Sony PlayStation has reportedly laid off around 90 employees in North America in an apparent move to focus more on direct-to-consumer marketing over brick-and-mortar sales.
This suggests a move away from focusing on retail sales in favor of direct-to-consumer marketing, especially as digital sales of games continue to grow and thrive.
The service started in 2019 in the US, and late last year began to expand to Europe and the UK.
Leadership reportedly explained the cuts as a part of a “global transformation” of Sony’s sales and business operations.
