Sony Music has been named to Fast Company’s 2026 list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies in recognition of the creativity and collaboration happening across our teams globally.

The acknowledgement spotlights Sony Music’s forward-looking work in developing artist-led experiences within popular gaming platforms such as Fortnite. This is an area that’s become an important cultural space for growing numbers of fans, especially younger consumers, and we are strategically investing in our capabilities to help artists authentically reach audiences in virtual spaces.

Over the past year, this approach has led to a growing slate of immersive entertainment projects from our talent, including, among others:

• Sleepy Hallow, “The Hallow Heist”
  Sleepy Hallow’s limited-time Fortnite concert, which he created in partnership with our in-house development team Sony Immersive Music Studios and RCA Records, enabled fans to journey deep inside his brain and debuted the single “Girls Like Girls.” A companion music video, inspired by the art style of “The Hallow Heist” experience, showed how game-native ideas can expand creativity and create real-world impact.

• PARTYNEXTDOOR’s Fortnite experience
  PND’s playable concert event took fans on a jet-setting adventure from the top of Toronto’s CN Tower to the sands of South Beach and ranked as #1 Popular and #1 Trending map on Fortnite on the day of launch. Developed in partnership with Sony Immersive Music Studios and OVO Sound, nearly 500,000 players explored the experience, generating more than 17 million impressions across platforms in the first 72 hours.

We are proud to be part of Fast Company’s list, which is now in its 18th year and honors organizations whose work shapes culture and industry worldwide. Our inclusion reflects the success we share across Sony Music in supporting artists, meeting fans where they are, and expanding what’s possible as a modern music company.
