Shuhei Yoshida is leaving PlayStation in January 2025, after more than 30 years at the company. Even if you don’t know that name, you’ve definitely seen his effect on the company, either as Worldwide Studios president, or in his later role as head of PlayStation’s Indies Initiative. Yoshida hasn’t said what his next move will be, though he confirmed on social media that he is not retiring and would like to stay in the games industry.
Yoshida has been with PlayStation since 1993, as a member of the team that launched the original console, led by Ken Kutanagi.
