Sony's "real-time service game plan" is not going well, and officials have announced the postponement of six works.

CTOnews.com, November 10 (Xinhua)-- Sony has repeatedly stated that it will strengthen service-oriented games in the future, and previously said it would launch 12 real-time service games by March 2026, but the relevant games do not seem to be going well.

CTOnews.com Note: "service game" is not limited to the specific type or content of the game, but is only used to describe a kind of game that focuses on "continuous update, so as to extend the life cycle and IP popularity". It can also be understood as "the game releases a framework first, and then updates it slowly later."

It is reported that at Sony's earnings presentation today, 10:00 Yuki, president of SIE, said that he was reviewing the 12 planned "real-time service" games.

10:00 Hiroshu said that Sony SIE is doing its best to ensure that these service-oriented games are favored and loved by players in the long term, and that six of the 12 previously planned works will be released on schedule, while the remaining six are expected to be postponed.

At 10:00, Yuki reiterated that promoting real-time service games is Sony's constant strategic policy, and that Sony will continue to focus on game quality.

▲ Picture Source IGN is not favored by the outside world. Bloomberg recently criticized Sony's strategy, saying that even if Sony acquired Bungie, which specializes in real-time service games, it would only play a "limited transformational role". The idea that Sony is now turning its energy to real-time service games is actually "contrary" to most of Sony's first-party studios.
