about Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, which will be released on PS5 in June, Sakamoto compared the experience of developing for the two latest PlayStation generations.

In some ways, it’s created an environment where the artists are now out of control.”

Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden has previously spoken about the need for console manufacturers to move past competing on performance alone, saying, “We’re at the stage of hardware development that I call: ‘Only dogs can hear the difference.'” Both Sony and
