Sony Cuts 292 Bungie Jobs

In a devastating blow to the studio responsible for one of gaming's most enduring franchises, Sony has cut 292 jobs at Bungie, significantly reducing the Destiny 2 development team.

The cuts come as Sony acknowledged that Destiny 2's final chapter 'failed to meet commercial expectations' after more than a decade of service, marking an abrupt end to one of the original live-service success stories.

The restructuring is part of a broader wave of layoffs sweeping the video game industry, as publishers face rising development costs and shifting player habits.

This reduction follows previous cost-cutting measures by Sony, which had been looking to Bungie's expertise in live-service games to inform its own portfolio strategy.
