Official PlayStation Magazine will continue in UK
Following the announcement that the US Official PlayStation Magazine is to close, Future Publishing and Sony Computer Entertainment have confirmed that the UK version will continue.
"This is a matter between Ziff Davis and Sony US. In the UK and Europe, Future continues to enjoy a long and successful relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe," a Future spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz.
"This deal has been further cemented this week with the release of our third Official title in the UK - the brand new Official PlayStation Magazine, which focuses on the PlayStation 3."
A spokesperson for Sony UK added, "We are fully committed to and supportive of OPM, and will continue to be for the forseeable future."
The announcement that OPM US is to close was made earlier today, with Ziff Davis citing an increased focus on digital media and content distribution as the reason.
