PlayStation Studios got noticeably bigger this year thanks to the recent acquisitions of Housemarque and, as of yesterday, Firesprite. This brings the total of main studios (not counting support ones like Nixxes, also acquired this year by Sony) to fourteen, against the twenty-two separate developers of Xbox Game Studios following Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax.

PlayStation Studios head Hermen Hulst, formerly co-founder and managing director of Guerrilla Games for almost twenty years, talked about the continued growth in an interview published yesterday by GamesIndustry. He highlighted that the acquisitions are very selective and focused on quality as well as good relationships.
