Today, we’re recognized as a global leader in interactive and digital entertainment. The PlayStation brand falls under Sony Interactive Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation.

And you are talented and motivated, with tons of initiative. You get things done. Sound interesting? Give us a shout.
