PlayStation is hiring a director of corporate development to help identify acquisition opportunities and bolster its collection of first-party studios.
PlayStation and Xbox have been locked in somewhat of an acquisitions race in recent years as both publishers have pushed to expand their range of first-party studios.
The move mirrors a hiring advertised by Xbox last week for a manager of gaming strategy and development as both publishers seek to purchase increasing numbers of developers.
The new director will lead Sony’s corporate development team, which is responsible for “identifying inorganic growth opportunities through acquisitions, investments, or joint ventures”.
