PlayStation games in development: where do we stand?
, by Enzo
Sony has been going through quite a turbulent period over the past few months, with a series of mixed developments. From the discontinuation of disc production for physical media and delays to the Pulse Elevate desktop speakers, to PS5 jailbreaks and the end of console to PC streaming...
Today, however, it's time to look on the bright side. We're taking a closer look at the latest developments across PlayStation's various studios and the games currently in development. Let's dive in!
##Polyphony Digital Best known for the iconic Gran Turismo franchise, the Japanese studio continues to support its latest entry, Gran Turismo 7 (2022), with regular events and new vehicles. Rumors also suggest that the team is already working on the next installment in the series.
Team Asobi
The creators of the franchise starring everyone's favorite little robot, Astro, released their latest game, Astro Bot, on PS5 to widespread acclaim. The title even went on to win Game of the Year in 2024. All signs now point to the Japanese studio working on a sequel to this outstanding platformer.
Firesprite
Following its latest release, the VR title Horizon Call of the Mountain, the Liverpool-based studio is currently working on Until Dawn 2, which is scheduled for release in January 2027.
Guerrilla Games
Widely recognized for the Horizon IP, the Netherlands-based studio is currently developing Horizon Hunters Gathering, a co-op action game set in the familiar world of Aloy. Unfortunately, development has reportedly been somewhat challenging. Meanwhile, Horizon Steel Frontiers, the MMORPG they are also involved in, appears to be progressing in the right direction.
Housemarque
Best known for the outstanding Returnal and, more recently, Saros, this Finnish development studio continues to roll out updates for its latest release, which launched in 2026.
Media Molecule
Based in the UK, Media Molecule is the studio behind LittleBigPlanet, which it followed up with the equally charming Sackboy franchise. Its latest release was Dreams (2024). The team is reportedly working on a life sim similar to Animal Crossing.
Nixxes Software
Also based in the Netherlands, this studio specializes in bringing Sony's console games to PC. Its first major standalone release was Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered in 2024. Following its collaboration on Saros, the team's current projects remain unknown.
XDEV
Having collaborated with several PlayStation studios, including on the recently announced Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, this Liverpool-based team tends to keep a relatively low profile. As a result, it's difficult to say what projects they're currently involved in.
Bend Studio
Operating in the United States since 1993, Bend Studio is best known for Days Gone, a game that unfortunately failed to achieve the success it deserved, along with the sequel it arguably warranted. Its current projects remain under wraps, although we do know that the studio isn't working on another game set in the Days Gone universe.
Bungie
Currently at the center of attention thanks to its major franchises, Destiny and Marathon, Bungie has been based in the United States since 1991. The studio continues to support Marathon with fresh updates and new game modes, hoping to attract an even larger player base.
Haven Studios
With previous contributions to franchises such as Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs, Haven was co-founded in Canada in 2021 by a former studio director. The team had been working on FAIRGAME$, a project that was unfortunately canceled earlier this week. Going forward, the studio is expected to lend a hand to other teams across PlayStation Studios.
Insomniac Games
It's hard to overlook this American development studio, whose reputation speaks for itself. Over the years, Insomniac has brought several legendary franchises to life. After spending the better part of a decade working on Spider-Man, the studio's latest release, Marvel's Wolverine, launched in September 2026. Meanwhile, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 and Venom are both rumored to be in development.
Naughty Dog
Another legendary studio behind acclaimed franchises such as Uncharted and The Last of Us, this California-based developer is currently putting the finishing touches on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
San Diego Studio
Also based in California, where it has been operating since 2001, this relatively low-profile studio recently released MLB The Show 26, the latest entry in its annual sports franchise. The team is reportedly working on a mobile game based on the same IP.
Santa Monica Studio
We're almost through PlayStation's legendary studios, but this is certainly one team worth highlighting. Based in Los Angeles, California, since 1999, Santa Monica Studio is the creative force behind Kratos and the iconic God of War franchise. Following an impressive run of critically acclaimed releases, the studio's latest game is the pixel-art Metroidvania spin-off God of War: Sons of Sparta, which received a rather lukewarm reception. Attention has now shifted to its next major installment, God of War: Laufey, currently scheduled for May 2027.
Sucker Punch Productions
Next, we're heading to Washington State to take a look at Sucker Punch, the studio responsible for creating Sly Cooper. While best known for Ghost of Tsushima and its successor, Ghost of Yōtei, the studio has recently released a major DLC. Its next projects have yet to be revealed.
teamLFG
Also based in Washington State, this is Sony's newest studio, having been acquired in 2025. The team has yet to release a game of its own, but it is reportedly working on a project known as Gummybears: an unconventional co-op action game drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources.
##Valkyrie Entertainment Last but not least, we have Valkyrie Entertainment, based in Washington State. The studio was originally known for the GUNS UP! franchise before being acquired by Sony. Since then, it has contributed to the development of God of War Ragnarök, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered. No further details about its current projects have emerged so far.
