Sony's transformation from hardware manufacturer to entertainment giant accelerated this week as CEO Hiroki Totoki declared the company's gaming platform must become both "the best place to play" and "the best place to publish." The admission came during a rare English interview where Totoki revealed entertainment now generates more than 60% of Sony's total revenue, with gaming representing the largest portion of that segment.
The executive emphasized relationships with third-party publishers alongside Sony's own first-party studios as critical components of this strategy. "We are always talking about PlayStation should be the best place to play from the user's perspective," he said. "But also we must be the best place to publish."
Evidence of working toward that goal emerged simultaneously with reports that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 finally received fixes for persistent HDR issues on PS5 Pro. The open-world RPG from Warhorse Studios had suffered visual problems since its February 2025 release, but multiple users confirmed improvements this week following a recent update.
PS5 Pro users noted that while spatial audio functionality remains problematic across both PS5 and PS5 Pro versions, the HDR correction makes Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 look better than ever on Sony's premium console.
The game currently sells at half price on PlayStation Store through April 9, dropping from $70 to $34.99. The content push continues with April's PlayStation Plus lineup, which adds three titles starting Tuesday, April 7.
Subscribers gain access to Soulslike action RPG Lords of the Fallen, MMORPG-style Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered featuring Lara Croft's original adventures with all expansions included. The Tomb Raider collection arrives amid controversy over recently added cosmetics that some fans criticized as looking like AI-generated content. Publisher Aspyr denied using artificial intelligence tools, stating outfits added via update were created by their artists team.
Despite leading Sony's entertainment-focused future, Totoki revealed he doesn't consider himself a big gamer personally. The CEO prefers music and TV dramas, specifically mentioning UK rock band Oasis whose Tokyo Dome performance he attended last year.
