The Last of Us maker Naughty Dog is reportedly among the latest game studios to be hit with layoffs. As per Kotaku, the first-party PlayStation studio is cutting off at least 25 developers, with the most affected members being quality assurance (QA) testers, whose contracts have been shortened. Affected workers are expected to continue working until the end of October, and they allegedly won't be receiving any severance payments. Turns out, the full-time staff — last recorded headcount being 400+ in July — are not being laid off, with employees in general being ‘pressured' to keep the news internal.

During PlayStation’s State of Play on Thursday, a Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord trailer was shown. The new multiplayer game will hit PS VR2 on October 26, 2023.
Developed by nDreams and published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality, the game will allow players to step into the suits of a new group of Ghostbusters. The new crew are starting their own business in San Francisco.
The trailer shows players being able to work together to take down ghosts, upgrade their equipment, and even use some new devices like turrets and throwable traps for ghosts.

In a PlayStation Blog post on the game, director Nathan Baseley also dives into how the PS VR2 comes into play in the game. According to Baseley, the PS VR2’s power allows for enhanced lighting and ghostly effects. The game also supports eye tracking with the PS VR2, as well as headset haptics — which will allow ghosts to taunt players — and adaptive trigger support for the PS VR2. A roundtable interview with the developers was also released, where the team dives into some more aspects of the upcoming game.
