PlayStation just KILLED Bluepoint Games (Massive Fumble)
Published Feb 20, 2026 • Duration: 3:46:50
Seeing Bluepoint Games shut down by PlayStation has the gaming world ablaze. PlayStation has officially shut down Bluepoint Games, the legendary studio behind the Demon’s Souls and Shadow of the Colossus remakes. This is a massive fumble... let’s talk about why Sony is throwing away its most talented technical team.
In a shocking report from Bloomberg, Sony Interactive Entertainment has closed Bluepoint Games following a "business review." After 20 years of industry-leading remasters and remakes, and only 5 years after being acquired, one of PlayStation Studios' crown jewels is gone.
In today’s stream, we’re breaking down:
The Live Service Curse: How the canceled God of War live service game wasted 4 years of Bluepoint’s potential.
The Strategy Shift: Why Sony is closing "prestige" studios while doubling down on risky bets.
The Loss of Talent: 70-100 developers laid off and potentially the death of the "Bloodborne Remake" dream.
PlayStation’s Future: Is the era of live service games wasting first party PlayStation studios time coming to an end?
