«If Sony can pull off what they did with single player experiences but (as) multiplayer experiences across platforms, on the PC, on consoles and maybe even on the phone, then all bets are off,» said Toto, pointing to the success of online games such as Fortnite from Epic Games.

But Bodo/Glimt’s players were forced to make an unusual and unexpected alteration to their plans ahead of kick-off when their bus was stuck in traffic and Pkv Poker struggled to negotiate the narrow north London streets near the Emirates.
The radical shift is reflected in its recent deals including the $3.6 billion acquisition of Bungie, the studio behind the multiplayer «Destiny» franchise, which Sony operates outside its PlayStation Studios network.
Sony, whose studios are known for single player console games such as «Spider-Man» and «God of War», has outlined ambitious plans to release titles on PC and mobile and offer live service games, which provide continuous updated play.
Reuters previously reported that Microsoft would pay a $3 billion break-up fee if the deal falls through, according to a source familiar with the matter, suggesting the company was confident of winning antitrust approval.

TOKYO, Oct 4 (Reuters) — Sony Group Corp’s gaming business is looking at fresh investment to bolster its push into PC and mobile, a senior executive said, as the PlayStation 5 maker competes for talent with deep-pocketed rivals and as industry dealmaking heats up.
«You should think of collaborations on the game development side first and foremost, but it’s also not unthinkable with our PlayStation Productions efforts that we explore opportunities,» Hulst said of the FromSoftware investment.
Sony is producing a growing number of game adaptations, with this year’s «Uncharted» movie grossing more than $400 million globally and a TV series based on «The Last of Us» franchise from its Naughty Dog studio launching on HBO next year.
Hulst, who is based in the Netherlands and took up his post in 2019, has overseen the growth of PlayStation Studios to 19 studios, with additions including Nixxes, which ports console games to PC, and mobile developer Savage Game Studios.
Britain’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said earlier this month the takeover of the videogame publisher maker could hurt competition in gaming consoles, subscription services and cloud gaming if Microsoft refused to give competitors access to Activision’s best-selling games.
Sept 15 (Reuters) — Britain’s antitrust watchdog said on Thursday it would launch an in-depth probe into Xbox maker Microsoft’s $69-billion purchase of «Call of Duty» maker Activision Blizzard after the tech giant failed to offer remedies to soothe competition concerns.
«Further investments in areas that will strengthen the expansion on to PC, on to mobile and into live services, that’s definitely a possibility for us,» Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, told Reuters in an interview without providing further detail.
