While many are enjoying the holidays, this year remains one of the most stressful for PlayStation Studios’ Insomniac Games. It is hard to hide to story that the developer fell victim to a cyber attack which included over 1 TB of leaked data including upcoming projects and employee information. The most notable is the leaked playbook of titles well into 2030.
Additionally, this also revealed a new IP is underway at Insomniac Games which aims to release sometime in 2032 at the latest. What is more worrying is the planned layoffs at Insomniac Games. With 50-75 estimated, it is saddening to see more talent is being removed as PlayStation’s most popular IP continues to grow. Not to mention one planned studio closure is also in the pipeline as well.
According to a new finding from Niche Gamer, Sony Interactive Entertainment is considering increasing the price of its games. It is reported that the data reveals considerations for a price bump up to $80-$100. Even more, there are also details implying that PlayStation Studios releases are also being sold in separate segments as well.
Priced at $50 a piece can certainly add up. In regards to Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, Niche Gamer tells that the game is expected to separate its story mode into two parts alongside a multiplayer portion: costing a total of $150. Elsewhere in the Insomniac games leak recently, it was pinned a multiplayer Spider-Man project was in the works. But, it was later reported to be canceled with the effort now allocated to the third game.
The conversation of another price jump at PlayStation is noting news either. Previously, it was reported that Sony Interactive Entertainment did contemplate selling its titles above the newly established $70 price tag. You can read the full report by heading here.
Do you back the idea of games being sold separately?
