De CEO van PlayStation genaamd Jim Ryan heeft in de nieuwste PlayStation podcast aangegeven dat er plannen zijn voor meer overnames van game studio’s.
In een jaar tijd heeft Sony de volgende game studio’s overgenomen:
- Destiny-ontwikkelaar Bungie
- Demon’s Souls-ontwikkelaar Bluepoint Games
- Returnal-ontwikkelaar Housemarque
- PC port specialist Nixxes Software
- Londen studio Firesprite
Volgens Jim Ryan, zullen meer studio’s zich aansluitingen bij PlayStation Worldwide Studio’s in de nabije toekomst:
“We’re in a really good place with PlayStation Studios and have been for the past few years. The critical success and the commercial success of the games that they’ve been making… that has given us permission to invest heavily in content creation.”
He added: “We’re growing our studios organically and we’re growing through acquisition. We acquired five studios during the course of 2021, we’re in discussions with Bungie and we have more planned. This is getting us into a virtuous cycle where success begets success.”
