Sony will lay off more than 900 PlayStation workers. In Europe, PlayStation London Studio will be closed and there will be downsizing at Firesprite and Guerrilla Games. According to reports In Japan, there will implement a next career support program however it unknown whether this will extend to other regions.

CEO Jim Ryan stated in a letter to employees,

After careful consideration and many leadership discussions over several months, it has become clear changes need to be made to continue to grow the business and develop the company. We had to step back, look at our business holistically, and move forward focusing on the long-term sustainability of the company and delivering the best experiences possible for our community. The goal is to streamline our resources to ensure our continued success and ability to deliver experiences gamers and creators have come to expect from us.

I want to be as transparent as possible with you, our partners, and our community about what this means:

* We envision reducing our headcount by about 900 people, or about 8% of our current workforce

* There will be impact for employees across all SIE regions – Americas, EMEA, Japan, and APAC

* Several PlayStation Studios are affected
