At Sony Interactive Entertainment, the company behind PlayStation, we aim to build a future for players of all abilities. Accessibility is a core part of this mission, ensuring more players can enjoy, engage with, and see themselves reflected in the games we create. When we understand the perspectives from gamers with lived experience it leads to the creation of new and innovative accessibility features.

For more than 15 years, PlayStation Plus has been built around a simple idea: delivering meaningful value to players through high-quality gaming experiences tailored to how they play. And that vision continues today. With our latest campaign, “More of What You Love,” PlayStation Plus is focused on helping players discover more of what matters to them through a service designed for engagement and empowering each player to expand their own world of play.

Making a game takes heart. Publishing one takes courage. For small teams, the journey can feel overwhelming—but you’re not alone. Indies power PlayStation’s future, and we thrive because creators like you take risks and push the medium forward. We want you to succeed, and we’re here to help you get started in the way that works best for your team. No two games are alike. No two paths are either.

When I was growing up playing on my Atari in the 80s, my parents never really worried about what my brother and I were up to. We were in our living room, right in front of my parents, and they got to dictate how long we were allowed to engage in this little “hobby.” Fast forward to 2026 and the rules of the game have changed vastly. Gaming, especially online, has become so much more than just a pastime for kids. It’s a much needed space for creativity, self expression, and connection.

As we reflect on Safer Internet Day, an annual global initiative that emphasizes the importance of online safety and encourages responsible use of technology, we reaffirm our dedication to creating a safer gaming environment for our PlayStation community. Supporting Safer Internet Day aligns with our commitment to fostering player safety and wellness across PlayStation.

Sony Interactive Entertainment, Nintendo, and Microsoft continue to collaborate to improve player safety across our platforms since we first announced our shared commitment to safer gaming. We believe gaming is for everyone and strive to provide experiences that are positive and enjoyable for all, especially for our youngest players.
