Bluepoint Games was founded in 2006 by Andy O'Neil and Marco Thrush, former
Retro Studios employees who had worked on
Metroid Prime. The studio's first title,
Blast Factor, was released later that year. In August 2009,
Sony Computer Entertainment announced that Bluepoint would be developing the remastered versions of
God of War and
God of War II as
God of War Collection, available on the
PlayStation 3. The studio's remasters of
Ico and
Shadow of the Colossus as
The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection for the PlayStation 3 were released in September 2011. The studio also handled the remastered HD versions of
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence included in the
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, which was released on November 8, 2011. Bluepoint collaborated with SuperBot Entertainment to develop
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (2012), which was built on Bluepoint's proprietary engine. Bluepoint also ported the game to the
PlayStation Vita. Following
Titanfall, Bluepoint remastered the three PlayStation 3 titles in the
Uncharted franchise to the PlayStation 4 as
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, as well as
Gravity Rush Remastered, which was released in Japan at the end of 2015 and internationally in early 2016. In 2018, Bluepoint remade
Shadow of the Colossus for the PlayStation 4. The following year, co-founder O'Neil passed away at age 47 in June 2019. By August 2019, the studio had hired several other former Retro Studios staff. Notable hires include designer Kynan Pearson in July 2013 and artist Elben Schafers in 2014. In June 2020, Bluepoint developed a remake of ''
Demon's Souls,'' released as a
launch title for the
PlayStation 5 in November 2020 and received universal acclaim from critics.
Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) acquired Bluepoint on September 30, 2021, making it part of
PlayStation Studios. SIE had previously leaked its intent to buy the studio in June that year. At the time, Bluepoint and its roughly 70 employees were working on original content. On February 19, 2026, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that it would shut down Bluepoint Games in March 2026, following an internal business review. == Games developed ==
