What is PlayStation First?
PlayStation First is an international academic programme by Sony with the mission of establishing a network of world-class educations capable of generating fresh talent on Sony's platforms. The best game development courses coupled with hands-on training provides the perfect environment for students to become the PlayStation development stars of the future.
​
PlaygroundSquad was the very first international institution to be given this status in 2012, and we've been happy to pioneer the latest and greatest in Sony technology ever since.
Development tools

-
PlayStation®4
-

Benefits
