Bungie, the developer of Destiny 2<\/em>, is now officially a part of Sony<\/a>. The PlayStation maker had announced its intent to acquire the gaming studio in January<\/a>, and now, that acquisition is complete. At the initial announcement, Sony said (pdf<\/a>) the deal was worth $3.6 billion, but in an SEC filing on Friday<\/a>, it said the deal was worth \u201capproximately\u201d $3.7 billion.<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s now under the Sony umbrella, Bungie will \u201ccontinue to independently publish and creatively develop our games,\u201d Bungie CEO Pete Parsons said in a blog post from the original announcement of the acquisition<\/a>. And future games in development won\u2019t be PlayStation exclusives, Bungie\u2019s Joe Blackburn and Justin Truman said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Sony does plan to lean on Bungie for its \u201cworld-class expertise in multi-platform development and live game services,\u201d which \u201cwill help us deliver on our vision of expanding PlayStation to hundreds of millions of gamers,\u201d Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan said in January<\/a>. Sony views live service games as a critical part of PlayStation\u2019s future, as it plans<\/a> to launch more than 10 new live service games by March 2026.<\/p>\n
