Sony coupe les emplois au Playstation Visual Arts Studio

Auteur：Kristen Mise à jour：Mar 27,2025

Sony a récemment entrepris des licenciements affectant un nombre non divulgué d'employés dans son studio d'arts visuels à San Diego et aux Studios PS Malaisie, tel que rapporté par Kotaku et confirmé par d'anciens employés sur LinkedIn.

Selon Kotaku, le personnel touché a été informé plus tôt cette semaine que leur emploi se terminerait le 7 mars. Les licenciements comprenaient des développeurs qui avaient travaillé sur divers projets, y compris un jeu de service en direct récemment annulé au Bend Studio. Visual Arts, principalement connu pour son art et son support technique, a largement collaboré avec d'autres studios de première partie PlayStation, contribuant notamment aux Remasters des Part 1 et 2 des parties 1 et 2.

IGN a identifié plusieurs développeurs sur LinkedIn qui ont confirmé leurs licenciements à partir des arts visuels, ainsi qu'au moins un de PS Studios Malaysia. Un ancien employé des arts visuels a mentionné que ces licenciements résultaient de "plusieurs annulations de projet".

Cela marque le deuxième cycle de licenciements sur les arts visuels au cours des deux dernières années, à la suite d'un événement similaire en 2023. La taille actuelle du personnel et les projets en cours sur les arts visuels restent flous. IGN a demandé des commentaires sur PlayStation à ce sujet.

Ces licenciements font partie d'une tendance plus large des suppressions d'emplois et des annulations de projets dans l'industrie du jeu, qui a commencé en 2023. Cette année-là, plus de 10 000 développeurs de jeux auraient été licenciés, le nombre augmentant à plus de 14 000 en 2024. En 2025, la tendance persiste, bien que les chiffres exacts soient plus difficiles à déterminer, car plus de studios choisissent de ne pas divulguer les numéros affectés.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
