Video gaming company Sony is planning to increase its investment in live service games for PlayStation 5 significantly over the next few years, from an estimated 55 percent in the fiscal year 2023 to about 60 percent in 2025. Live service games see a constant stream of new content added post-launch and are purposefully designed to keep the user playing and paying. Popular live service games on PlayStation include Destiny 2 or the free-to-play title Genshin Impact. Additionally, several Sony-owned studios, such as Haven Studios, Naughty Dog, and Firewalk Studios, are currently developing live service games for Sony Interactive Entertainment.
