Overview
- An investigation by MP1st, cited by Push Square and Dexerto, identified Sony-owned Firesprite as the studio behind a Breaking Bad PlayStation VR project that was canceled.
- The concept targeted a short narrative experience for VR that let players explore show locations such as Walter White’s backyard, the RV, and the New Mexico desert.
- Development traced back to 2017, Sony acquired Liverpool-based Firesprite in 2021, and in 2022 creator Vince Gilligan said the project never came to fruition because building VR games takes years and millions of dollars.
- Gilligan credited producer Jenn Carroll with writing several game story drafts across multiple concepts, yet none progressed to release.
- Push Square framed the finding within a run of Firesprite cancellations, including a reported Twisted Metal effort, reflecting shifting priorities inside Sony’s first‑party pipeline.
