Former Sony exec explains Japan Studio's closure due to market shift away from mid-sized games.
Former Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida explained on a podcast that Sony's Japan Studio closed in 2021 due to the decline of the mid-sized "double-A" game market.
The studio's games, like Ape Escape and the Knack series, struggled to compete as the market shifted towards larger "AAA" titles.
With the gap filled by indie games, the studio was shut down, though some former employees formed Team Asobi, which created the successful Astro Bot game.
