One of PS5, PS4's Best Exclusive Devs Has Grown to Over 500 Staff | Push Square
Insomniac Games, the first-party studio responsible for iconic PS5 titles like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, has reportedly grown to employ over 500 developers.
The increased headcount was spotted on the company's LinkedIn page by eagle-eyed Redditors, which are currently split between Insomniac's three current projects, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Marvel's Wolverine, and a mysterious multiplayer project we know little about. For comparison, Naughty Dog, long considered the first amongst equals within PlayStations' first-party family, is estimated to have around 750 employees.
