Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Bend Studio has laid off 30 percent of staff today, according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier. This would be around 40 people let go.

Bend Studio recently cancelled a live service game and most recently released Days Gone for the PlayStation 4 in April 2019, for PC in May 2021, and for the PlayStation 5 in April 2025.

“Sony’s Bend studio, which canceled a live-service game earlier this year, is laying off 30% of staff today (around 40 people), Bloomberg News has learned,” said Schreier. “The studio has been spinning up a new project following the cancellation.”
