Returnal was one of the biggest PlayStation 5 hits since the console launched back in November, so it should come as no surprise that PlayStation Studios has acquired the developers behind the roguelike title, Housemarque.
There have been rumblings for some time that Housemarque had been acquired by Sony, following an interview with the head of Diorama Studio. The studio head was discussing what it was like working on Returnal, but claimed he couldn’t say too much due to an NDA and especially now that “Housemarque is under Sony’s umbrella”.

PlayStation Studios Acquires Housemarque
The speculation on the acquisition can be laid to rest as the official PlayStation Twitter account announced the news earlier today. Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, said that he is “thrilled to welcome a new member to the PlayStation Studios family”.
As noted in the announcement, the relationship between PlayStation and Housemarque began over 26 years ago with Super Stardust HD for the PS3. Since then, the developers have gone on to create hit titles such as Resogun, Nex Machina, and most recently, Returnal for the PS5.
