"At the same time, we're operating in an increasingly challenging industry environment. 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."
"This decision was not made lightly. Bluepoint is an incredibly talented team and their technical expertise has delivered exceptional experiences for the PlayStation community. I want to thank everyone at Bluepoint for their creativity, craftmanship, and commitment to quality. Where possible, we will work to find opportunities for some impacted employees within our global network of studios. While I know this is hard news to hear, I'm confident in the direction we're headed."
Bluepoint Games will close in March. The studio is credited with delivering exceptional PlayStation experiences and strong technical craftsmanship. The closure is attributed to an increasingly challenging industry environment, including rising development costs, slowed industry growth, changing player behavior, and broader economic headwinds that make sustainable game development harder. The parent company reviewed operations to adapt and will seek internal opportunities for some impacted employees across its global studio network. Recent PlayStation highlights include Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Helldivers 2, and MLB The Show, which drove player engagement and revenue. Creativity and innovation remain priorities for PlayStation Studios.
