Today Sony hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and CFO and COO Hiroki Totoki provided more insight into the performance and plans for the PlayStation business.
During the livestreamed presentation, we heard that the 116 million figure announced earlier today for PlayStation Network monthly active users us the highest ever recorded for June. Total playtime on the platform also increased 8% year-on-year.
Moving on to software, the executive explained that Helldivers 2 is performing better than expected within the forecast announced in May. The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima and the expansion of Destiny 2: The Final Shape are also “contributing to earnings” (which is bitterly ironic in view of the recent mass layoffs at Bungie).
