Bungie To Soon Become A Complete Part of PlayStation Studios

Expert Verified By

'This Independence Is Getting Lighter'

Story Highlight
  • Sony CFO Says Bungie could soon shift roles and become a PlayStation Studios.
  • The studio had worked independently since its acquisition by Sony in 2022 for $3.6 billion.
  • This would mark a huge change in proceedings after Bungie failed to produce results.

Sony acquired Bungie Studios in 2022, hoping it would be a great partnership, especially amid the success of Destiny. Since then, while being a part of PlayStation, the studio has been working independently, but that could change soon. 

During its recent financial briefing, Sony revealed that it plans to merge Bungie into the company, officially making it a ‘PlayStation Studio‘ after it has worked as its own division in the last 3 years. 

Why it matters: Bungie hasn’t been able to produce the results expected of it. First, there were issues with the work environment, then the quality of games, so Sony has now decided to take the driving seat.

Bungie could soon become a part of PlayStation Studios

Sony CFO Lin Tao recently revealed during a Q/A that Sony is considering making Bungie a PlayStation Studio. The independence is getting lighter, so the studio is shifting to a role more in line with other in-house studios. 

This independence is getting lighter. So Bungie is shifting into a role which is becoming more a part of PlayStation Studios. And integration is also proceeding.

Naturally, considering the state of Bungie, this could be a blessing in disguise for the company. Destiny 2 isn’t in the best of shape, and even the upcoming Marathon seems to be suffering from poor reviews after internal testing. 

Fans also seem to agree, for the most part. They argue that PlayStation taking over could lead to better game quality and overall increased creativity. This move possibly can’t make things any worse than they are now. 

The results could be really interesting from here. Fans recently voted Sony’s $3.6 billion acquisition of Bungie as a terrible investment, but with increased focus, it could turn things around, as it’s not too late for it.
