It's now been revealed just how 🌱successful that program actually was. In a video interview with , PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan claims that a whopping 60 million ga༒mes have been downloaded thanks to the Play At Home program, introducing potentially millions of people to brand new experiences.
According to Ryan, he is proud that t♔he company was able to offer the games to people during such a difficult period and that PlayStation is "happy" with the results:
"As everybody was struggling with the first lockdown we thought it would be a nice thing to do, and were very happy with the reaction," explains Ryan. "Then we got through Christmas and started lockdown again and it was a bit miserable so we thought it🔯 would be a nice thing to reprise. So we did it again over a period of months and over 60 million games have been downloaded as part of that."
