Sony Interactive Entertainment launched PlayStation Productions in 2019 with a focus on adapting the company's video game franchises into films and television shows. An emphasis was placed on coordination between the film and television departments at Sony Pictures with the video game development studios at SIE Worldwide Studios.[2]

In December 2020, Tony Vinciquerra, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures, revealed that Sony was working on three movies and seven TV shows based on PlayStation video game content.[3]

Uncharted, based on the action-adventure video game series by Naughty Dog, was the first film produced by PlayStation Productions. It was theatrically released on February 18, 2022. Gran Turismo, based on the racing simulation video game series by Polyphony Digital, received a limited theatrical release on August 11, 2023, before expanding on August 25, 2023.[4][5] Feature film adaptations of the Sucker Punch Productions video game Ghost of Tsushima, Bend Studio's Days Gone, Japan Studio's Gravity Rush and Supermassive Games' Until Dawn are currently in the works.[6][7][8][9]

In February 2022, a Jak and Daxter film adaptation was revealed to be in development with Uncharted director Ruben Fleischer collaborating on the film with Naughty Dog.[10][11]

The first television series from PlayStation Productions was an adaptation of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, which aired on HBO from January 15, 2023, to March 12, 2023. Later in January 2023, HBO announced that the series had been renewed for a second season.[12] Twisted Metal, a television adaptation of the vehicular combat franchise, was released on Peacock on July 27, 2023.[13][14][15] Live-action television series based on Santa Monica Studio's God of War franchise for Amazon Prime Video and Guerrilla Games' Horizon series for Netflix, are in the works.[16][17][18]
