Sony plans to lay off 900 employees as part of global restructuring
Sony joins the list of games companies laying off employees as it plans to reduce its global headcount by 8%, or about 900 people.
Ryan said this is part of the company’s restructuring to help it better survive a difficult period for the games industry — SIE adds to a layoff list that is already past 1,600 jobs in 2024 alone — and “set the business up for what lies ahead.” All employees who are part of the collective consultation will be made aware of the next steps today.” Ryan himself is set to retire in March, after which Hiroki Totoki is taking over as interim CEO. Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Guerrilla Games and Firesprite would also be affected by reductions, as would PlayStation’s Technology, Creative and Support teams.
