Sony to axe 900 PlayStation roles worldwide
Sony has announced it will lay off 8% of PlayStation employees globally, amounting to approximately 900 people. In addition to cuts in the US and Japan, the gaming giant said this would mean closing PlayStation's London Studio entirely. Sony's London Studio was founded in 2002 as a result of the merging of two other London-based studios under the PlayStation brand. According to LinkedIn, the studio has between 51 and 200 employees, and it was working on "An unannounced online co-op combat game" set in London before the announcement. Sony's PlayStation 5 has sold more than 50 million units worldwide, more than double Microsoft's Xbox Series X/S sales.
