Developers of critically acclaimed remakes joins the PlayStation Studios family.
Today I’m very excited to announce that PlayStation Studios has grown again with the addition of long-time partner Bluepoint Games! From the exceptional PS5 remake of Demon’s Souls to the critically acclaimed PS4 remake of Shadow of the Colossus and remasters of fan favorites like Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Bluepoint has built a name for itself by creating some of the highest-quality remasters and remakes in the industry.
With each of its projects, Bluepoint has raised the bar on console-defining visuals and gameplay, and the studio’s vast expertise in world building and character creation will be a huge plus for future PlayStation Studios properties.
Welcome to the PlayStation Studios family, Bluepoint!
“We’re thrilled to have officially joined PlayStation Studios!
Austin, Texas has been home base for Bluepoint from when we first founded the studio back in 2006 and we’re now a team of close to 70 super-talented creatives and growing.

Just need MGS remaster, not remake from ps1. I think everyone would agree
I still want Infamous 1&2 Collection (Remaster not Remake), Ico Remake, and Metal Gear Solid Remake. Come Bluepoint, make it happen. I know that you are working on something brand new that is original, but could squeeze in one of these in between. :)
Hell… It’s about time!
Great studio.
Now use your capital alliance with Kadokawa to bring back quality first party Japanese development with their massive IP’s. Bolster an expanded Asobi Studio with a team or utilise the experience of Bluepoint Games to bring us an exclusive Gravity Rush 3.
Problem with that is Sony hates Japan and Japanese studios. Other than that one boring studio that make the same game over and over there’s no “big budget” Sony studios in Japan.
The only way they could have Japanese games was to have a US studio remake them.
Would love to see them acquire studios like Vanillaware and more renowned ones and allow them to thrive.
Given the fact Sony are heavily anime centric, it serves their overall best interests to bring back their glory Japanese gaming experiences.
PlayStation are producing great games, but Japanese games provide the diversity of gaming that we have enjoyed for a while. They need to recognise this and realise there is a massive, PS platform popular world outside of the US.
