What games are they making since Knack? I never see this studio on any Sony list or whatever.

Cerny works as a consultant for Sony, and this is his company. He has worked on multiple first-party and second-party games for PlayStation throughout 25 years as a producer or advisor, among other roles. Also, he gave us the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Cerny a beast!

The list of games where Cerny is credited is nothing short of amazing.
It’s great that he likes to lay low or some people would be asking for him to be fired lol

Lol, I remember the " fire Mark Cerny" guy. Was he in the original discord or here? I forgot.
Since Knack he has been Executive Producer in The Last Guardian, Ratched 2016, Spider-Man, Death Stranding, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Rift Apart:

He also was design consultant in Rift Apart, writer in Knack 2 and (often tech) consultant in other games as Days Gone, Dreams, Shenmue 3, GoW 2018, GoWR, HZD, HFW, Sunset Overdrive, Farpoint or Spyro: Reignited Trilogy.
He also constantly visits all PS Studios teams -including 2nd party- and sometimes 3rd party teams too to help them take better advantage of the PS hardware and to collect feedback and suggestion for future hardware, even if he isn't credited for this job in games.
In the past he was programmer, as an example for Sony's game engine ICE Team in addition to be the hardware architect of PS4, PS5 and Vita. But since many years ago his role has been focused on supporting teams as tech or design consultor and as executive producer. His involvement directing Knack and Knack 2 was a rare exception.

No waaaay rofl. Mark is one of the people responsible for making PS the first-party powerhouse it is today.
Reminder that while I thoroughly enjoy Mark Cerny's work and career, and I think he did an incredible job with the PS5 and its peripheral PSVR2, being an Executive Producer means fuck all - It's pretty much a participation trophy.
So saying "he was an executive producer on game X" means fuck all.
