Sony has announced a significant workforce reduction, laying off 900 PlayStation employees, equating to an 8% global headcount cut, and closing its London Studio, impacting major studios like Insomniac Games and Naughty Dog. This move is part of a broader industry trend, as Electronic Arts (EA) also disclosed layoffs affecting 5% of its workforce and a strategic pivot towards its own franchises. Both companies are navigating the evolving gaming landscape, focusing on PC and mobile platforms, amidst challenges like rising development costs and changing consumer demands. These layoffs underscore the gaming industry's current volatility and the push for sustainability and innovation in a competitive market.
