0 In a joint announcement, Playstation Studios have added a new member to their ever-growing team.
Firesprite is based in Liverpool and is formed by several members of the Studio Liverpool team that was closed in 2012. The founding team of 5 met up socially following the closure and Firesprite launched the same year. Firesprite worked closely with Team Asobi to introduce us to Playroom, and those loveable bots when the Playstation 4 launched.
Following the success of Playroom, they worked on Playroom VR. Not just limiting itself to console titles Firesprite is the team behind the popular title Run Sackboy Run that came to Android, IOS and Playstation Vita.
Recently Firesprite brought The Persistence Enhanced to gamers following its VR debut that it was available to the wider non VR user as The Persistence. You can read what I thought about The Persistence Enhanced in my review
