Official Playstation World Is No More
August 13, 2009 - The Official Playstation World Magazine has ‘officially’ closed their doors. Future Publishing is still working on their other title, the Unofficial Playstation Magazine, but that doesn’t mean all of the former writers have a new job.
This is a sad day, and we wish Future Publishing the best of luck and growth with the UPM seeing as they just ended their biggest competition–themselves!
James Binns, publishing director of Future’s games portfolio said: “It’s always incredibly sad when we close a title as established as PSW, but the decision was taken in response to decreasing demand.”
“We continue to invest in our traditional print brands, but games is a rapidly changing sector, so our portfolio needs to constantly evolve to meet the needs of consumers in a vibrant and diverse market.”
A statement from Future confirmed that one member of the magazine’s team has already been redeployed within the business, while it is in consultation with four other staff affected by the closure and looking for opportunities to reposition them within roles across its Bath and London offices.
