PlayStation's Success Overshadowed by Potential Studio Closure Amidst Insomniac's Struggles

Despite the huge success of Insomniac Games and their track record of delivering hit games, internal documents reveal that Sony is pressuring the studio to cut costs and reduce headcount. Insomniac's upcoming slate includes at least six titles planned for the next decade, but Sony wants future major games to be made for $350 million or less. The studio is being asked to make cuts from the larger teams working on Wolverine and Spider-Man, potentially impacting the development of a future Ratchet & Clank game and a new IP. Insomniac also mentions that there may be a studio closure within the PlayStation umbrella. The reasons behind these cost-cutting measures are unclear, especially considering Insomniac's success and efficiency.
