According to rumors, the “Beyond Borders” event was supposed to be dedicated to PlayStation games coming to Microsoft or Nintendo consoles, and it was also expected that the PlayStation 5 Pro would be announced. In the end, the company simply shared its vision of how the company will operate.
The most important takeaway from the show was the confirmation that “PlayStation 5 is already very successful” and Sony is “very pleased with the results”.
Sony will use Crunchyroll and PlayStation Network to drive audience engagement, confirming strong production capabilities thanks to acquisitions. They also mentioned the PlayStation India Hero Project and the use of machine learning for voice dialogues in Spider-Man 2. Sony's HawkEye technology helps capture sporting events in real time.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned “going beyond” concerned bringing the PlayStation brand into theme parks – special attractions related to Uncharted and The Last of Us have been prepared.
Gamers did not hide their disappointment with the information, as the gaming giant made no mention of any major gaming plans..
