Jim Ryan

The new year is off to a fantastic start for video game players. Earlier this week at the Consumer Electronics Show, Sony Interactive president and CEO Jim Ryan pulled the wraps off the logo for the PlayStation 5. Synonymous with the brand’s visual image thus far, it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

As you know by now, Gran Turismo Sport was announced at last night’s Paris Games Week PlayStation Press Conference and is currently earmarked for a 2016 release, confirmed on the official PlayStation Blog, with a public beta expected to make way next Spring.

As he talked about the GT franchise during Sony’s Gamescom 2013 media event, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO Jim Ryan (check out our recent interview with him) formally announced the Gran Turismo movie, fully confirming the news leaked last month by a Hollywood news site.

GTPlanet recently had the opportunity to sit down with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s President and CEO, Jim Ryan, for a round-table discussion on the business end of the Gran Turismo franchise.

SCEE CEO Jim Ryan has made new comments which may support Vice President Michael Denny’s statement that Gran Turismo 6 is coming to the PlayStation 3 console.
