By the end of the fiscal year of March 2022, PlayStation had acquired a number of companies, including housemarque, the developer of the return of death, blupoint, the developer of the devil's Soul: remaking, firesprite and Valkyrie entertainment, and nixxes, the PC version migration studio.
Recently, Sony also invested in discord, devolver digital and Epic Games. Negotiations are also under way to fully acquire Bungie and haven studios.
Jim Ryan said, "we have been very active in the field of investment and M & A. The purpose of these investments is to increase the core strength of Playstation, but also to gain expertise in the field of game development, because we have no significant influence in this field."
Ryan also said: "in terms of future M & A activities, we have not completed our strategy of trying to comprehensively develop PlayStation. As we transition from a long-standing game development strategy to today's broader and open market, it is likely that more acquisitions will be needed to help us realize these dreams."
"If the potential objectives are in line with our strategy and can enable us to accelerate the achievement of our strategic objectives, we will certainly consider further M & A activities to enhance our business portfolio."
