As Sony Interactive Entertainment’s head of third-party portfolio and acquisitions, Shawne Benson is in a good position to trace the platform holder’s evolving strategies when it comes to – in her words – “making PlayStation the best place to play.”
Benson has been with Sony in a portfolio role since early 2017, and took over her current title in 2021. Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz ahead of this month’s DICE Summit, Benson says she’s seen a significant change in what her role entails as part of the larger PlayStation strategy, in part due to where the company has been in the console generation lifecycle.
