Whether its developing games with internal studios or funding and assisting with external releases, publishers are huge parts of the video game industry. Publishers are often the IP holders of some of the most beloved franchises out there, and how they handle those IPs plays a huge role in public perception of the publisher. A specific publishers lineup throughout the year speaks volumes, not just in content, but in how they handle their development teams and creative output. Especially this year, as teams had to move to remote work management under difficult conditions, publishers had more pressure than ever to deliver for both their employees and the players. Here are the PlayStation LifeStyle nominations for Best Publisher in 2020.

Sony Interactive Entertainment/PlayStation Studios Bungie
Activision
Annapurna Interactive
Square Enix
