Sony announces $204m impairment loss against Bungie ...
If they stick the landing with renegades they could bounce back; edge of fate was such a disaster they should know to pivot back to what worked with forsaken/witch queen...
www.neogaf.comHere’s the latest on Sony/Bungie impairment losses based on recent reporting.
- Sony disclosed a substantial impairment charge linked to Bungie in its FY2025 results, with the annual figure around $765 million (roughly ¥120.1 billion). This builds on an earlier impairment in the prior quarter, bringing the total impairment for Bungie assets close to $765–$770 million for the year.
- The impairment reflects a write-down of Bungie’s asset value due to underperformance of Bungie’s franchises (notably Destiny-related performance) and Marathon’s sales trajectory, rather than a cash outlay. Sony emphasized that while the impairment is non-cash, it signals a reassessment of Bungie’s value relative to expectations at acquisition.
- Despite the impairment, Sony signaled continued backing for Marathon and ongoing investments in Sony’s next-generation platform ambitions, suggesting a broader strategy to shore up long-term growth even as Bungie’s current assets underperform.
