""At the same time, we're operating in an increasingly challenging industry environment," Hulst said. "Rising development costs, slowed industry growth, changing player behavior, and broader economic headwinds are making it harder to build games sustainably. To navigate this reality, we need to continue adapting and evolving. We've taken a close look at our business to ensure we're delivering today while still well-positioned for the future. As a result, we will be closing Bluepoint Games in March.""
""Hulst praised Bluepoint Games for delivering "exceptional experiences for the PlayStation community" and thanked the team for their "creativity, craftsmanship, and commitment to quality." He said that PlayStation will attempt to find jobs for "some" of the laid-off staff within their global network of studios. And although Hulst admitted that this is difficult news to share, he posited that he's "confident in the direction" the company's heading, stating that "creativity, innovation, and building unforgettable experiences for players" is still a vital component of the PlayStation Studios ethos.""
