Sony Set To Acquire More Studios After Bungie
Following today’s huge news that Sony is purchasing Halo and Destiny developer Bungie for a whopping $3.6 billion, the company is reportedly not done with making massive acquisitions.
Head of Gamesindustry.biz Christopher Dring shared in a tweet that PlayStation President and CEO Jim Ryan claims fans should be expecting further acquisitions from the gaming giant. He stopped short of sharing any further information on which publishers Sony could be looking at acquiring, however, but it’s safe to say there are plenty of options available.

Sony’s acquisition of Bungie comes only a couple of weeks after Microsoft’s historic buyout of Activision Blizzard was first announced. As Sony and Microsoft continue these industry-altering acquisitions, it’s clear that the two companies are hoping to secure as much exclusivity as possible for their individual platforms–though Microsoft looks set to keep certain games multiplatform for the time being, and Bungie’s games will stay on other platforms, too.
