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.

The 60-year-old engineer is currently the vice president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, but will step down on October 1, according to Bloomberg.

Ito first joined Sony in 1986, moving to its console division in 2000. During his time at the company, he led the engineering of the PS3, PS4, and PS5, as well as the PS4 Pro.

Although not as well-known as Sony hardware designer Mark Cerny, Ito has been instrumental in the success of PlayStation – a lead engineer when it comes to hardware and system software for the PS3, PS4, and PSP. Now, he will leave Sony behind, stepping out as representative director as well as SIE vice president.

ITO began engineering consoles in the early ’00s – working extensively on PlayStation 1 and 2 peripherals including LCD monitors for the PSone. 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.
