as part of its push into the live-service game genre. But, it appears that not every executive is all-in on the idea.
Speaking to The Guardian, PlayStation boss, Shuhei Yoshida, explained his personal thoughts about the gaming industry's fascination with live service titles, saying: The games industry will never cease to be a fun place. The industry keeps growing and growing, and I hope it keeps supporting and chasing creative ideas and people who try to work on new things. You don't want to see the Top 10 games every year being almost the same, all games becoming service games. That would be a bit boring, for me. PlayStation has expanded its horizon in recent years, changing its stance on exclusivity as it ports a growing number of its best-selling titles to other platforms, specifically, the PC. More importantly, Sony is targeting at least 10 live-service games by 2026 and it has acquired several studios in recent years to make it happen. But, single-player games are still the brand's bread and better, as evidenced by the success of Horizon Forbidden West, God of War: Ragnarok, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, in the past two years.
