Currently working on: TBA
Acquired in: 2000
Sony Bend spent much of the PS3 era working on handheld spinoffs for some of PlayStation's biggest franchises, including Uncharted and Resistance. With 2019's Days Gone, however, the studio elevated itself into AAA territory.
Following a surprise announcement, Days Gone Remastered for PS5 and PS5 Pro also released in 2025, with Bend partnering with Climax Studios to bring the zombie-infested adventure to Sony's latest consoles with improved graphical fidelity and additional bells and whistles. The studio has been rolling out updates following the game's launch, and with its focus on Days Gone for the time being, we don't yet know if there are any new projects in the works.
Bluepoint Games
Notable Releases: Shadow of the Colossus Remake (PS4, 2018), Demon's Souls Remake (PS5, 2020)
Currently Working on: Unannounced new IP
Acquired in: 2021
Since its founding in 2006, Bluepoint Games has carved out a reputation as the modern masters of the remake and remaster. Whether it's the fantastic collections of God of War, Team ICO, and Uncharted games, or the stunning remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls, Bluepoint is synonymous with breathing new life into old classics. That's set to change following the studio's acquisition in 2021, with reports indicating that it is working on an unannounced new IP.
While we're still awaiting news about the mystery project, Bluepoint Games' head of technology reiterated that the team is still working on an "original title" back in 2024.
Bungie
Notable Releases: Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox, 2001), Destiny 2 (PS4, 2017)
Currently Working on: Marathon
Acquired in: 2022
Bungie may have once been the crown jewel of the Xbox empire – responsible for creating the Halo franchise and helping to revolutionize online multiplayer for console – is now a part of the PlayStation Studios platform. While Destiny 2 continues to be available on all platforms, Bungie is gearing up to release its new PvP FPS, Marathon, which is set to PC and consoles on September 23, 2025.
Firesprite
Notable Releases: The Persistence VR (PS4, 2018), Horizon Call of the Mountain (PSVR 2, 2023)
Currently Working on: TBC
Acquired in: 2021
Founded in 2012 by former developers from WipeOut developer Psygnosis, Firesprite has been working with Sony to deliver innovative and experimental releases ever since. It has collaborated with Japan Studio on The Playroom and spent much of the last few years building PSVR exclusives such as The Playroom VR, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain. Firesprite acquired Fabrik Games in 2021 to help facilitate its next project for PlayStation platforms.
We're still waiting on the studio to officially reveal its next game, but job listings suggest a "dark, story-driven next generation Narrative Adventure" is in the works.
Guerrilla Games
Notable releases: Killzone (PS2, 2004), Horizon Forbidden West (PS5, 2022, PC 2024)
Currently working on: TBC
Acquired in: 2005
Guerrilla is known for two franchises, both of which couldn't be more different from one another. Well, it also made Shellshock: Nam '67 in 2004, of course, but no one remembers that one. Founded in 2000, Guerrilla is hard at work developing video games which showcase the PlayStation platform – Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and Horizon Lego Adventure being its most recent releases.
We're still awaiting official confirmation on the studio's next project, but word is the studio is reportedly working on an multiplayer co-op game, Horizon Online.
Haven Studios
Notable Releases: N/A
Currently Working on: Fairgames
Acquired in: 2022
Founded in 2021 by Jade Raymond – the executive producer behind Assassin's Creed 2, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and Watch Dogs – Haven Studios was acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2022 to lead the company's charge into live service territories.
In 2023, the studio revealed its Pay Day-like shooter Fairgames, with an update on the project coming in 2024. The latest news, however, has confirmed that Raymond has parted ways from the studio allegedly following external tests of the game. We're still awaiting word on what this will mean for the project going forward.
Housemarque
Notable releases: Resogun (2013), Returnal (2021, PS5, 2023, PC)
Currently working on: Saros (2026)
Acquired in: 2021
Housemarque has made a lot of great games over the years, but you may know the studio best for delivering Resogun – arguably the best game on the PS4 at launch. Housemarque is the oldest active developer in Finland and brings decades of experience to the PlayStation Studios group, as well as a talent for building games that look and feel incredible.
The studio is now hard at work on Saros, a new action game that's set to explore a "haunting story of a lost off-world colony".
Insomniac Games
Notable releases: Spider-Man: Miles Morales (Multi, 2020), Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5, 2021)
Currently working on: Marvel's Wolverine (PS5, TBC)
Acquired in: 2019
Insomniac has a rich and storied history with PlayStation, yet was only acquired by Sony as a first-party studio in 2019, following huge success with its Spider-Man PS4 game. The developer is now the poster child for PS5, following the success of Miles Morales and Ratchet and Clack: Rift Apart. Insomniac is hard at work on its next big platform exclusives, Marvel's Wolverine, which remains TBC.
