Sony is once again shaking up its leadership ranks. Effective April 1, Hideaki Nishino will be president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). Nishino was appointed CEO of the division's Platform Business Group last year.

There's been a shake-up in leadership at Sony Interactive Entertainment, but what could it mean for the future of PlayStation?

Hiroki Totoki is now the CEO of Sony Corporation, as Hideaki Nishino is now the sole CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

A PlayStation account will "become optional" for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. Sony hasn't lost hope that players will still go ahead and use a PlayStation account, though, as it's tying several benefits to signing in.

You’ll still have access to monthly PS4 games you’ve already redeemed, but Sony is shifting its focus more fully to PS5.

Following protests, PlayStation maker Sony is backpedaling its PSN requirement policy for several of its games on PC.
