Warner Bros Discovery plans to break into two separate companies during 2026. WBD Global Networks will handle cable shows and sports programs. WBD Streaming and Studios will control HBO and movie production. The gaming division will also join the streaming company. Many experts think someone might buy the more valuable streaming business.
Sony may want to purchase WBD Streaming and Studios according to wrestling news site SEScoops. The Japanese company would gain access to major franchises like DC Comics and Harry Potter. Sony could strengthen its entertainment business through this deal. The purchase makes sense for Sony's long-term goals. Any official announcement would happen around 2027 after the split completes.
Warner Bros Games has struggled with recent releases despite Hogwarts Legacy's success. Several games failed at launch such as Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights. The company shut down Monolith studio and cancelled a Wonder Woman game. Warner Bros recently reorganized around four main franchises. Sony's purchase might not fix the gaming problems right away.
