History

[edit]

On September 14, 2005,Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE, now known asSony Interactive Entertainment), the video game arm ofSony, announced the formation of SCE Worldwide Studios earlier that month, combining all studios SCE owned at the time.Phil Harrison was appointed as the division'spresident;[2] he resigned in February 2008.[3]Kazuo Hirai became acting president,[4] succeeded byShuhei Yoshida in May 2008.[5] When Yoshida moved to lead theindie game development of SIE, Hermen Hulst, previously of SIE'sGuerrilla Games studio, became the president of SIE Worldwide Studios in November 2019.[6] The studios productions are generally supported by the Visual Arts Services Group, founded in 2007 in San Diego.[7]

SIE announced the rebranding of the division to PlayStation Studios in May 2020 as part of the introduction of thePlayStation 5, which was released later that year. PlayStation Studios serves as the publishing brand for Sony's first-party development studios, as well as for games developed by studios brought in by Sony in work-for-hire situations.[8]

In 2022, Sony stated half of itsfirst-party PlayStation Studios games will be on personal computers (PC) and mobile by 2025.[9] In August 2022, SIE announced the formation of the PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, alongside the acquisition of the company's first mobile development team, Savage Game Studios,[10] later renamed Neon Koi.[11] In February 2024, Sony announced it would eliminate 900 jobs, or 8% of SIE and PlayStation Studios employees. These cuts included the closure ofLondon Studio.[12][13]

In July 2024, Sony andBungie announced that as part of restructuring at Bungie, one of the studio's incubation projects would be spun out, with the team behind the game forming a new studio within PlayStation Studios, later on in May 2025 it being revealed as teamLFG.[14][15] In October 2024, Sony announced the closure of Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios.[16][17] In March 2025, Sony formed Dark Outlaw Games, a new studio under PlayStation Studios, led byJason Blundell.[18]
