Sony confirms delay to half its planned live service games

Sony has halved the number of live service games it plans to release by March 2026 from 12 to six.

Back in February 2022, Sony stated it aimed to launch over 10 new live service games. The news came days after it acquired Destiny developer Bungie

Now, however, it seems plans are being scaled back to ensure each live service game’s quality, as Sony president, COO and CFO Hiroki Totoki explained on a call discussing the company’s latest financial results (thanks VGC).

“We are reviewing this… we are trying as much as possible to ensure [these games] are enjoyed and liked by gamers for a long time,” said Totoki. “[Of] the 12 titles, six titles will be released by FY25 – that’s our current plan. [As for] the remaining six titles, we are still working on that.
