The legendary game studio Insomniac Games is most well-known for its work on the "Ratchet & Clank" game series, but had its greatest success with 2018's excellent "Marvel's Spider-Man" on the PlayStation 4.The deal is already paying off for Sony: 2018's PlayStation 4 exclusive "Marvel's Spider-Man" has sold tens of millions of copies since launch.
Going forward, all of Insomniac's games will presumably be locked to Sony's PlayStation game consoles. "As a result of this acquisition, Insomniac Games has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony," the filing says.
