Sony is still eager to unify its various divisions, with PlayStation Productions an example of this. The new media-focused unit is part of Sony Interactive Entertainment, but it will leverage experience from Sony Pictures to bring PlayStation properties to both the small and big screen. According to speculation today, Twisted Metal will be the first brand to be converted to television.
But buried in an investor relations presentation, the platform holder also hinted that it will call upon Sony Music artists to create original songs for first-party games. Now obviously it’s hard to imagine Pharrell Williams writing the theme tune for The Last of Us: Part II, but it sounds like this is something the manufacturer is actively looking to explore if it can find the right kind of fits.
The organisation also talked about bringing more Sony artists to PlayStation VR, which is something it’s already achieved with bands like The Chainsmokers. It makes sense to cultivate this kind of synergy between different business units, but the firm has to ensure that any potential collaborations make sense.

@get2sammyb Would having be like having some one like Taylor Swift doing the Boss music for Bloodborne 2
@Areus Haha, I don't think she's Sony Music, though.
I loved the music in RDR2, it would be great to see more games having curated soundtracks like that one. D’Angelo was a massive highlight.
Another good example of a Sony Music artist on PSVR is the Utada Hiraku performance they released for free awhile ago. Looking forward to seeing how this develops!
When you listen to the charts you often hear them say this song has been created for a upcoming movie. Where as when I recognise music from a game on the radio the game is never mentioned.
