’s most recent quarter, but the company’s Game & Network Services division posted a drop in sales and operating income.This is up 0.1 million compared to the same quarter a year earlier, and up 0.4 million compared to the previous quarter ended on March 31, 2022.But while hardware sales remained relatively consistent, the company saw a notable decrease in software sales and PlayStation Plus monthly active users.

PlayStation Network monthly active users totalled 102 million, down from 105 million a year earlier and 106 million in the previous quarter. This appears to be Sony’s lowest MAU for PlayStation Plus since it began sharing figures in early 2020. Operating income was down 30.5% year-over-year to ¥52.8 billion . The decline was blamed on falling software sales as well as an increase in costs related to first-part game development.
