Based in Japan, Sony is one of the 50 highest-valued brands in the world. Sony engages with diverse markets, including entertainment, electronics, financial services, gaming, communications, and music publishing. Despite the wide range of the corporate group's interests, Sony remains a dominant influence in video games and the electronics needed to play these games.
Under the umbrella of Sony Interactive Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sony Group Corporation, Sony operates PlayStation, which develops gaming consoles, headsets, and other accessories that immerse the player in the video game experience. The Sony PlayStation 5 PS5 Slim Ultra HD Blu-ray Edition Console (UK Plug) plays 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, allowing gamers to enjoy a range of games. While PlayStation consoles are one of the brand's most sought-after products, it also offers virtual reality (VR) headsets for accessing 3D spaces and portable remote players for PlayStation consoles.
In-house studios also develop PlayStation-exclusive games for Sony. These video games can only be played on a PlayStation console. Some of the most popular include The Last Of Us, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS4 & PS5, God Of War, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, and Shadow of the Colossus. Many of these video games offer sequels or continuations of the same universe. For example, the Sony PS4 The Last of Us Part II Special Edition Video Game 3004826 takes place five years after the original video game.
Sony is known for producing high-quality consoles with increased hardware power and for creating some of the best single-player games in the industry.
