Sony began exhibiting at CES in 1967 and had appeared continuously through 2025. The company says it keeps evaluating events and communications, and will emphasize entertainment and creator-support technology.","whyItMatters":"Sony is redirecting its trade-show presence toward games, anime, film, music and the creator-focused technology those businesses run on, after decades of carrying the consumer electronics floor in Las Vegas.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSony\u0026#39;s announcement covers the group as a whole, not one division. Affiliated companies will show nothing at CES 2027, and no new products will be displayed. That ends a run that started with the show\u0026#39;s first edition in 1967 and continued through CES 2025, where Sony presented under the theme Creative Entertainment Vision.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stage had been useful. At CES 2020, PlayStation division CEO Jim Ryan unveiled the official PS5 logo and said cumulative PS4 sales had passed 106 million units and PS VR sales 5 million units.

The CES pullback tracks that shift.","threadsPost":"Sony cites entertainment and creator-support technology as its emphasis going forward, which tracks with a lineup that no longer needs a Las Vegas show floor to launch a product. The 1967-to-2025 run ends because the venue lost relevance to the pitch, not because Sony stopped making things.","newsletterBlurb":"Sony Group will not exhibit at CES in January 2027, and its affiliated companies will not take part either.
