Sony corta trabajos en PlayStation Visual Arts Studio

Autor:Kristen Actualizar:Apr 22,2025

Recientemente, Sony ha despedido a un número no especificado de empleados de su estudio de artes visuales en San Diego y PS Studios Malasia, según lo informado por Kotaku y confirmado por ex empleados en LinkedIn. Según Kotaku, el personal afectado fue notificado a principios de esta semana que su último día sería el 7 de marzo. Estos despidos incluían desarrolladores que habían trabajado en varios proyectos, incluido un juego de servicio en vivo recientemente cancelado en Bend Studio. Visual Arts, conocida por proporcionar arte y soporte técnico a los estudios de primera parte de PlayStation, contribuyó especialmente a los remasters de los últimos de nosotros, parte 1 y 2.

IGN ha identificado varios desarrolladores en LinkedIn que confirmaron sus despidos de artes visuales y al menos uno de PS Studios Malasia. Un ex empleado de artes visuales mencionó que estos despidos resultaron de "múltiples cancelaciones de proyectos".

Esto marca la segunda ronda de despidos en las artes visuales en los últimos dos años, después de otra ola en 2023 que también afectó a un número desconocido de individuos. No está claro cuántos empleados quedan en las artes visuales o en qué proyectos está trabajando el estudio actualmente. IGN ha buscado comentarios de PlayStation sobre estos desarrollos.

Estos despidos son parte de una tendencia más amplia de recortes de empleo y cancelaciones de proyectos dentro de la industria del juego que comenzó en 2023. Ese año vio más de 10,000 desarrolladores de juegos, un número que aumentó a más de 14,000 en 2024. En 2025, la tendencia ha continuado, aunque las cifras precisas son más difíciles de surgir, ya que más estudios han elegido no haber descrito los números exactos de aquellos afectados.

As of now, there is no official announcement from Larian Studios or any major publisher confirming that Divinity: Original Sin 2 will receive a free upgrade for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch 2.
However, here’s what is known:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has already been released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (with enhanced versions on the Switch OLED and Switch 2).
The enhanced version of the game for Nintendo Switch 2 (or the upcoming Switch 2 hardware) has not been officially confirmed by Nintendo or Larian Studios.
The game was initially released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Later, a next-gen upgrade was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which included performance improvements, higher resolution, and faster load times. This was not a free upgrade—it required purchasing the new-gen version separately, though players who owned the original on those platforms could get it at a discount.
For the Nintendo Switch, an enhanced version was released in 2022 (for Switch OLED and later for Switch 2), but again, not as a free upgrade.

So, while fans are hopeful for a free upgrade across all new platforms, including a potential free upgrade for the Switch 2, no such official free update has been announced.
👉 Bottom line: Divinity: Original Sin 2 has received enhanced versions on new hardware, but not as free upgrades. Always check official sources like Larian Studios’ website or platform-specific announcements (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) for the latest.
Stay tuned—Larian often surprises fans with new content, but as of now, a free upgrade across PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 is not confirmed.
