Sony reportedly to announce Bluepoint Games acquisition at next State of Play

Recently, Sony announced two more PlayStation Studios acquisitions, nabbing Housemarque and Nixxes. It is widely believed that a third acquisition is also set to be announced, likely to be announced during an upcoming State of Play stream. 

While Bluepoint Games recently updated its Twitter bio to point out that it is an independent studio, a tweet from Sony Japan with an image welcoming the studio to PlayStation's first-party line-up suggests that a deal is in the works.

According to Nick Baker, Bluepoint Games joining PlayStation Studios was supposed to be one of the big surprises for an upcoming State of Play stream. While Sony has not announced its next State of Play yet, insiders claim that there will be one in July.

Bluepoint Games has long been rumoured to be joining PlayStation Studios. The studio has already released a PS5 exclusive with the Demon’s Souls and previously worked on other remakes, including 2018’s Shadow of the Colossus.

KitGuru Says: Bluepoint Games joining PlayStation seems like an inevitability at this point. Hopefully Sony's next State of Play stream isn't too far off.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
