Sony is said to have closed Bluepoint Games, the Austin studio it brought into PlayStation's fold in 2021. Bluepoint earned strong praise for high-profile remakes including the PS4 Shadow of the Colossus and the PS5 Demon's Souls; the reported shutdown raises immediate questions about the fate of current projects and staff. Details remain limited and official confirmation from Sony has not been provided at the time of reporting.

  • Acquisition history: Bluepoint became part of PlayStation Studios in 2021 after years of independent work on high-end remakes and ports.
  • Notable credits: The studio built a reputation for technically ambitious remakes—most prominently Shadow of the Colossus (PS4) and Demon's Souls (PS5).
  • Workforce and projects: The closure report implies staff will be affected and any in-progress efforts could be cancelled, reassigned, or absorbed by other teams.
  • PlayStation impact: Losing Bluepoint would remove a specialized internal team known for preservation and remaster expertise from Sony's internal roster.
  • Community reaction: Fans and industry observers have expressed surprise and concern, with many awaiting a formal statement to clarify why the decision was made and what comes next.
