When thinking about PlayStation, The Last of Us might come to mind. Or maybe Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon: Zero Dawn, or God of War. But looking ahead, Sony seems set on concentrating more on family-friendly games like Astro Bot, according to PlayStation CEO Hermen Hulst.

Spotted by Eurogamer, Hulst spoke with Astro Bot creative director Nicolas 'Nico' Doucet on the official PlayStation Podcast about family-friendly games after the recent launch of the cute platformer. "I think it's massively important that PlayStation Studios develops games in various genres, and the family market, I think, is really important for us to focus on," Hulst said.

Astro Bot has become the best-reviewed game of the year so far, showcasing the possibilities for the franchise and brand for PlayStation. It's something Hulst, who became PlayStation joint-CEO earlier this year, seems very aware of.
