Sony to cut 900 jobs at PlayStation unit

Sony has announced a significant round of layoffs affecting around 900 staff, or about 8% of its global PlayStation workforce.

The layoffs affect a number of PlayStation studios, including Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, Firesprite, and, most significantly, PlayStation's London studio. Alongside the layoffs, a number of in-development games are cancelled, Sony said.

In a blog post, outgoing Sony Interactive Entertainment boss Jim Ryan issued an update on what he called a “difficult day at our company.”

“We have made the extremely hard decision to announce our plan to commence a reduction of our overall headcount globally by about 8% or about 900 people, subject to local law and consultation processes," Ryan said. "Employees across the globe, including our studios, are impacted."
