Insomniac Games: A Leading PlayStation Studio

Insomniac Games, established in 1994 and headquartered in Burbank, California, is a premier digital entertainment organization. Since 2019, it has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment. The studio is renowned for its high-performance creative culture and commitment to narrative-driven technical excellence.

Our Core Values

Mission-Driven Creativity

The studio aims to develop experiences that positively impact its audience, exploring themes like friendship, self-sacrifice, and the pursuit of a greater good. This is evident in narratives such as the compelling hero's journey in Marvel's Spider-Man and the camaraderie in Ratchet & Clank.

Collaborative Culture

Insomniac Games believes every team member, regardless of their role, can make a significant impact. An "open-door" policy and horizontal communication foster an environment where diverse opinions are actively sought and valued during development.

Technical & Narrative Innovation

The studio functions as a hub for advanced problem-solving, pushing boundaries in animation, narrative depth, and interactive physics. This pursuit of excellence drives the advancement of the medium through rigorous experimentation, seen in the seamless traversal of Marvel's Spider-Man and the vibrant worlds of Ratchet & Clank.

Inclusive Workplace

Insomniac Games prioritizes its internal health through industry-leading workplace practices. This commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, alongside a "people-first" philosophy, has consistently earned it recognition as a top employer in technology and media.

Strategic Autonomy

While integrated into a larger corporate ecosystem, Insomniac Games maintains a distinct identity and creative ownership. This balance enables the studio to leverage significant operational resources while retaining an agile and experimental spirit.

Notable Game Titles & Franchises
