PS5 and PS4 lead engineers are retiring from Sony


Sony hardware architect Masayasu Ito, who led the engineering work on both the PS4 and PS5, is retiring at the end of September.

Now, he will leave Sony behind, stepping out as representative director as well as SIE vice president.

He then led the development of Sony’s popular handheld, the PSP. He was also involved in the creation of Sony’s first double in VR, the original PSVR, as well as the PS5.
