PlayStation has continued to grow its gaming franchises over the last three decades, with a plethora of games catering to every type of player. However, all this could not have been possible with the company’s first-party studios—no matter how popular and expansive they are. Many third-party studios have played a huge role in bringing fan-favorite titles to PlayStation.
Now, Herman Hulst has also pointed out the significance of external teams in helping expand PlayStation’s portfolio. It plans to work with more third-party studios to bring unique games to its IPs.
