Following in the footsteps of Andrew House, Shawn Layden and, more recently, Jim Ryan, yet another iconic figure within Sony Interactive Entertainment is going to leave the company.
Shuhei Yoshida, current head of indie games and former president of PlayStation Studios, will leave on January 15, 2025, after over 30 years on the Japanese company.
"I’ve been with PlayStation from the beginning, and this is my 31st year with PlayStation. And when I hit 30 years, I was thinking, hmm, it may be about time for me to move on. You know, the company’s been doing great. I love PS5, I love the games that are coming out on this platform. And we have new generations of management who I respect and admire. And I’m so excited for the future of PlayStation. "
Yoshida has nevertheless made it clear that he is not retiring, and that he would like to remain involved in the industry.
