Sony Computer Entertainment have announced Phil Harrison’s resignation. Harrison’s role as President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios will resign from SCE and Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO of SCEI, will immediately take his place. Hirai will take his duties and carry on his current tasks.

“As one of the founding members of SCE, Phil played a key role in the development and growth of the PlayStation business and our industry,” said Kazuo Hirai. “It is sad to see him departing from SCE, but I wish to express my gratitude for his many invaluable contributions and also wish Phil the very best of luck in his future endeavors.”

“The past 15 years at Sony Computer Entertainment has been the defining journey of my life so far,” said Phil Harrison. “I am grateful to all the PlayStation family for their incredible support, guidance and friendship. It has been a privilege to serve as part of the team and be inspired by them on a daily basis. I am so proud of everything PlayStation has achieved and will continue to support its future in every way I can.”

Phil Harrison is responsible for keeping the Sony franchise on target and looking long-term. He helped ‘Home’ into development and pushed it further than we could imagine. We hope that he stays focused on ‘Home’ until it is released as it is in its final stages.
