TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony announced two company executives would take new leadership roles at its games unit with responsibility for the technology and content sides of the business.

Hideaki Nishino will become CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment's Platform Business Group with Hermen Hulst appointed CEO of SIE's Studio Business Group from June 1.

Sony, which reports its full year earnings later on Tuesday, is under pressure to show improvement in margins at the games business behind the PlayStation 5 console.

The conglomerate cut its PS5 sales forecast in February after weaker-than-expected year-end sales, adding that it does not plan to release major titles in the next fiscal year.
