Sony Interactive Entertainment's online service business has not developed as smoothly as planned, which has led the outside world to believe that this business shift is ultimately a wrong decision.

As early as 2022, Jim Ryan, then president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced on an earnings call that the company plans to launch and operate 12 online service games by 2025.Now we know that eight of the games have been cancelled, which indicates that the publisher's progress in the online service field has failed.

Among these 4 online service games that have not yet been cancelled, Arrow Studio's "Jedi 2" has proven to be very successful.The developer recently revealed that the game currently has more than 15 million players worldwide, with 3 million new players added since it reported 12 million players in May 2024.

The other three games are still under development and have not yet proven their own strength.Both Bungie's Marathon and Haven Studio's Fairgames$ are underway for internal testing.Meanwhile, little is known about Guerilla Games' Horizon online project.

A consumer survey conducted in the second quarter of 2023 showed that most game audiences prefer single-player games over online service games.
