January 15 marks Shuhei Yoshida’s last day at Sony, as he announced in November 2024. Yoshida is moving on after serving as president of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Worldwide Studios from 2008 to 2019, and as head of Sony’s Indies Initiative since then. But before heading out the door, Yoshida had two indie-centric announcements to make, including an appearance in an upcoming game.
To cap off his 31-year career with PlayStation, Yoshida chose 22 of his favorite games to feature as the PSN’s Monthly Picks feature. While the list features games like Ghost of Tsushima and Nioh 2, it leans heavily toward indies — unsurprising for someone who spent his career championing smaller developers and helping them get their games onto PlayStation.
