What Studio Acquisitions have really paid off for a publisher so far?

Darn beat me to it. $229 million was a bargain price for a top quality studio.

Delivering 2 AAA games for since their acquisition in 2019 is quite a feat. And are currently working on a sequel to Spiderman 2 (2023) and Wolverine (TBC). A real work horse tbh.

And in theory, I could also see Insomniac having one or two other games in the works as well but I admit, it’s overly ambitious xD 

That might be a biting a bit more off than they can chew lol. But who knows, Sony seem to be expanding their other internal studios are quite a high rate - like Firesprite. Maybe they can throw in more resources at them for make other stuff on the side; considering at how efficient these guys are xP But yeah if can push out a decent game (or two) every couple of years I'd be happy

Also, surprised noone mentioned Bungie when they were acquired by Microsoft in 2000. They basically put helped Microsoft and put Xbox on the map. With multiple sequels and 5 Halo games. That's a huge AAA game every 2-3 years.
