Sony has significantly reduced the list of developers committed to creating games for the PlayStation 4, removing a number of European studios named last week.

[PS4: All the news | All the facts | Every video of all the games | Official pictures | PS4 Specs]

The original list of 53 developers was released shortly after console's official announcement and included big names such as Namco Bandai, Bethesda, Rockstar, Disney and numerous others.

A spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has told Joystiq the initial list was wrong. A number of high-profile studios have been removed, including Mojang, Rovio, Criterion Games, City Interactive and Frozenbyte.

However, new studios have also been added to the roster, most notably Deep Silver, Ninja Theory, IO Interactive, Codemasters, 2K Games, Sumo Digital, Bohemia Interactive, and CD Projekt, which confirmed The Witcher 3 is coming to the PS4.

Many of the studios removed from the original list, such as Mojang, 17-Bit and Vlambeer, haven't outright ruled out supporting Sony's next console, and have simply stated they either have nothing currently in development for the console, or haven't decided on anything yet.

There is a possibility that some supporting studios may have wanted their names removed to prevent their projects being announced informally or prematurely.

Of 150+ developers they removed around 25. Not half.

I'm guessing they listed devs wanting dev kits too which was silly

Those are European studios.
We have to see if they 'adjust' the list for other regions as well.

I hope everyone agrees that they did this on purpose. You don't put 25 studios on such a list by accident.

Add a quick "from Europe" in the title. Everyone's happy. I really wonder how this happened.

Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Funny how the original list includes all regions and the revised list doesn't. Almost like there's some kind of agenda at play here!

Sony hyping up non-existent support again? I'm not surprised if I'm being honest

These developers will begin making PS4 games eventually anyway so its all good. I don't understand why Sony feels it has to lie about things like this.
