In the past period of time, Sony and Microsoft have acquired a large number of game developers or studios, forming an arms race to some extent. Since 2021, Sony has acquired Housemarque, Nixxes Software, Firesprite, Bluepoint Games, Valkyrie Entertainment, and Bungee. And Haven Studios, but it doesn’t seem to have to stop yet.
Recently, Sony updated the cover picture of PlayStation Studios, and sharp-eyed netizens found that Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding appeared in the game lineup of First-Party Studio. Although Sony has not announced any acquisition so far, this change seems to imply that Sony may acquire Hideo Kojima’s game studio.
In fact, this change in the layout of Sony’s PlayStation Studios is very obscure. Due to the screen resolution and display ratio, not everyone can see the complete first-party studio game promotional picture. It happens that Sam, the protagonist of Death Strands, is on the far left of the picture.
