PlayStation has a new CEO again -- kind of. Hideaki Nishino will be the sole CEO, following less than a year of serving with Hermen Hulst.

Sony is once again shaking up its leadership ranks. Effective April 1, Hideaki Nishino will be president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). Nishino was appointed CEO of the division's Platform Business Group last year.

Hiroki Totoki is now the CEO of Sony Corporation, as Hideaki Nishino is now the sole CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

PlayStation Plus is moving away from offering monthly PlayStation 4 games beginning in 2026. The paid subscription service will still offer them “occasionally,” but the main focus of the program will be PS5 games, and it only took almost the entirety of the current console’s life-cycle to see customer demand get there.

You’ll still have access to monthly PS4 games you’ve already redeemed, but Sony is shifting its focus more fully to PS5.

In addition to February’s PlayStation Plus lineup, PlayStation also announced that starting in January 2026, PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit or a focus of PlayStation Plus either on the Essential line-up side or Games Catalogue.
