What are all PlayStation Studios developers and what are they working on? In this PlayStation Studios guide, we’re going to list all of the Japanese giant’s subsidiary game makers, along with their current projects. We’ll be updating this article regularly, as new titles are announced.
Note: We’ve focused on PS Studios’ primary development teams, and haven’t included Sony’s support studios, such as XDEV, Valkyrie Entertainment, and Nixxes.
Japan
Here are all of Sony’s teams working out of the company’s home country.
Polyphony Digital
Originally an internal development unit named Polys Entertainment, Polyphony Digital is best known for creating Sony’s flagship racing simulation franchise, Gran Turismo.
Established: 1998
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Current Projects: Polyphony has been supporting Gran Turismo 7 consistently since launch, with lots of free updates adding new events and vehicles. While this looks set to continue, we expect work has begun on the studio’s next game, which will presumably be another Gran Turismo.
Team Asobi
Team Asobi rose from the ashes of Japan Studio, initially an internal group building tech demos and on-boarding software such as The Playroom. It brought us Astro Bot Rescue Mission for PSVR, PS5 pack-in game Astro’s Playroom, and is now best known for its full-fledged 3D platformer, Astro Bot.
Established: 2021
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Current Projects: Team Asobi’s post-launch updates and support for Astro Bot appears to have concluded, so we can presume the whole studio is now working on its next game. It isn’t known what that game is, though given Astro’s success, we reckon a sequel is likely.
Europe
Below you’ll find details on all of SIE’s European studios.
Firesprite
Firesprite has an interesting history; it was initially formed by developers from Studio Liverpool, an old Sony studio shuttered in 2012. Most famous for The Persistence and supporting Sony on The Playroom and The Playroom VR, this is now SIE’s largest UK-based studio.
Established: 2013
Location: Liverpool, England
Current Projects: Whatever Firesprite is working on is currently shrouded in mystery, but it’s heavily rumoured that one title it’s working on is a horror game, codenamed Project Heartbreak. It’s theorised this game could be Until Dawn 2.
Guerrilla Games
Creators of the Killzone franchise, and acquired by Sony following the release of Shellshock: ‘Nam 67 in 2005. One of SIE’s most technically capable studios, it’s now best known for Horizon Zero Dawn, which runs on the studio’s own Decima Engine.
Established: 2000
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Current Projects: A Horizon online co-op game is on the way, as is an MMO for PC and mobile, both of which will have Guerrilla’s input to varying degrees. It can also be safely assumed that Horizon 3 is in the pipeline.
Housemarque
Finnish developer Housemarque has worked closely with Sony for over a decade. The studio specialises in arcade-like action, bringing us titles such as Super Stardust HD, Resogun, and of course its latest work, Returnal. The success of the latter pushed Sony to acquire the team in 2021.
Established: 1995
Location: Helsinki, Finland
Current Projects: Housemarque is currently working on Saros, a rogue-lite third-person action game that builds on the Returnal formula. It’s due to release in April 2026.
Media Molecule
The makers of the LittleBigPlanet franchise, and one of Sony’s most imaginative studios. Media Molecule was acquired by Sony in 2010 following the success of Sackboy’s inaugural adventure.
Established: 2006
Location: Guildford, England
Current Projects: With post-launch support of Dreams now concluded, Media Molecule has officially begun work on its next project, which will be a new IP. It’s expected this will reduce the focus on creation and will be a more traditional game.
North America
Most of Sony’s best-known studios hail from the United States. Here they all are — plus a bonus Canada team!
Bend Studio
Infamously created Bubsy 3D for the PS1 before moving on to the Syphon Filter series under the Eidetic name. Acquired by Sony in 2000. Historically focused on portable games, the team broke back into AAA territory with Days Gone on PS4.
Established: 1993
Location: Bend, Oregon, USA
Current Projects: Unknown, though reportedly it won’t be a Days Gone sequel.
Bluepoint Games
Bluepoint Games has had a close relationship with Sony for many years, producing original games as well as remakes and remasters of beloved PlayStation classics. Famous for its work on Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Shadow of the Colossus, and Demon’s Souls, Sony scooped up this talented team in late 2021.
Established: 2006
Location: Austin, Texas, USA
Current Projects: Bluepoint was apparently working on an online, live service game that has now been cancelled, so it’s unclear what the team will be producing next.
Haven Studios
A brand new studio led by Jade Raymond, famed for her work on the Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs series. The developer has yet to release a game, but has been scooped up by Sony as the team works on its debut project.
Established: 2021
Location: Montréal, Canada
Current Projects: Haven is developing Fairgames, an online multiplayer shooter described as a “competitive heist experience”.
Insomniac Games
Famed for PlayStation exclusive series such as Ratchet & Clank and Resistance, the developer has felt like part of the first party family all along. With Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales being such huge hits, it’s no wonder Sony scooped the studio up in 2019.
Established: 1994
Location: Burbank, California, USA
Current Projects: Insomniac is currently making Marvel’s Wolverine exclusively for PS5. It’s due for release in Fall 2026. It’s extremely likely that Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is in the works, too.
Naughty Dog
Perhaps the most famous of Sony’s studios, Naughty Dog has a long history creating series such as Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted, and The Last of Us. Acquired in 2001.
Established: 1984
Location: Santa Monica, California, USA
Current Projects: Naughty Dog is currently working on sci-fi action adventure game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. It’s expected this will launch in 2027.
San Diego Studio
Most famous for the critically acclaimed MLB The Show series, San Diego Studio has previously operated as a support studio for external developers, and has also worked on titles like The Mark of Kri and Pain.
Established: 2001
Location: San Diego, California, USA
Current Projects: San Diego Studio is currently working on MLB The Show 26, the next instalment in its annual series. It’s also working on MLB The Show Mobile.
Santa Monica Studio
Creators of the God of War franchise. Previously incubated developers like thatgamecompany, while also serving as a support studio for external developers working on exclusive games.
Established: 1999
Location: Los Angeles, California, USA
Current Projects: Following God of War Ragnarok, Santa Monica Studio will now likely be concentrating on director Cory Barlog’s next project. Job listings suggest it’ll be another action game. More recent rumours suggest a Greek God of War spin-off is also in the works.
Sucker Punch Productions
One-time Nintendo 64 developer, Sucker Punch is the creator of PlayStation fan favourites like Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS. Acquired by Sony in 2011, the studio is now best known for Ghost of Tsushima.
Established: 1997
Location: Bellevue, Washington, USA
Current Projects: Sucker Punch most recently released Ghost of Yotei, an indirect sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. Ghost of Yotei Legends, a co-op multiplayer DLC, is coming in 2026.
