The gaming behemoth announced that this will result in the complete closure of PlayStation’s London Studio in addition to layoffs in the US and Japan.
Boss Jim Ryan described the move as “sad news” and noted that it was “a difficult day at our company” in a blog post that included an email issued to staff members.
“We have concluded that tough decisions have become inevitable,” he stated.
“The leadership team and I made the incredibly difficult decision to restructure operations, which regrettably includes a reduction in our workforce impacting very talented individuals who have contributed to our success.”
The layoffs occur one month after rival Microsoft announced intentions to fire 1,900 employees in its gaming session.
