Jim Ryan
Jim Ryan, the head of PlayStation and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, is stepping down. In a press release on Wednesday, Sony announced that Ryan will retire in March 2024, while Sony Group Corporation president and chief operating officer Hiroki Totoki will take on the interim CEO role starting April 1st, 2024.
“After 30 years, I have made the decision to retire from SIE in March 2024. I’ve relished the opportunity to have a job I love in a very special company, working with great people and incredible partners,” Ryan says in a statement. “But I’ve found it increasingly difficult to reconcile living in Europe and working in North America. I will leave having been privileged to work on products that have touched millions of lives across the world; PlayStation will always be part of my life, and I feel more optimistic than ever about the future of SIE.”
Ryan has worked at Sony for 28 years, starting his career at the company’s European branch in 1994, where he’s held several leadership positions, including the head of global sales and marketing. In 2019, Ryan replaced John Kodera as the president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Delete your PSN?
Google Trends data has a registered a 277 per cent increase in “delete PlayStation account” searches following an alleged data breach earlier this week. A ransomware group claimed to have “successfully compromised all of Sony’s systems”, with the stolen data purportedly up for sale. The Japanese giant has responded by insisting it’s investigating the situation.

Uh oh
But despite there being no confirmation of a leak, it seems concerned customers are already taking steps to protect their personal security, with the aforementioned search data suggesting many gamers are eager to close their accounts in the aftermath. While a 277 per cent increase in search traffic does seem alarming, it’s worth noting we don’t know how many queries this data actually entails.
Sony obviously was put through the wringer over a decade ago, when a PSN data breach saw its entire online network brought offline. This prompted the organisation to make a number of goodwill gestures, including offering free security support and several games as compensation. Unsurprisingly, it also beefed up its security behind-the-scenes.
