The Sony game business has achieved impressive growth in the recent fiscal season. Thanks to the sales of the best -selling action game "Black Myth: Goku", the game makes up for the impact of the disaster sales of "Xingming Special Attack".

Of course, it also obtains income from sales outside its platform, such as Steam.However, the sales of PS5 have continued to decline in the sales of these sales.
