Sony Mobile Communications, a privately owned company headquartered in Japan and a subsidiary of Sony Group, was founded in 2001 and employs approximately 5,330 individuals. The company specializes in consumer electronics, engineering and designing audio, video, gaming, and communications. Through its Xperia smartphones, tablets, and smartphone accessories, it offers Sony technology combined with services and connectivity within Sony's network of entertainment and professional devices.
On July 24, a widespread PlayStation Network (PSN) outage impacted titles dependent on online connectivity, with some services gradually returning to normal. This outage, which affected players of various games including Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls during its free beta weekend, prompted physical game advocates to express concerns that future game ownership will become excessively reliant on Sony's infrastructure as PS5 disc production decreases. Previously on July 24, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot discussed Sony's plan to end physical game disc production starting January 2028. Speaking during an earnings call following the release of Ubisoft's first-quarter 2026-27 sales, Guillemot suggested that while the decision presents pros and cons, he anticipates it will not significantly disturb the industry. This reaction from Ubisoft comes amidst ongoing industry commentary more than three weeks after Sony's announcement to cease producing new PlayStation discs from January 2028.
