Sony Interactive Entertainment is reportedly planning to rebrand its iconic 'PlayStation Network' and 'PSN' services, with the change slated for September 2026.

Gaming outlet Insider Gaming reported on the 18th that it had obtained an email sent by Sony to developers. The email states that the name change is intended to better reflect the evolving scope of its digital services.

The rebranding is reportedly a cosmetic change rather than a functional overhaul. Core network features, such as friends lists, multiplayer matchmaking, and the trophy system, are expected to remain unchanged.

The specific new name for the brand has not yet been disclosed. According to the email, the changes will be implemented alongside a technical requirements checklist update this autumn, with further official announcements to follow.
