The best place I've ever worked! ❤️ Thanks for the memories.

As we close the doors, and all go forward to new adventures, we wanted to say a heartfelt thank you, to all our past and present, players and colleagues who have supported us over the years. We’ve had one wild and wonderful journey! 👋💙

Today we're doing a 5 mile walk to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK. It's been 1 year since we said goodbye to Justin Der Gregorian from our team. For those of you that didn't have the pleasure of knowing Justin, he was a hugely loved Senior Producer who we lost to Bowel Cancer. Together with his friends and family, a group of us from the studio met up in London to walk together in his memory. ❤️ Bowel Cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with more than 16,500 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable. The funds we raise will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, fund and support research into bowel cancer and support campaigns for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all. If you're able to, we encourage you to make a donation here: fundraise.bowelcanceruk.org.…

I love that my team runs this internship every year. 👏🏽 If you: - are passionate about games. - may not have a degree, or access to games courses. - perhaps work in a different industry, and never had the opportunity to work in games but want to. ... We want to hear from you!
Our London Studio Internship programme is BACK!🥳 This paid opportunity looks to open doors into the games industry and provide a platform to help kickstart careers. Previous experience working in games isn't a requirement... just passion! Read more: playstationlondonstudio.com/…

Such a beautiful thing to play on a rainy Saturday though. The immigrant parents story hit home. I cried. Then called my mum. Bravo @venbaGame team ❤️

For the last 12 years my mum has fostered 4 young refugees. Their own families sent them away out of sheer desperation & pain, in blind hope that they would be okay. Just cos there's a few cushions & a shiny lamp doesn't change the fact that this is a camp to abandon people in.
🎥Suella Braverman was so impressed by the decor of the Rwanda homes being built for migrants deported from the UK that she joked she wanted the name of their interior designer Read more: telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

"There’s a quote about how a company is only as good as its people. I’ve personally seen this to have a lot of truth to it. It makes me proud that London Studio invests in this." As we wrap up 2022, we're sharing some of our highlights in our latest blog: playstationlondonstudio.com/…

"You play as an Indian mom who immigrates to Canada with her family in the 1980s. Players will cook various dishes and restore lost recipes, hold branching conversations and explore in this story about family, love, loss and more." Argh ♥️ 🥹 I need this game!
It's been so hard to keep this under wraps but the day is finally here!!! We're beyond excited to announce that Venba will be coming to the Nintendo Switch in Spring 2023!!!🥳🥳🥳

Surprise, surprise.
In 2011 I called the police about harassment I was receiving from an ex partner. A year later the police officer who visited my flat became a harasser too. He repeatedly text and called me to strike up a relationship, despite me clearly telling him to stop.

Our Summer Social’s are an annual event we host as a two day offsite. This year was a special one, not only because it was a chance for all of us to get together, but because it’s our 20th birthday. 🥳 What better way to celebrate than with a party and importantly… cake!

Massively late to the #MsMarvel party but my heart is so full watching it. Means so much to see a Pakistani superhero on screen. The parts about the partition of India had me in tears! I've so many stories from my own grandparents about it, so seeing it visualised like this is 🥹

At the risk of my feed being all about cats, I had to share this: 2 hours before I was due to leave for the airport last week - ANOTHER CAT gave birth in my garden. Panic called the local vets who kindly took her in whilst she was in active labour. Welcome to the world 🐱

I basically run a kitty hospital now.

Going to miss this smile.
It's with great sadness that we are sharing our dear friend and Senior Producer, Justin Der Gregorian is no longer with us. Justin was hugely loved and his positivity has had a massive impact on our work at the studio as well as in our lives. We will remember him, always.
