Sony Writes Off Another $565 Million Impairment Loss Against Bungie

After writing https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-takes-a-204-million-hit-as-destiny-2-falls-short-of-expectations/1100-6536124/">$204 million off Bungie's value in November last year, Sony has recorded another $565 million impairment loss against the studio--resulting in a total $769 million being wiped off Bungie's value in the last financial year.

While Sony gaming's FY2025 results are generally pretty strong considering the challenging market conditions, the company listed the $769 million loss against Bungie's value as the biggest negative factor impacting its operating income.

The write down, which represents over 20% of the https://www.gamespot.com/articles/bungie-acquired-by-sony-for-3-6-billion/1100-6500122/">$3.6 billion Sony paid for Bungie back in 2022, doesn't look good for Bungie, or either of its ongoing titles.

The loss may turn out to be another nail in the coffin for Marathon, which has been slowly losing players since it launched in March.

While the game has a https://www.gamespot.com/videos/enjoy-marathon-now-before-sony-kills-it/2300-6466800/">small but loyal playerbase who appreciate its unique style and aesthetics, no one seems particularly optimistic about Marathon's longevity at the moment.
