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 31, 2026, Sony stated it would "cautiously" move forward with its plan to end disc production for new PlayStation games starting January 2028, despite facing severe backlash. Earlier the same day, during its fiscal first-quarter earnings call, Sony responded to the controversy, with executives expressing confidence that the decision to cease making physical game discs would not negatively impact its business. The company had previously confirmed its plans to stop producing physical game discs from January 2028, prompting significant fan backlash, including social media posts and boycott plans. Sony reiterated that it would only sell codes in a box for PlayStation games. Separately, Sony Group Corp. reported a 32% profit growth in its fiscal first quarter, driven by demand for games, while also warning of a negative impact from a recent earthquake in southwestern Kumamoto.
