Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia has announced the forthcoming PlayStation Partner Awards 2023 Japan Asia, which is scheduled to take place on 1 December. This annual event has been established with the purpose of acknowledging and honouring exceptional PlayStation adaptations of highly popular video game titles that have achieved significant sales across both the Japan and Asia regions.

The PlayStation Partner Awards, now in its 29th edition, has become a well-established tradition since its inception as the PlayStation Awards in 1994, shortly after the launch of the first renowned PlayStation console. This annual event remains dedicated to recognizing and celebrating game developers’ accomplishments and triumphs across Japan and Asia. Moreover, like the previous year, the 2023 ceremony will not be live-streamed.
