Sony has announced that it will terminate 8% of its global PlayStation workforce, affecting around 900 employees. This decision includes the closure of PlayStation's London Studio, alongside cuts in the US and Japan.
The video game studio responsible for Spider-Man 2 has fallen victim to a significant ransomware attack. Hackers, demanding a $2 million ransom from Sony-owned Insomniac, the studio behind the Play Station 5 hit, have exposed information including details about upcoming releases and work-in-progress footage of the anticipated Wolverine game. The leaked data, encompassing private employee information and internal company emails, has prompted condemnation from fellow game developers, journalists, and fans.
