Jim Ryan Reveals Sony Has 17 Studios Working On First-Party Games

Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO & President, Jim Ryan, has revealed during a presentation at CES 2022 that the format holder has a whopping 17 studios working on first-party software.

Sounds good to me. Offline games. Online games. VR games. Hybrid games. Tournament games. New IP games. Franchise games. Mobile games. F2P games. Service games. AR games?

One thing is for sure, after 25 years, we know Sony will bring the games. Guaranteed.

[Jin_Sakai]

Of those 17 some are working on multiple projects which is great. Can’t wait to see more!

[bouzebbal]

I hope one of these is working on WipEout 😫 I can barely imagine the result on PS5. Omega collection is a PS3 Vita game and still looks stellar to this day.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Agreed.

Bouzebbal, I'm hoping for a fast paced Wipeout in VR. Like the current one. There's something catchy about the music, hover ships and speed. I never thought after PS1, that I'd be playing as if I was in the cockpit years later. I want more.

[RaidenBlack]

Rumor is TLOU Remake “Nearly” Finished and Could Release Later This Year.
Tom Henderson (behind many reliable leaks, especially 2042) tweeted.

I neeeeeeeed a new WipEout. That will be a day 1. That and a New ModNation Racers PS5

[Eidolon]

Games Await

[bouzebbal]

Games are out, they await on another platform starting with X

[RaidenBlack]

We'll hear something regarding Ghostwire Tokyo this Jan or Feb

@bouzebbal

Why say that mate? The xbox as released a couple of good games for "free" if you have a subscription. Good for them. If you haven't then its paid for per game, Sony don't need to copy others.
As long as they keep doing what they always have. Most folk will be happy

[blackbeld]

Sony is still the best!

[z2g]

imagine if someone had 23 studios working on games.... ;)

[Ausbo]

“Reveals 17 studios”.

Did we not know they had 17 studios?

[dbcoops]

Maybe not everyone knew therefore its helpful information for those that didn't. Either way its great to hear so many studios are working on first party games for Playstation and considering the pedigree of many of them we are guaranteed to get some truly amazing games. Naughty Dog, Guerilla, Insomniac, Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, Polyphony, etc. It's truly a spoil of riches for Playstation gamers with games being made by the best game developers in the world.

[Magog]

They actually have 20.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...
They also have outside studios working on games they will publish as first party games.

[theindiearmy]

Yea seriously. "I have great news...our game studios are making games!" *everyone claps*

[CaptainHenry916]

So some of these studios can be working on two game's each🤔

[phoenixwing]

Yep. Great for ps5 owners. I don't have time to track one down unfortunately. Still not going to pay a scalper for one though.

[ColtPSSX]

After owning both new consoles, my advice is to wait. Yeah grab it if you can but it’s not worth scalper money. F those scalpers.

[purple101]

"Yep. Great for ps5 owners. I don't have time to track one down unfortunately. Still not going to pay a scalper for one though"

I used the Twitter trick.

Step 1 download Twitter and stop following pages such as: ps5 restock / ps5 stock alert

Step 2. Go to the settings in your phone and let Twitter be a priority, allow it to disturb even when phone is on silent and set the notifications to 'push' or ' realtime'. This will allow notifications even when your phone is locked / sleep and suchlike.

Step3 wake up at 3am and jump on Amazon etc QUIKTIME.

this is how I got one.

[Majin-vegeta]

Most of Sonys teams have two teams.
Take GG for example They're working on Horizon and a Shooter

[MrNinosan]

And Horizon VR

[S2Killinit]

Apparently ND is working on “multiple” projects. As in more than two.

[jivah]

:S Don't want to be the guy but multiple is simply more than 1. Whoever taught you this multiple is more than two stuff.. is wrong. And so are you. Js

[S2Killinit]

True. Looked it up. Multiple can mean two. But in common usage it seems people tend to use “multiple” to refer to more than two. Otherwise when they mean “two” they say something more specific like “more than one”. Although I can see someone saying multiple to mean two as well.

[jayz12381]

@purple101

Thank you for the info. I never knew about that. Will try that option certainly 👏

[Bobertt]

Hopefully one of them is working on Playstation Home 2

[kneon]

I was a bit surprised that they didn't release that with the original PSVR. I never used it much but plenty of people did and it's a good fit for VR

[P_Bomb]

Factions plz. Gotta be one of the best kept worst kept secrets since Spider-Man: No Way Home spoilers.

[Teflon02]

Seeing Naughty Dog hasn't kept it a secret and said it existed long time ago. It's not a worse kept secret.

[P_Bomb]

I never got the memo.

[S2Killinit]

ND working on multiple projects… its Christmas all over again

[got_dam]

Not gonna lie. part of me really, REALlY wanted to just post some pro xbox stuff to kick the hornets nest. But this is without a doubt the most chill comment section I've seen on n4g.

[MrChow666]

This is obviously great news, but if the headline was "Phil Spencer Reveals Microsoft Has 17 Studios Working On First-Party Games" , you would have dozens of insecure Sony slaves throwing sh*t here... :/

[TheLordOfStuff]

You are such a hero being that guy, everyone is really proud of you 👏

[EvertonFC]

It's ok for other companies to have 1st party studios you know and that's from a playstation fan, it's called the gamer wins and we have more better selection of games current and new IP.
It's all in your head Sony fans hating MS and vice versa. That's like 1% of gamers silly.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Yeah, but that's something Microsoft would never ever do, so moot point.

[Viljong]

No that would be much waited needed miracle.but ms lack the vision they cant creatr anything new instead they buy upcoming games to be xbox only. They will ruin game industry with subscription model filled with shitty games like movie services

[My_Name_is_Earl]

What part of this was previously unknown? The 17 studios? Was that not common knowledge?
That they are working on games? One would hope so.

[Elda]

Of course they are & that is absolutely fabulous.

[isarai]

Cant wait to see the next game that is tailor made for the PS5.

[darkrider]

Bring the games!

[Levii_92]

Oh yeah sure.. first party games for PS4 as well and PC down the line eyy Jim ?

[moriarty1889]

Sony first party always deliver. Should be another great gen of games for PS.

[Father__Merrin]

Sony will bring more games than any other

[jayz12381]

I see 16 Company logos on the Title of this post. Who is the 17th Company?

Edit: I do apologise, will do a Google search and update my comment

[Petebloodyonion]

Good news!
Can’t wait to see what they have to offer in the future.

[Teflon02]

I want ModNation Racers PS5!!

[Spartacus10]

They need to have another go at an fps game, the competition has weakened in that genre, especially in single player.
And Driveclub deserves another chance too with the faster SSD. I'm surprised that they didnt remaster it to show off on the PS5. It was by far the best looking game I played on PS4 and among the most fun too.

[Viljong]

GOTYs incoming

[sourOG]

Lmao infomercial comments. Let’s go to Jim and see what he says to say. “All I have to say is wow, after decades the quality is still there. A brand you can truly trust. Sony, it’s in the game.” Thanks Jim.

[KillBill]

So they are outsourcing their games.
