PlayStation is traditionally known for its high-quality AAA singleplayer games, but in recent years, the company has made a concerted effort to expand into the live service field. Back in 2022, Sony executive Hiroki Totoki told investors that PlayStation had plans to release more than 10 live service games by March 2026. This was, no doubt, an incredibly difficult goal to achieve, especially considering there weren’t really any studios under the PlayStation umbrella that had experience with live service titles at the time. The decision to launch so many GAAS games in such a short time frame also caused some controversy, since many were concerned that it would lead to oversaturation in the gaming market. Nonetheless, Sony pushed on with its endeavors.