Media Molecule
Notable releases: LittleBigPlanet (PS3, 2008), Dreams (PS4, 2020)
Currently working on: TBA
Acquired in: 2010
Media Molecule is one of the few British studios within the PlayStation family, but what a studio it is. Following three LittleBigPlanet games (and the equally brilliant Tearaway), it is unknown what the studio is working on now. Media Molecule announced that it was ending support for Dreams back in 2023, as it begins to focus on an "exciting new project" for PS5. What that is exactly is still yet to be confirmed.
Naughty Dog
Notable releases: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3, 2007), The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4, 2020)
Currently working on: Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
Acquired in: 2001
One of the most respected studios in the PlayStation family, Naughty Dog has given Sony two titanic franchises for its platform over the last two generations, with both Uncharted and The Last of Us respectively. Following the release of The Last of Us Part 2, we also saw the release of a Last of Us remake, as well as The Last of Us 2 remastered.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is the studio's next game, with the upcoming action-adventure set to put us in the role of a bounty hunter who finds herself stranded on a dangerous planet.
Nixxes Software
Notable releases: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (2016), Marvel's Avengers (2020), Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut (PC)
Currently working on: TBC
Acquired in: 2021
There's a good chance that you haven't heard of Nixxes Software. The studio specializes in porting video games across different platforms, most famously working with Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix to help ensure everything from Avengers to Tomb Raider work smoothly on all consoles. Nixxes was likely acquired as Sony continues to invest in bringing its games to Steam and PC, which has already been seen in the likes of Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, and The Last of Us 2 Remastered launching on PC, both of which Nixxes worked on.
Polyphony Digital
Notable releases: Gran Turismo (PS1, 1997), Gran Turismo 7 (PS5, 2022)
Currently working on: TBC
Founded in: 1994
Polyphony Digital is one of the leading experts on simulation racing games, following its work with the Gran Turismo franchise over the past two decades. The studio released Gran Turismo 7 to critical acclaim in 2022 and followed it up with support for the new PSVR 2 platform. It's unknown whether Polyphony is turning its attention to something new now, or whether support for GT7 will continue long into the future.
San Diego Studio
Notable releases: The Mark of Kri (PS2, 2002), MLB , MLC The Show 2025 (2025)
Currently working on: TBA
Founded in: 2001
While Sony has big ambitions in the live service space for PS5, it's been largely down to SIE San Diego to carry the torch. This studio has been hard at work on the MLB: The Show franchise for over 15 years now, with MLB: The Show 2025 being the latest release in the series. Given its expertise in baseball, expect to see San Diego Studio continuing to make games in this field in the years to come.
Sony ExDev
Notable releases: N/A
Currently working on: N/A
Outside of PlayStation Studios, Sony has a number of what it calls ExDev partners; which are best described as independent, third-party teams working with PlayStation to bring exclusive titles to its platform, and thus not to be confused with any of its first-party developers.
These partnerships are handled by an internal group at Sony called Sony ExDev, and can sometimes last for years, and quite often lead to PlayStation acquiring the studio outright. Presently, PlayStation ExDev partners include Sumo Digital (Sackboy: A Big Adventure), Lucid Games (Destruction AllStars), and Wild Sheep (Wild).
Sony Santa Monica
Notable releases: God of War (PS2, 2005), God of War Reboot (PS4, 2018) God of War: Ragnarok (PS5, 2022)
Currently working on: TBC
Founded in: 1999
Sony Santa Monica is better known as the God of War studio, having produced five games in the critically acclaimed action franchise over its 21 year history. Following the hugely well received soft reboot of the series with 2018's God of War, the team saw continued success with God of War: Ragnarok for PS5 in 2022. It's thought that the studio is working on a new IP for its next project, but we're yet to learn anything more.
Sucker Punch Productions
Notable releases: Infamous (PS3, 2009), Ghost of Tsushima (PS4, 2020)
Currently working on: Ghost of Yotei
Acquired in: 2011
Founded in 1997, Sucker Punch's first release was 2002's Sly Racoon, and the studio quickly made a name for itself before turning to the world of superheroes with the Infamous series during the PS3 era. Following the launch of Ghost of Tsushima and its expansion, Iki Island, work on a sequel has been underway, with the studio set to bring us Ghost of Yotei in 2025.
Team Asobi
Notable releases: The Playroom (PS3, 2013), Astro's Playroom (PS5, 2020), Astro Bot (2024)
Currently working on: TBC
Founded in: 2021
You may know Team Asobi by another name: Japan Studio. While SIE closed the legendary developer behind such oddities as Ape Escape, LocoRoco, and Patapon, the decision was made to shutter Japan Studio in 2021, with Team Asobi created out of the ashes. This team is credited with creating platform showcases, such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission for PSVR and Astro's Playroom for PS5.
The latest release, Astro Bot, showed the team's creativity is still in top form, and we're curious to see what they might do next.
