After several years of close collaboration on several games, including The Playroom (PS4) and The Playroom VR (PS VR), I couldn’t be happier to welcome Firesprite to the PlayStation Studios family as our 14th studio. Firesprite is a creative and ambitious software house, exceptional at creating incredible experiences that truly show the potential of our hardware. The team’s technical and creative skills will be key to growing our stellar catalog of exclusive games and I think you will be thrilled with what’s to come.
