In a new wave of layoffs, PlayStation has had to reduce its workforce, particularly affecting the Visual Arts team and studios in Malaysia. Former employees have voiced their experiences on LinkedIn, with some having played key roles in the development of significant titles like Uncharted and The Last of Us. Additionally, these cuts, while targeting specific canceled projects, have also spread to personnel supporting PlayStation's first-party studios. This follows a troubling trend for PlayStation, which has already seen significant job losses and project cancellations in recent years.
"It was a tough start of the week for us at PlayStation Studios - Visual Arts. There was a wave of workforce reduction and unfortunately I'm no longer part of the brand."
"Those impacted were working on recently canceled projects such as the one from Days Gone developer Bend Studio, but cuts extended to art and technical support roles."
