Had a great week in S. Korea at our PlayStation Develop event, which had 200 developers and publishers in attendance. Was great meeting so many amazing creators.

@WayForward
on Duck Tales during my time at Capcom. And the team's experience with Shantae was a large part of our confidence that they could pull our project off. Congratulations.
Twenty years ago today, the original Shantae game was released on Game Boy Color, and a fan-favorite franchise was born! Thanks so much for supporting

Back after a great week in the UK for PS Partner Connect. Feedback from our partners was amazing. Our Partner Experience team killed it.
@daraobriain
knows our industry and was really gracious and fun to chat with. Looking forward to our Asia event in Tokyo in a couple months.
This is a great write-up of some of the things our team is doing to support game developers in India coming out of India GDC last week. This is just the beginning.
Had a productive week in the UK. Even got to shoot over to our office in Liverpool to spend some time with the teams out here. Looking forward to getting home.
Been playing Gran Blue Fantasy with my daughter recently. Some absolutely crazy boss fights. Jump in with some friends as you move through the campaign.

I’m totally beat after a very full week at the US PlayStation Partner Connect event. Our partner experience team did an amazing job. Looking forward to the next one in the UK in a few weeks.
I’ve slept in my own bed 3 days in the past month but I’m headed home from Tokyo today. The last few weeks I’ve had the immense pleasure of meeting with, getting demos from and eating/drinking with many of the most amazing creators from Korea and Japan. Our 3P partners rule.
Pick up Pacific Drive on the PlayStation 5 right now for 20% off as part of the May Savings event.
If you've been waiting to grab it on PS5, here's your chance!
Tired after a very productive week meeting with dozens of partners in Cologne. Feels like there’s a sense of growing optimism across the industry and you love to see it. And now home… if this Uber driver doesn’t kill me on the way to the airport.
