The announcement was made during a larger PS Plus-related speech. During the podcast, Ryan said, “We’re growing through acquisitions. We’ve acquired five development studios over the course of 2021. We’re in discussions with Bungie. a lot of planned “.
We recall that Sony has already announced the acquisition not only of Bungie, but also of Haven Studios, a development team founded by Jade Raymond and currently working on an exclusive PS5, of which unfortunately we know nothing.
Sony is focusing on acquiring teams that can give support and expand game production, with an eye on live services. Ryan has stated in the past that PlayStation will not stop producing the AAA narrative and single player games that distinguish it, but will also include new products in its portfolio.
In 2021, Sony bought Valkyrie Entertainment, Housemarque, Bluepoint, Firesprite and Nixxes. In addition, it has also invested $ 200 million in Epic Games, creator of Fortnite and the Unreal Engine, a development engine widely used in the gaming market, including the next Firesprite game, which will be a horror adventure.
