Sony Buys 'Spider-Man' Developer Insomniac Games
Sony is buying Insomniac Games, the makers of Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank.
Insomniac has already a long history of making Sony exclusives.
This news means no more Microsoft exclusives like the Sunset Overdrive and probably no more Oculus Rift games—Insomniac will likely focus on PS VR content if it continues to develop virtual reality titles.
Sony also announced that Marvel's Spider-Man was the best-selling Spidey game of all time, selling 13.2 million copies worldwide by the end of July, 2019.
The details of the acquisition remain confidential.
The deal will help the console maker boost its game offerings ahead of the launch of rival game streaming services from companies, including Alphabet Inc’s Google, and as it prepares to unveil PlayStation 5 next year.
