Sony has reported stunning figures for its Games & Network Services division, which encompasses PlayStation operations, reaching a record operating income for the fiscal year that ended on March 31. 2024 was a big year for PlayStation with releases including Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, and Astro Bot. 2025 is gearing up to be even more impressive with several high-profile first-party titles on the roadmap.
The year was certainly not without struggles for Sony, having to cut jobs and go through the Concord catastrophe midway through 2024. However, the company had good receptions for its releases on competitors' platforms, including MLB The Show 24 on various consoles and the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and God of War Ragnarok being released on PC.
A recent Sony patent publication details a low power mode feature that could potentially hint at some of the functionality of the PlayStation 6.
Sony sold 303.3 million games across all platforms, up from 286.3 million the previous year, delivering a record operating income for the fiscal year. It is an impressive feat, considering first-party sales of games fell from 39.7 million to 28.9 million. Fortunately, non-exclusive games and add-on content offered a massive boost, thanks...
