Japan Studio

1999–2021[]

On February 25, 2021, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that they would be reorganizing Japan Studio^[1] - which would result in the discontinuation of the name - with the remaining staff redirected to Team Asobi (a pre-existing and the only surviving division of Japan Studio, with Team Asobi being spun off into its own studio, which would still be part of Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation Studios).
