Sony Interactive Entertainment will integrate wholly owned subsidiary SN Systems, a developer of programming tools for game creators on PlayStation consoles, as one unified company on April 1, the company announced.
SN Systems was founded in 1990 and acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment, then Sony Computer Entertainment, in 2005. Since then, it has collaborated closely with Sony Interactive Entertainment to create software development kits and tools for PlayStation 3, PS Vita, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
“The exceptionally talented team at SN Systems has been an integral part of Sony Interactive Entertainment by driving innovation in tools development, which has been central to our success across multiple PlayStation generations,” said Sony Interactive Entertainment Platform Business Group CEO Hideaki Nishino in a press release “This next step in our partnership will strengthen our shared sense of unity. Together, we look forward to continuing to empower developers to create compelling gaming experiences for PlayStation players.”
According to Sony Interactive Entertainment, the integration of SN Systems will “drive further innovation and creativity for PlayStation products and services,” while also enhancing operational efficiencies.
