Sony eager to explore other product lines to enhance comeptetive rank.

Sony Group are looking into fresh investment to boost its push for mobile and PC business, as the PlayStation maker already competes heavily for talent with ‘deep-pocketed’ opposition and as the industry dealmaking boils up.

Sony who’s famously known for its single player console games such as “God of War” and “Spider-Man”, has displayed its ambitious strategy to release titles on mobile and PC. The plan also includes the offering of live service games, which provide continuous updated play (Reuters). The drastic shift has been reflected in the recent deals, such as the acquisition of Bungie worth $3.6 billion (investing.com). It is the studio behind the “Destiny” franchise, which Sony already operates externally to its PlayStation studios. Other investments include the buying of a minority stake in Japanese developing company called FromSoftware.

The PlayStation creator is raising a growing number of game adaptations, with this year’s “Uncharted” film generating a whopping $400 million globally and a TV series from its Naughty Dog studio launching on HBO next year (investing.com). Hermen Hust, head of PlayStation Studios, says he has overseen the growth as time went by. “Further investments in areas that will strengthen the expansion on PC, on to mobile and into live services, that's definitely a possibility for us" – told Reuters in an interview.
