PlayStation will keep on acquiring more studios in the future

Sony has put its newly acquired studios to good use. Firesprite Games is currently assisting Guerilla Games with Horizon Call of the Mountain while working on a AAA horror title using Unreal Engine 5 and Housemarque is reportedly the leading candidate to work on the Twisted Metal reboot. Meanwhile, the sky is the limit for Bluepoint Games after proving that it can handle large-scale projects like the PS5-exclusive remake, Demon's Souls.

With Sony's older studios also working on their own thing, PlayStation owners don't have to worry about first-party games for the foreseeable future.

Speaking of first-party exclusives, Ryan reaffirmed Sony's decision not to add its best-selling titles to the revamped PS Plus, saying that it is "going to stick to the approach that we have and has served us well under many years now."

Ryan's comments about PlayStation Studios' acquisition plans line up with what Kinda Funny Games' Greg Miller and GamesBeat's Jeff Grub said earlier. Both reported that Sony will announce a new studio acquisition soon. In particular, the former alluded to a buyout as part of the three big news items that Sony was going to reveal, which we now know included its plans for the PS Plus subscription service.

Despite the rumors, Sony has not shown indications that it's close to securing a deal for a new studio, but for all we know, Ubisoft could be next with others coming soon.
