Warner Bros. Discovery is closing three video-game studios—Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and Warner Bros. Games San Diego—to enhance profitability amid poor performance. The company is halting work on a Wonder Woman game and shifting focus towards major franchises like Harry Potter and Mortal Kombat. According to JB Perrette, head of games, many recent releases have not met quality expectations, prompting significant changes in approach. Underperformance of titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has influenced these closures, although the move is not a reflection on the teams involved.

JB Perrette stated that the quality of new releases had missed the mark, indicating a need for substantial changes to improve the gaming portfolio.
The previous underperformance of several titles, including Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and MultiVersus, led to these difficult business decisions.
