\"Sony<\/p>\n

As 2022 continues to be the year of acquisitions, with news that Square Enix is selling Embracer Group three of its western development studios<\/a> and more than 50 IPs, it seems Sony is still looking to bolster its first-party family.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the company is now hiring for a Corporate Development Director, \u201cresponsible for identifying inorganic growth opportunities through acquisitions,\u201d and more, as discovered by Roberto Serrano\u2019 on Twitter<\/a> and reported by Video Games Chronicle<\/a><\/em>. It\u2019s not surprising that Sony is looking to hire somebody like this, especially when you look at the current video game landscape \u2013 it feels like every other week, a major acquisition is announced. <\/p>\n

\u201cSony Interactive Entertainment seeks a highly qualified Director, Corporate Development,\u201d Sony\u2019s job listing<\/a> reads. \u201cSIE\u2019s Corporate Development Team works closely with SIE\u2019s management team and is responsible for identifying inorganic growth opportunities through acquisitions, investments, or joint ventures. The team sources, evaluates, and completes transactions that are aligned with SIE\u2019s strategic priorities and drive significant long-term value for the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the listing, it says Sony is looking for someone to drive proactive deal sourcing, including developing relationships with external and internal partners. <\/p>\n

News that Sony is looking for what is essentially an acquisitions director is not surprising \u2013 acquisitions have largely defined gaming in 2022 thus far. It started with Take-Two Interactive, the parent company behind the Grand Theft Auto series, announcing back in January that it was acquiring mobile giant Zynga for nearly $13 billion<\/a>. Then, the following week, Microsoft announced it was acquiring Activision Blizzard<\/a>, the company behind Overwatch and Call of Duty, for a colossal $68.7 billion. Two weeks after that, Sony revealed it was buying Bungie<\/a> for $3.6 billion and later announced it had acquired Jade Raymond\u2019s new studio, Haven Studios<\/a>. <\/p>\n
