Sony has delayed hosting a showcase event for its next games console.
In a statement it did not directly mention the civil unrest in the US, but alluded to it saying "we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration", adding it wanted "more important voices to be heard".
Sony's move avoids the risks inherent in trying to promote games likely to involve violent combat at a time when stand-offs and clashes are occurring across the US.
One of its games studios, Naughty Dog, also posted that it was donating to national and local US organisations to help tackle racism and injustice.
