As a new report that Sony may buy FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa Corporation, circulates, former Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra says "it's probably a top 2 acquisition in video gaming in the last 15+ years if not ever". The only other deal as good he can think of is Microsoft buying Minecraft for "only" $2.5 billion.
Sony has sent a letter of intent to Kadokawa Corporation, which owns Dark Souls and Elden Ring developer FromSoftware as well as other entertainment properties such as the Delicious in Dungeon anime. The move would certainly make sense for Sony, which is already in the broader entertainment market, not just video games specifically.
