Sepreth(@Sepreth):Sucker Punch cut 26 jobs even after Ghost of Yotei became Sony’s best-selling PS5 game of 2026 as of June. An ex-employee told Aftermath the studio, which has fewer than 200 people, let them go. Leadership’s email cited “challenges in the market” and the needs of the next project. Yotei lagged Tsushima in units but beat it in revenue. Its expansion also drew strong reviews. The numbers did not stop the cuts. The studio said it would share more on its plans next week.
