Shawn Layden, Head Of PlayStation’s Game Studios, Departs – Kotaku

Sony has announced that Shawn Layden, chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios and a mainstay of PlayStation’s E3 press conferences, will be leaving the company. No reason used to be given for his departure, and a successor has no longer been named.

Formerly president and CEO of Sony Laptop Leisure The US (unless Sony’s regions were introduced under one roof in 2018), Layden had been with Sony since 1987, serving in roles like vice president of Sony Laptop Leisure Europe and president of Sony Laptop Leisure Japan.

When Sony consolidated its worldwide PlayStation divisions into a single unit in 2018, Layden used to be now no longer president of Sony Interactive Leisure The US, and the company acknowledged he as a change would “listen his heart of attention” on main Sony’s sport pattern studios.
