CTOnews.com, Sept. 25, Sony has repeatedly stated that it will strengthen service-oriented games in the future, and a number of works are under development, which makes many people worry about whether the first-party games of PlayStation will still attach importance to traditional types in the future.

CTOnews.com Note: "service game" is not limited to the specific type or content of the game, but is only used to describe a kind of game that focuses on "continuous update, so as to extend the life cycle and IP popularity". It can also be understood as "the game releases a framework first, and then updates it slowly later."

▲ such as "APEX Hero" is a "service game" with the release of new documents in the FTC v. Microsoft acquisition, during a court question and answer session, Jim Ryan was asked whether Sony's first-party game revenue doubling plan "depends on its 10 real-time service game strategies to be released by April 2026 (which has now increased to 12)."

In response, Jim Ryan said it would still focus on story-driven games, claiming: "it would be naive to think that you can achieve great success with these 10 games, which is not a necessary condition for our first party's revenue doubling plan."

While we focus on service-oriented games, we will continue to focus on our series of works that have provided good service over the years. These story-driven games with beautiful pictures and wonderful plots are the cornerstone of our first-party distribution business.

Of course, this is not the first time PlayStation executives have made such comments. In March last year, Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, said they would continue to make single-player story-driven games.
