Sony Interactive Entertainment launched PlayStation Productions in 2019 with a focus on adapting the company's video game franchises into films and television shows. An emphasis was placed on coordination between the film and television departments at Sony Pictures with the video game development studios at SIE Worldwide Studios.[2]

In December 2020, Tony Vinciquerra, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures, revealed that Sony was working on three movies and seven TV shows based on PlayStation video game content.[3]

Uncharted, based on the action-adventure video game series by Naughty Dog, was the first film produced by PlayStation Productions. It was theatrically released on February 18, 2022. A sequel is in development.[4] Gran Turismo, based on the racing simulation video game series by Polyphony Digital, received a limited theatrical release on August 11, 2023, before expanding on August 25, 2023.[5][6] Until Dawn, a feature film adaptation of the horror game by Supermassive Games is scheduled to release on April 25, 2025.[7] Feature film adaptations of the Sucker Punch Productions video game Ghost of Tsushima, Bend Studio's Days Gone, Japan Studio's Gravity Rush and Arrowhead Game Studios' Helldivers are currently in the works.[8][9][10] A feature film adaptation of Guerrilla Games' Horizon series is also in the works, after previously being developed as a TV adaptation for Netflix before it was cancelled.[11]

In February 2022, a Jak and Daxter film adaptation was revealed to be in development with Uncharted director Ruben Fleischer collaborating on the film with Naughty Dog.[12][13]

A reboot of the Resident Evil film franchise is also in the works, marking the first PlayStation Productions film to not be adapted from a Sony-owned property, instead being based on the popular horror series by Capcom.[14]

The first television series from PlayStation Productions was an adaptation of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, which premiered on HBO on January 15, 2023; a second season premiered on April 13, 2025.[15] The series was renewed for a third season on April 9, 2025, ahead of its second season premiere.[16] Twisted Metal, a television adaptation of the vehicular combat franchise, was released on Peacock on July 27, 2023. A second season is scheduled for release in 2025.[17][18][19] A live-action television series based on Santa Monica Studio's God of War franchise for Amazon Prime Video is in the works.[20][21][22]
