Sony has added yet another talented pool to their line-up of creative talents, as PlayStation welcomes Firesprite to the PlayStation Studios family!

In a statement released by the Liverpool based developer, MD Graeme Ankers expressed the team’s excitement and pleasure in joining the growing PlayStation family.

Today is an incredibly exciting day for Firesprite as we join PlayStation Studios with the backing of Hermen and the entire PlayStation Family. We are very much looking forward to the next part of our journey!

Firesprite, headquartered in Liverpool in the North-West of the UK, was founded in 2012 with the vision of creating games that bring new innovations to any experience we develop. The North-West is steeped in gaming history, producing many iconic developers, publishers and games such as WipEout. Many of our ‘Sprites developed and shaped titles from this era and we are very proud of those roots!

Credited for creating several games with PlayStation for The Playroom and The Playroom VR, Firesprite joins other illustrious studios such as Nixxes Software and Housemarque — who were acquired by PlayStation Studios as well. That increases the potential and talent pool of Sony’s video game brand, and there’s definitely going to be a lot of possibilities moving forward.
