Sony is to lay off 900 people, equating to eight percent of its workforce. This reduction will see PlayStation Studios’ London Studio close in its entirety, plus reductions made within Sony’s Firesprite studio. There will also be reductions in various functions across SIE in the UK
In a post earlier today, Sony’s Jim Ryan said the company’s PlayStation community meant “everything to us”, and therefore it felt compelled to share an update on the current situation.
“We have made the extremely hard decision to announce our plan to commence a reduction of our overall headcount globally by about eight percent or about 900 people, subject to local law and consultation processes. Employees across the globe, including our studios, are impacted,” Ryan wrote.
