 10 months. Not only thatm but 30 percent of all PS Plus members are subscribed to one of the higher tiers.
Those are quite some impressive stats! Also part fo the presentation, Sony announced that the PS5 has higher life-to-date (LTD) spending per console than the PS4!
With Sony’s deal with Deviation Games, first-party Haven Studio, Bungie and more, we should be hearing or seeing more about Sony’s new properties at some point in the PS5’s lifecycle.
This is where they shine the most.
