\nIn fact, many of the team members at Firesprite came from Sony Interactive Entertainment\u2019s Liverpool studio. So everything is coming full circle as Sony brings Firesprite into the fold and welcomes back these team members. On top of all that, Sony is looking to hire more people for Firesprite to work on future PlayStation projects. Likely including new PS VR titles and some titles for the PS5.
\nAt current, Firesprite has 250 team members. But that number is due to grow in the near future as the studio seeks new talent.
\nFiresprite is the 14th PlayStation studio under Sony Interactive Entertainment
\nSony has been on a hiring spree of late. Bolstering its ranks for future game titles to come. While none of its acquisitions have been as high profile as Microsoft\u2019s purchase of Zenimax, which owns Bethesda, they have been strategic and carefully thought out.
\nEarlier this year Sony purchased House Marquee. The studio behind the smash hit PS5 title Returnal. The day after, it announced its acquisition of Nixxes Software. A studio that specializes in porting console games to the PC platform.
\nNow, its bringing on Firesprite which seems to specialize in VR. Though that won\u2019t necessarily be the breadth of its work going forward. There is a mighty good chance though that Sony is looking to enlist Firesprite to work on at least some titles for the upcoming 2nd generation of the PlayStation VR headset. Which the company announced earlier this year.
\nMore studios to come
\nSony\u2019s PlayStation studio purchases aren\u2019t over. The company is also poised to acquire Bluepoint which developed the Demon\u2019s Souls remake for PS5. As of now the announcement isn\u2019t official.
\nBut back at the end of June a tweet meant to announce the House Marquee deal accidentally leaked an image that Sony uses for its studio acquisition announcements, which had the Bluepoint logo on it. Along with the words \u201cWelcome To The Family.\u201d So an announcement is most certainly imminent.
\nIn regards to Firesprite, Sony\u2019s Head Of PlayStation Studios Herman Hulst says that the team\u2019s \u201ctechnical and creative capabilities will be paramount to growing PlayStation\u2019s stellar catalogue of exclusive games.\u201d Further noting that he thinks fans will be excited for what\u2019s on the horizon.
