The studio has won multiple awards for its work on popular AAA titles. In 2013, they won the Tiga award for Best Arcade Game for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and they also won the 2015 DICE award for Best Family Game for LittleBigPlanet 3.

From its small beginnings in 2003 with only 15 people, the studio has grown and now employs over 500 people.
