The cascade of goodbyes at PlayStation never stops. In 2023, we saw the departure of Jim Ryan as head of the brand. This January saw the retirement of Shuhei Yoshida, former president of SIE Worldwide Studios. Now it is the turn of one of the key figures of the studio with the best performance in recent years. Ted Price is retiring from Insomniac Games after a career spanning more than 30 years. The succession is assured, although it will be a shared transition.

Price founded the studio in 1994 and was responsible for the creation of such emblematic sagas as Spyro and Ratchet and Clank, two heavyweights of modern video games that currently live in different realities. He was also responsible for the birth of Resistance, a shooter that has had three releases on PlayStation 3 and one on PSP.

The decision was not made lightly. Price says he stepped down last year and has been working with the executive team throughout 2023 to make the transition as smooth as possible. The situation for the creators of Marvel’s Spider-Man looks like this: The management consists of three internal heavyweights. Chad Dezern, Ryan Schneider and Jen Huang are the current co-directors of Insomniac Games.

“For many years, Chad, Jen and Ryan have been instrumental in making Insomniac what we are today. I’ve seen each lead major initiatives here which have positively changed Insomniacs’ lives. Plus, they’ve consistently demonstrated the kind of collaboration and transparency that’s part of our DNA,” Price said in a statement released by SIE.
