This programme supports the development of peripherals and accessories that enhance the experience of players with PlayStation hardware, games, services, and apps. It provides licensees with access to technical documentation and support to streamline the creation of high-quality products. The programme ensures that licenced peripherals and accessories are designed to meet Sony Interactive Entertainment's (SIE) standards for compatibility and quality.
Licenced gaming hardware and peripherals are a crucial part of the gaming world, boosting the player's experience with amazing precision, comfort, and style. Our partners offer various categories of peripherals to enhance the gaming experience with our products. These peripherals cover multiple categories to meet diverse gaming needs and preferences.
Below is a selection of our current licenced product categories - but we're always open to expanding the range with new product initiatives.
Collaboration drives innovation, and we're thrilled to partner with some of the top gaming hardware and peripherals brands in the industry. From leading tech manufacturers to specialised creators, our partners share our passion for quality, performance, and innovation. Together, we're shaping the future of gaming and delivering exceptional experiences to our community.
By teaming up with beloved franchises, top brands, and gaming innovators, we create products that deliver outstanding performance and deeply connect with players. These peripherals combine premium craftsmanship with unique designs, giving gamers the chance to enhance their experience while celebrating the worlds and brands they love.
We’re thrilled to explore new opportunities and partnerships that push the boundaries of innovation. If you share our vision for excellence and want to shape the future of gaming, we’d love to hear from you.
If you're confident that your product ideas align with what we're looking for, we'd love to hear from you. Here’s an example of the information we’ll require to get started (this isn’t an exhaustive list and may vary from product to product).
We start the product approval workflow by reviewing initial concepts. We may request detailed information at this stage for specific product categories (if this information isn’t provided, the concept may not be progressed).
Once the concept is approved it is considered in development . A final “golden” sample will eventually need to be submitted for validation.
Depending on the category, additional test reports may be required for approval. Validation includes, but is not limited to, the following:
If the above process has been completed and SIE has approved the product, we can begin to map out mass production and distribution plans with you. During this time, we’ll also review launch plans and marketing opportunities.
Occasionally we may feel there’s a gap in our licencing portfolio and proactively send out a request for proposal (RFP). RFPs are category specific and available by invitation only . For each RFP, a specific set of minimum standards will be defined, documented, and shared. Each RFP opportunity will have a specified timeframe for receiving proposals.
As a partner, you’ll be given access to a series of tools and reporting systems to develop your product’s route to market and post-launch support.
We’ll give you access to our branding and packaging guidelines as well as a digital repository of device images for the development of your marketing assets.
As a partner, you’ll be expected to provide quarterly reports, including royalties due and forecasting. Once you’re onboarded, we’ll share our templates and process documents with you.
There may be opportunities to include OLP peripherals and accessories on various PlayStation channels if appropriate, and subject to availability and marketing plans.
These could include online store listings, consumer engagement channels like email or social media, retail and sales support or events.
