Summary

Bungie may be facing another brutal round of layoffs, with one report claiming PlayStation could cut at least 50% of the studio this summer. After Destiny 2’s final major update, no active Destiny 3, Marathon pressure, and Sony’s huge Bungie impairment loss, this feels like more than just another layoff story. It feels like the next stage of PlayStation’s live-service fallout.
