Sony will not take part in CES 2027, according to GamesIndustry.biz, marking the first time the company has missed the expo since it launched in 1967. The report was published on Tuesday, 29 September 2026.
GamesIndustry.biz describes the move as Sony's first absence from the show in six decades of participation. Coverage of the decision was also carried by Bloomberg, TheDesk.net, marketscreener.com and psxextreme.com.
Bloomberg links the withdrawal to Sony's dropped electric vehicle venture with Honda, reporting the headline "Sony to Skip CES Show After Honda EV Venture Dropped." Marketscreener.com frames the decision as a shift in focus toward entertainment, under the headline "Sony to Skip CES 2027 After Six Decades, Shifting Focus to Entertainment." PSX Extreme reported the news as Sony skipping CES after 60 years of participation, while TheDesk.net said the company has ended its participation in the Consumer Electronics Show.
The available reporting does not include a statement from Sony or any detail on which products or announcements the company might have planned for the 2027 event.
Sony has historically used CES to present hardware and technology spanning its consumer electronics business, though the material reviewed here does not specify what the company showed at past editions.
What to watch next: whether Sony or CES organizer the Consumer Technology Association comments on the decision, and whether Sony outlines where it will make major product announcements instead.
