Sony executives detailed new uses for generative AI during the company's earnings call on May 8. PlayStation CEO Hideaki Nishino described tools that speed up animation and personalization on the platform. The remarks came alongside forecasts of lower PS5 sales due to memory shortages.
Sony's latest PlayStation 5 exclusive Saros has sold just over 300000 copies in its first two weeks on sale. The game has generated $22 million in revenue so far. Sales are tracking slightly behind those of developer Housemarque's previous title Returnal despite a much larger console install base.

Following initial reports of a 30-day online validation for PS4 digital games, new tests confirm the requirement applies to PS5 as well.
